Context of Luke 20:42

40And no one dared to ask him any more questions. 41Then 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 43until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” ’ 44David calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?”
