Summary: Jesus questions why the scribes call the Messiah the son of David, even though David himself calls the Messiah “lord.” The crowd listens to him eagerly, intrigued by his teaching.
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.
