³⁴^bBut when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced ^cthe Sadducees, they gathered together. ³⁵^dAnd one of them, ^ea lawyer, asked him a question ^fto test him. ³⁶“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” ³⁷And he said to him, ^g“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ³⁸This is the great and first commandment. ³⁹And ^ha second is like it: ⁱYou shall love your neighbor as yourself. ⁴⁰^jOn these two commandments depend ^kall the Law and the Prophets.”

Whose Son Is the Christ?

⁴¹^lNow while the Pharisees ^mwere gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, ⁴²saying, “What do you think about ⁿthe Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, ⁿ“The son of David.” ⁴³He said to them, “How is it then that David, ^oin the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,

⁴⁴^p“ ‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand,

until I put your enemies under your feet” ’?

⁴⁵If then David calls him Lord, ^qhow is he his son?” ⁴⁶^rAnd no one was able to answer him a word, ^snor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
