Expanded Bible
Is the Christ the Son of David?(A)
41 Then Jesus said, “Why do people say that the ·Christ [Messiah] is the Son of David [2 Sam. 7:12–16]? 42 [L For; Since] In the book of Psalms, David himself says:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit by me at my right ·side [L hand],
43 until I put your enemies ·under your control [L as a footstool for your feet; C meaning defeated or made subject to your authority; Ps. 110:1].”’
44 David calls ·the Christ [the Messiah; L him] ‘Lord,’ so how can ·the Christ [the Messiah; L he] be his son?”

Amplified Bible
41 Then He said to them, “How is it that people say that the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) is David’s son?(A) 42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms,
‘The Lord (the Father) said to my Lord (the Son, the Messiah),
“Sit at My right hand,
43
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’(B)
44 [a]So David calls Him (the Son) ‘Lord,’ and how then is He David’s son?”
