Matthew 22:35-45

35 and one of them who was a Torah expert asked a sh'eilah to trap him:
36 "Rabbi, which of the mitzvot in the Torah is the most important?"
37 He told him, "`You are to love ADONAI your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.'
38 This is the greatest and most important mitzvah.
39 And a second is similar to it, `You are to love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 All of the Torah and the Prophets are dependent on these two mitzvot."
41 Then, turning to the assembled P'rushim, Yeshua put a sh'eilah to them:
42 "Tell me your view concerning the Messiah: whose son is he?" They said to him, "David's."
43 "Then how is it," he asked them, "that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him `Lord,' when he says,
44 `ADONAI said to my Lord, "Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet"'?
45 If David thus calls him `Lord,' how is he his son?"
