Luke 20:44
42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
