41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, _The son_ of David.

43 He saith unto them, How 35 And Jesus answered and then doth David in spirit call said, while he taught in the him Lord, saying, temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Holy Ghost, The LORD said unto Sit thou on my right hand, my Lord, Sit thou on my right till I make thine enemies thy hand, till I make thine footstool?(244) enemies thy footstool.

45 If David then call him 37 David therefore himself Lord, how is he his son? calleth him Lord, and whence is he _then_ his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

4 For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to be borne, and lay _them_ on men's shoulders; but they _themselves_ will not move them with one of their fingers.

5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8 But be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your Master, _even_ Christ; and all ye are brethren.

9 And call no _man_ your father upon the earth: for one is your Father which is in heaven.

10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, _even_ Christ.

11 But he that is greatest among you, shall be your servant.

12 And whosoever shall exalt himself, shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself, shall be exalted.

Luke.

14 Wo unto you, scribes and 40 Which devour widows' houses Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye and for a pretence make long devour widows' houses, and for prayers these shall receive a pretence make long prayer: greater d.a.m.nation therefore ye shall receive the greater d.a.m.nation.

15 Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compa.s.s sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, ye make him two-fold more the child of h.e.l.l than yourselves.

16 Wo unto you, _ye_ blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.

17 _Ye_ fools, and blind! for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
