Whose Son Is the Christ?
41 (A)Now while the Pharisees (B)were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, 42 saying, “What do you think about (C)the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, (D)“The son of David.” 43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, (E)in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,
44 (F)“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet”’?
45 If then David calls him Lord, (G)how is he his son?” 46 (H)And no one was able to answer him a word, (I)nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

Question about David’s son
41 Now as the Pharisees were gathering, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?”
“David’s son,” they replied.
43 He said, “Then how is it that David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, called him Lord when he said, 44 The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right side until I turn your enemies into your footstool’?[a] 45 If David calls him Lord, how can he be David’s son?” 46 Nobody was able to answer him. And from that day forward nobody dared to ask him anything.
