Luke 20:37–47
37But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’↗
38Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”↗
39Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”↗
40They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.↗
41He said to them,“Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?↗
42David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,↗
43until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’↗
44“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”↗
45In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,↗
46“Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;↗
47who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”↗
