Matthew 22:34-46 ▼

34 And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.

35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:

36 “Teacher {Didaskale}, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?

37 Jesus declared, “‘Love {Agapēseis} the Lord {kyrion} your God {Theon} with all your heart and with all your soul {psychē} and with all your mind .’

38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘Love {Agapēseis} your neighbor as yourself .’

40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus (YHWH saves) questioned them:

42 “What do you⁺ think about the Christ (the Anointed One)? Whose son is He? “David’s, they answered.

43 Jesus said to them, “How then does David (beloved) in the Spirit {Pneumati} call Him ‘Lord {Kyrion}’? For he says:

44 ‘The Lord {Kyrios} said to my Lord {Kyriō}, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet .”’

45 So if David (beloved) calls Him ‘Lord {Kyrion},’ how can He be David’s son?

46 No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
