34 Jesus noticed how wise his answer was, and so he told him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”After this nobody dared to ask Jesus any more questions.
35 As Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he asked the question, “How can the teachers of the Law say that the Messiah will be the descendant of David?
36 The Holy Spirit inspired David to say:‘The Lord said to my Lord:Sit here at my right sideuntil I put your enemies under your feet.’
37 David himself called him ‘Lord’; so how can the Messiah be David's descendant?”A large crowd was listening to Jesus gladly.
38 As he taught them, he said, “Watch out for the teachers of the Law, who like to walk around in their long robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplace,
39 who choose the reserved seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts.
40 They take advantage of widows and rob them of their homes, and then make a show of saying long prayers. Their punishment will be all the worse!”
