Matthew 22:34-46

Twentieth_Century(i) 34 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they collected together. 35 Then one of them, a Student of the Law, to test him, asked this question-- 36 "Teacher, what is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 His answer was: "'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy Heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.' 38 This is the great first commandment. 39 The second, which is like it, is this--'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thou dost thyself.' 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." 41 Before the Pharisees separated, Jesus put this question to them-- 42 "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "David's," they said. 43 "How is it, then," Jesus replied, "that David, speaking under inspiration, calls him 'lord,' in the passage- 44 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand, Until I put thy enemies beneath thy feet"'? 45 Since, then, David calls him 'lord,' how is he David's son?" 46 No one could say a word in answer; nor did any one after that day venture to question him further.
