David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son? And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, Keep away from the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes, and to have words of respect said to them in the market-places, and to take the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts; Who take the property of widows and before the eyes of men make long prayers; they will get a greater punishment.”
