Matthew 22:42

Verse 42 of 46. The 22nd of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

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’?

45“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

46No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
