Matthew 22:41-46
New Living Translation
Whose Son Is the Messiah?
41 Then, surrounded by the Pharisees, Jesus asked them a question: 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”
They replied, “He is the son of David.”
43 Jesus responded, “Then why does David, speaking under the inspiration of the Spirit, call the Messiah ‘my Lord’? For David said,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord,
Sit in the place of honor at my right hand
until I humble your enemies beneath your feet.’[a]
45 Since David called the Messiah ‘my Lord,’ how can the Messiah be his son?”
46 No one could answer him. And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Matthew 22:41-46
New American Standard Bible
41 (A)Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question: 42 “What do you think about the [a]Christ? Whose son is He?” They *said to Him, “(B)The son of David.” 43 He *said to them, “Then [b]how does David [c](C)in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,
44 ‘(D)The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies under Your feet”’?
45 Therefore, if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ [d]how is He his son?” 46 (E)No one was able to offer Him a word in answer, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask Him any more questions.
