Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?^(A)

⁴¹ And He said to them, ^(B)“How can they say that the Christ is the Son of David? ⁴² Now David himself said in the Book of Psalms:

⁴⁴ Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord’; ^(D)how is He then his Son?”

³ But He answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, and answer Me: ⁴ The ^(A)baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?”

⁵ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why ^[a]then did you not believe him?’ ⁶ But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, ^(B)for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.” ⁷ So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
