JEWISH RULERS SEEK TO ENSNARE JESUS
(Court of the Temple. Tuesday, April 4, A. D. 30.)
Subdivision D. JESUS' QUESTION WHICH NONE COULD ANSWER
MATT. 22:41-46
MARK 12:35-37
LUKE 20:41-44

Summary:  After being asked many questions, Jesus asks them one of his own. The Fourfold Gospel asserts this was not in a malicious spirit but to provoke thought.  He asks,  “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “The son of David.” Matthew 22:42  This led into an inquiry of Psalm 110.

"The complexities of this theological discussion were too much for the Pharisees who were not ready to acknowledge the deity of this Son of David. No one… dared answer His question or debate points of practice or theology with Jesus. All His opponents had been silenced, including the chief priests and elders (Mat_21:23-27), the Pharisees and the Herodians together (Mat_22:15-22), the Sadducees (Mat_22:23-33), and the Pharisees (Mat_22:34-36)."-BKC

"Now Jesus posed the question, “If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?” The answer is that the Messiah is both David's Lord and David's Son—both God and Man. As God, He is David's Lord; as Man, He is David's Son." -Believer's Bible
