Matthew 22:34-46

34Now when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they assembled together.

35And one of them, an expert in religious law, asked him a question to test him:

36“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”

37Jesus said to him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38This is the first and greatest commandment.

39The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

40All the law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

41While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them a question:

42“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said, “The son of David.”

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”’?

45If David then calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?”

46No one was able to answer him a word, and from that day on no one dared to question him any longer.
