Matthew 22:40-45 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

40. Everything that is written in the Law and the Prophets is based on these two commandments."

41. The Pharisees were gathered together. Jesus asked them,

42. "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied.

43. He said to them, "Then why does David call him 'Lord'? The Holy Spirit spoke through David himself. David said,

44. " 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control." ' (Psalm 110:1)

45. So if David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be David's son?"
