Luke 20:46

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,

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
