Summary: Jesus challenges the scribes' teaching by pointing out that David calls the Messiah “lord.” The people listen with joy, finding his teaching both thoughtful and inspiring.
As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said, “How do the scribes claim that the Christ is the son of David? David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said:
The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies under your feet.’
David himself calls him ‘lord’; so how is he his son?” The great crowd heard this with delight.
