While Jesus
taught in the
temple the
scribes and
the Pharisees
fumed in
rage, trying
to trap Him
in His speech.

Each time He
made them look foolish.

When they tried to argue that the Messiah
was David's son after the flesh, He gave them
an answer that left them speechless.
Read Luke 20:39-44

Then He warned the people of these leaders,
that they sought the praises of men, but in
secret did such things as cheat the widow out of
her possessions and "for show make long prayers".
Luke 21:47.
