Matthew 22:43 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 22:43

41 ^aWhile the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

42 saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The ^aSon of David.”

43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:

44 ‘The^a Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?

45 If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”

46 ^aAnd no one was able to answer Him a word, ^bnor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.
