ESVEnglish Standard Version

But he said to them, “How can they say that the Christ is David’s son? For David himself says in the Book of Psalms,

“ ‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool.” ’

David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Then Jesus said to them, “Why is it said that the Messiah is the son of David? David himself declares in the Book of Psalms:

“ ‘The Lord said to my Lord:

“Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies

a footstool for your feet.” ’

David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Then he said to them, “How can they say that the Messiah is the son of David? For David himself says in the Book of Psalms:

The Lord declared to my Lord,

‘Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies your footstool.’

David calls him ‘Lord.’ How, then, can the Messiah be his son?”

NLTNew Living Translation

Then Jesus presented them with a question. “Why is it,” he asked, “that the Messiah is said to be the son of David? For David himself wrote in the book of Psalms:

‘The Lord said to my Lord,

Sit in the place of honor at my right hand

until I humble your enemies,

making them a footstool under your feet.’

Since David called the Messiah ‘Lord,’ how can the Messiah be his son?”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

But he said to them, “In what sense do they say that the Christ is David’s son? For David himself says in the book of Psalms,

‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies

a footstool for your feet.” ’

David therefore calls him ‘Lord,’ and how is he his son?”

KJV 1900King James Version

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son? And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
