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

⁴¹ Before the Pharisees separated, Jesus put this question to them-- ⁴² "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "David's," they said.

⁴³ "How is it, then," Jesus replied, "that David, speaking under inspiration, calls him 'lord,' in the passage-

⁴⁴ 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand, Until I put thy enemies beneath thy feet"'?

⁴⁵ Since, then, David calls him 'lord,' how is he David's son?" ⁴⁶ No one could say a word in answer; nor did any one after that day venture to question him further.

³⁵ While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked: "How is it that the Teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David's son? ³⁶ David said himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit-- 'The Lord said to my lord: "Sit at my right hand, Until I put thy enemies beneath thy feet.'"

³⁷ David himself calls him 'lord,' how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?" The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.

⁴¹ But Jesus said to them: "How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David's son? ⁴² For David, in the Book of Psalms, says himself--'The Lord said to my lord: "Sit at my right hand, ⁴³ Until I put they enemies as a stool for thy feet."'

⁴⁴ David, then, calls him 'lord,' so how is he David's son?"
