³⁵ Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

⁴¹ He said to them, "Why do they say that the Christ is David's son?

⁴² David himself says in the book of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,

⁴³ Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet."'

⁴⁴ "David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?"

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

⁴⁷ He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

⁴³ He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

⁴⁴ 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, Until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?'

⁴⁵ "If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?"

²⁷ As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David!"
