41. Now while the Pharisees were still assembled there, Jesus asked them a question,
42. Saying, What do you think of the Christ? Whose Son is He? They said to Him, The Son of David.

44. The Lord said to My Lord, Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet? [Ps. 110:1.]
45. If then David thus calls Him Lord, how is He his Son?
46. And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day did anyone venture or dare to question Him.
