Matthew 22:34–46

³⁴And the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him; ³⁵and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying, ³⁶‘Teacher, which is the great command in the Law?’ ³⁷And Jesus said to him, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding— ³⁸this is a first and great command; ³⁹and the second is like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; ⁴⁰on these—the two commands—all the law and the prophets do hang.’

⁴¹And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them, ⁴²saying, ‘What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?’ They say to him, ‘Of David.’ ⁴³He saith to them, ‘How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying, ⁴⁴The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool? ⁴⁵If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?’ ⁴⁶And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.
