The Question about the Messiah
35 While(A) Jesus was teaching in the temple, he asked,(B) “How can the scribes(C) say that the Messiah(D) is the son of David?(E) 36 David(F) himself says by the Holy Spirit: (G)
The Lord(H) declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at my right hand(I)
until I put your enemies under your feet.’[a](J)
37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How, then, can he be his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him with delight.
