Matthew 22:41-46

Jesus teaches people about the Messiah

41 While the Pharisees met together with Jesus, he asked them, 42 ‘What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?’

The Pharisees replied, ‘He will be King David's son.’

43 Jesus said to them, ‘So, think about this: God's Holy Spirit helped King David to call the Messiah his Lord. David said, 44 “The Lord said to my Lord:

Sit at my right side until I beat your enemies completely.

You will even be able to put your feet on them.” 

45 We know that King David calls the Messiah his Lord. So can you really say that he is only David's son?’ 46 Nobody could answer the question that Jesus asked. After this, everyone was afraid to ask Jesus any more questions.
