20:41-44 Whose Son Is the Christ? How can they say that the Christ is David's son? Jesus answers his own question: Scripture teaches that Jesus is more than David's son. Jesus quotes Ps. 110:1: David . . . says . . . The Lord (the God of Israel) said to my Lord (the Messiah). See note on Mark 12:35-37. Sit at my right hand. The Lord (Messiah) is given the place of honor. See note on Matt. 22:41-46. Since David calls the Messiah his Lord, how is he his son? (that is, how can Jesus be only David's son?). The Messiah is, in fact, greater than his father David, and thus David calls him Lord (see note on Matt. 22:41-46).
