Matthew 22:40

Verse 40 of 46. The 22nd of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”

37Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38This is the first and great commandment.

39A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

40The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

42saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”

43He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

44‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
