Whose son is the Messiah?
See them side by side
Matthew 22:41-46
41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42saying, “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They say to him, “David’s.” 43He says to them, “How then does David, in the Spirit, call him Lord, saying, 44‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right until I put your enemies under your feet”’? 45If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” 46And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day to question him any longer.
35And Jesus responded and said, as he taught in the temple, “How do the scribes say that the Messiah is the son of David? 36David himself said by the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right until I put your enemies under your feet.”’ 37David himself calls him Lord; so how is he his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.
41And he said to them, “How do they say that the Messiah is David’s son? 42For David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand 43until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’ 44So David calls him Lord; and how is he his son?”
The context
45If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
