Matthew 22:41-45

41 ¹Now while the Pharisees ²were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

42 saying, "What do you think about ³the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, ⁴"The son of David."

43 He said to them, "How is it then that David, ⁵in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,

44 ⁶"'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet'?

45 If then David calls him Lord, ⁷how is he his son?"

Matthew 22:41-45 In-Context

39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

42 saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David."

43 He said to them, "How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,

44 "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet'?

45 If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?"

46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
