Lukas 20:44-47 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

44. Therefore, if Dovid calls him Adon, how is he [merely] ben Dovid?

45. In the hearing of all the people, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to his talmidim,

46. Beware of the Sofrim (Rabbonim), the ones wanting to strut around in long kaftans and loving [obsequious] Birkat Shalom greetings in the marketplaces and the rashei hamoshavot (chief seats) in the shuls and the places of kavod at seudos tishen,

47. Which devour the batim (houses) of the almanot (widows) and for the sake of appearance daven lengthy tefillos (prayers): the same shall receive greater damnation.
