Matthew 22:41–23:7
22:41–46pp—Mk 12:35–37; Lk 20:41–44
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”
“The son of David,”l they replied.
43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,
44 “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” 46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.n

23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the lawo and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.p
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see:q They make their phylacteriesa r wide and the tassels on their garmentss long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;t 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.u
