This is the record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:
While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet."' David himself calls Him 'Lord.' So how can He be David's son?" And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.
While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them: "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?" "David's," they answered.

So if David calls Him 'Lord,' how can He be David's son?"
Then Jesus declared, "How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David? For David himself says in the book of Psalms: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."' Thus David calls Him 'Lord.' So how can He be David's son?"
Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne. Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay. God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses. Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."' Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!"
