About David's Son

(Mark 12.35-37; Luke 20.41-44)

41 While the Pharisees were still there, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose family will he come from?”

They answered, “He will be a son of King David.”[a]

43 Jesus replied, “How then could the Spirit lead David to call the Messiah his Lord? David said,

44 (A) ‘The Lord said to my Lord:
    Sit at my right side[b]
until I make your enemies
    into a footstool for you.’

45 If David called the Messiah his Lord, how can the Messiah be a son of King David?” 46 No one was able to give Jesus an answer, and from that day on, no one dared ask him any more questions.
