Christ Baffles the Pharisees Regarding David (Mr 12:35-37).
35. And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple--and
"while the Pharisees were gathered together"
(Mt 22:41).
How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?--How come they
to give it out that Messiah is to be the son of David? In Matthew
(Mt 22:42),
Jesus asks them, "What think ye of Christ?" or of the promised and
expected Messiah? "Whose son is He [to be]? They say unto Him, The son
of David." The sense is the same. "He saith unto them, How then doth
David in spirit call Him Lord?"
(Mt 22:42, 43).
