Matthew:22:34-46

*
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence ,
they were gathered together .
*
Then one of them ,
which was a lawyer ,
asked him a question ,
tempting him ,
and saying ,
*
Master ,
which is the great commandment in the law ?
*
Jesus said unto him ,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart ,
and with all thy soul ,
and with all thy mind .
*
This is the first and great commandment .
*
And the second is like unto it ,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself .
*
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets .
*
While the Pharisees were gathered together ,
Jesus asked them ,
*
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 .
