About David's Son
(Matthew 22.41-46; Luke 20.41-44)
35 As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he said, “How can the teachers of the Law of Moses say the Messiah will come from the family of King David? 36 (A) The Holy Spirit led David to say,
‘The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit at my right side[a]
until I make your enemies
into a footstool for you.’
37 If David called the Messiah his Lord, how can the Messiah be his son?”[b]
The large crowd enjoyed listening to Jesus teach.
