'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
33
And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
34
But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
35
Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying,
36
"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
37
Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
38
This is the first and great commandment.
39
And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
40
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."
41
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42
saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They said to Him, "The Son of David."
43
He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying:
44
'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool" '?
45
"If David then calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his Son?"
46
And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore.
