Context of Matthew 22:42

40The entire Torah and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” 41Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question, saying, “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?” “David’s,” they say to Him. 43“Then how is it,” He says to them, “that David by the Ruach calls him ‘Lord’? 44For he says, ‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
