38. This is the first and greatest commandment.

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

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

41. While 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.”

43. He 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”’?

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

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