³⁴But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. ³⁵And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him. ³⁶“Teacher, which is the great commandment 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. ³⁸This is the great and first commandment. ³⁹And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ⁴⁰On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”

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

⁴⁴‘The Lord said to my Lord,

Sit at my right hand,

till I put thy enemies under thy feet’?

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