Matthew 22:34-46

34But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

35Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,

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

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

38This is the first and great commandment.

39And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

40On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

42saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of David.”

43He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:

44‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool” ’?

45If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”

46And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.
