Jesus Stumps His Questioners
Matthew 22:41-44; Mark 12:35-37; Luke 20:41-44
Matthew 22:41-44
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, “What do you believe about the Messiah? Whose son, is he?”
​
They said to him, “The Son of David.”
​
He said to them, “How then does David, by the Spirit, call him Master, saying, ‘Yahweh said to my Master, you sit on my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool?’ If David calls him his master, how is he, his son?”
​
No one was able to answer, so from that time on, no one ever asked him any more questions.
​
Mark 12:35-37
While teaching in the temple, Jesus asked “How can the scribes say that the Messiah is the Son of David? David, himself, said by the Holy Spirit, ‘Yahweh said to my Master, you sit on my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool?’ David, himself, calls him Master. How can he be his son? And the common people enjoyed hearing him.
​
Luke 20:41-44
And he said to them, “How can they say that the Messiah is David's son? David, himself, said in the book of Psalms, ‘Yahweh said to my Master, you sit on my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool?’ David called him his Master. How is he then his son?”
