Matthew 22:38-46

38 "This is the great and foremost commandment.

39 "The second is like it, '¹YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'

40 "²On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

41 ³Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question:

42 "What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?" They said to Him, "⁴The son of David."

43 He said to them, "Then how does David ⁵in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying,

44 '⁶THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET "'?

45 "If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his son?"

46 ⁷No one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him another question.
