Matthew 22:35-46 (Gospel)
- 35
- Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
- 36
- “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
- 37
- Jesus said to him, “’You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
- 38
- This is the first and great commandment.
- 39
- And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
- 40
- On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
- 41
- While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
- 42
- saying, “What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of David.”
- 43
- He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
- 44
- ‘The LORD said to my Lord, sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool’?
- 45
- If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his Son?”
- 46
- And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.
