37

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

38

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

39

Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

40

And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

41

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?

42

And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

43

Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

44

David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

45

Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

46

Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

47

Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
