Matthew 22:41-46 - David's Son And Lord

⁴¹ While the Pharisees were still assembled, Jesus asked them, ⁴² what think ye of Christ? whose son is he to be? they answered, David's.

⁴³ how comes it then, said he, that David by inspiration calls him Lord, in these words,

⁴⁴ " the Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"

⁴⁵ why then does David call him Lord, if He be David's son? ⁴⁶ but not a man was able to answer him a word, and from that time there was no body so hardy as to ask him any more questions.

³⁵ As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he address'd himself to them, saying, why do the Scribes maintain that Christ is the son of David? ³⁶ for David himself, who was inspired by the holy spirit, has this expression, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou at my right hand till I make thy enemies thy foot-stool."

³⁷ now since David himself calls him Lord, how can he be David's son? and the common people heard him with pleasure.

⁴¹ But Jesus said to them, you affirm the Messiah must be descended from David, how can that be? ⁴² for in the book of Psalms David himself says, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, ⁴³ till I make thine enemies thy footstool."

⁴⁴ if then David stiles the Messiah his Lord, how can he be descended from David?
