35As he was teaching in the temple, Jesus asked, “How can the scribes say that the Messiah is the son of David?

36David himself said by the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”’

37David himself calls him Lord, so how is he his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.
