Matthew 22:41-46
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Jesus Asks The Pharisees, If David Calls The Messiah His Lord, How Can He Be His Son?
41 Now the Pharisees having[a] been gathered-together, Jesus questioned them, 42 saying, “What seems right to you concerning the Christ— Whose son is He?” They say to Him, “David’s”. 43 He says to them, “How then does David by[b] the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’, saying [in Ps 110:1], 44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Be sitting on My right side, until I put Your enemies under Your feet”’? 45 Therefore if David calls Him ‘Lord’, how[c] is He his son?” 46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day to question Him any more.
