The Scriptures 1998

Luke 20:39-47 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

39. And some of the scribes answering, said, “Teacher, You have spoken well.”

40. And they were not bold enough to question Him any more.

41. And He said to them, “How do they say that the Messiah is the Son of Dawiḏ?

42. “For Dawiḏ himself said in the Book of Psalms, ‘יהוה said to my Master, “sit at My right hand,

43. until I make Your enemies a footstool of Your feet.” ’

44. “Dawiḏ then calls Him ‘Master,’ how is He then his Son?”

45. And in the hearing of all the people, He said to His taught ones,

46. “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the market-places, and the best seats in the congregations, and the best places at feasts,

47. who devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers. They shall receive greater judgment.”
