In context

34 When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36 Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37 David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38 In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

39 and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
