Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David, He saith unto them How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?" If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
St. Matthew 22: 42-46
