SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:43
El les dice: ¿Pues cmo David en Espíritu lo llama Seor, diciendo:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:43
Verse 43. How then doth David in spirit (or by the Spirit-by the inspiration of the Spirit of God) call him Lord? saying,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 43. He saith unto them , etc.] Not denying it to be a truth they affirmed; but rather granting and allowing it: he argues upon it, though he tacitly refuses their sense and meaning of the phrase, thus, how then doth David in spirit call him Lord ? that is, if he is a mere man, if he is only the son of David, according to the flesh, if he has no other, or higher descent than from him, how comes it to pass, that David, under the inspiration of the Spirit of God, by which he wrote his book of Psalms, (see 2 Samuel 23:1,2) where the passage, after cited, stands, to call him Lord; which supposes him to be more than barely his son, and to be a greater person than himself, one superior in nature and dignity to him? for the phrase in spirit, is not to be connected with the word Lord; as if the design of it was to show, that the Messiah was Lord, or God, in spirit, or with respect to his divine nature, but, with the word call, expressing the influence of the Spirit of God, under which David wrote; otherwise the Pharisees would have had a direction how to have answered the question, which much puzzled them: saying , as in ( <19B001> Psalm 110:1).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 41-46 - When Christ baffled his enemies, he asked what thoughts they had of the promised Messiah? How he could be the Son of David and yet his Lord? He quotes Ps 110:1. If the Christ was to be a mere man, who would no exist till many ages after David's death, how could his forefather cal him Lord? The Pharisees could not answer it. Nor can any solve the difficulty except he allows the Messiah to be the Son of God, an David's Lord equally with the Father. He took upon him human nature and so became God manifested in the flesh; in this sense he is the So of man and the Son of David. It behoves us above all things seriousl to inquire, "What think we of Christ?" Is he altogether glorious in ou eyes, and precious to our hearts? May Christ be our joy, ou confidence, our all. May we daily be made more like to him, and mor devoted to his service __________________________________________________________________
