Luke 20:44

44 Δαυὶδ οὖν αὐτὸν κύριον ⸃ καλεῖ, καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ⸃ ἐστιν;

Luke 20:44 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:44

David therefore called him Lord
Or, "my Lord", as the Syriac and Ethiopic versions read; or, "his Lord", as the Arabic version. This is the inference from the words before cited ( Psalms 110:1 ) , upon which the following question is asked, how is he then his son?
how can these things be reconciled? in what sense can he be both his Lord and son? (See Gill on Matthew 22:45).
