Luke 20:42

⁴⁰ And they did not dare to question Him any further.

⁴¹ 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

⁴³ until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

⁴⁴ Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
