Matthew 22:42
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
“What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
43 Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
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.
