34 But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced [the objections of] the Sadducees, they gathered together [i.e., to continue plotting against Jesus. See verse 15].
35 One of them, a teacher of the law of Moses, asked Him a question [in an attempt] to test Him.
36 “Teacher, which one is the greatest commandment in the law of Moses?” he asked.
37 Jesus replied, [Deut. 6:5] “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 This is the foremost and greatest commandment.
39 A second one, similar to it is [Lev. 19:18], ‘You must love your neighbor the same way that you love yourself.’
40 The entire law of Moses and the prophets hinge on these two commandments.”
41 Now while the Pharisees were assembled together, Jesus asked them this question,
42 “What do you think about the Christ [i.e., God’s specially chosen one]? Whose son do you think He is?” They replied, “[He is] the son of David.”
43 He said to them, “How is it [then] that David, by [inspiration of] the Holy Spirit, calls Him Lord, saying,
44 [Psa. 110:1] ‘The Lord [i.e., God] said to my [i.e., David’s] Lord [i.e., Jesus], sit at my right side until I put your enemies [in full subjection] beneath your feet.’
45 If David then could call Him [i.e., Jesus] Lord, how could He be his son?”
46 No one was able to answer [Jesus’ reasoning] with [so much as] a word, and no one dared to ask Him any more questions from that day onward.
