This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint.

How can the messiah be David’s descendant?

Luke 20:41–44

Mark 12:35–37

Mat 22:41–46

41 Then Yeshua asked them, “How can the experts say that the messiah is a descendant of King David? 42 Because David said in his songs:[ref]

‘Yahweh said to my master,

Sit here on my right

43 until I cause your enemies to be defeated.’

44 So if David calls the messiah his master, how can he also be his descendant?”


35 Later when Yeshua was teaching in the temple, he asked the people, “How is it that the teachers here say that the messiah is a descendant of King David? 36 Because David himself said under the inspiration of the holy spirit,[ref]

‘The master told my master,

“Sit there in the position of honour

until I can conquer your enemies.” ’

37 If David calls the messiah his master, how can the messiah possibly be David’s descendant?”

The large crowd was very interested to hear everything that Yeshua had to say.


41 Since all from the Pharisees’ party were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question, 42 “How do you interpret the scriptures about the messiah? Who will he be a descendant of?”

“A descendant of King David,” they answered.

43 “Then how could David,” he continued, “under the inspiration of God’s spirit, call him ‘master’ when he said,

44 ‘Yahweh said to my master:[ref]

“Sit there on my right

until I conquer your enemies.”

45 So if David is calling him ‘master’, how could he be his descendant?”

46 No one was able to answer his question, and after that day they didn’t dare ask him anything else.
