³⁴Now when^* the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled at the same place.^k ³⁵And one of them, a legal expert, put a question to him^* to test him: ³⁶“Teacher, which commandment is greatest in the law?” ³⁷And he said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’^l ³⁸This is the greatest and first commandment. ³⁹And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’^m ⁴⁰On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”

David’s Son and Lord

⁴¹Now while^* the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them, ⁴²saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.” ⁴³He said to them, “How then does David, by the Spirit, call him ‘Lord,’ saying,

⁴⁴‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand

until I put your enemies

under your feet” ’?ⁿ

⁴⁵If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how is he his son?” ⁴⁶And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day on to ask him any more questions.^*
