Matthew 22:41-46

David’s Son and Lord

41 Now [while] the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,

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

43 He said to them, "How then does David, by the Spirit, call 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 did anyone dare from that day [on] to ask him any more [questions].
