New Living Translation

David’s Son and Lord
35 And continuing, Jesus said while[a] teaching in the temple courts,[b] “How can the scribes say that the Christ is David’s son? 36 David himself said by the Holy Spirit,
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies
under your feet.”’[c]
