Luke 20:42

And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son? For the exposition, see the notes at Mark 12:35....

39-47 The scribes commended the reply Christ made to the Sadducees about the resurrection, but they were silenced by a question concerning the Messiah. Christ, as God, was David's Lord; but Christ, as man, was David's son. The scribes would receive the severest judgement for defrauding the poor widows, and for their abuse of religion, particularly of prayer, which they used as a pretence for carrying on worldly and wicked plans. Dissembled piety is double sin. Then let us beg of God to keep us from pride, ambition, covetousness, and every evil thing; and to teach us to seek that honour which comes from him alone....

EXPOSITION LUKE 20:1 _Question of the priests and scribes as to the nature of the authority under which Jesus was acting._ LUKE 20:1, LUKE 20:2 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT ON ONE OF THOSE DAYS, AS HE TAUGHT THE PEOPLE IN THE TEMPLE, AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL. We are now in the midst of the so-called Passion week. Probably the events related in this chapter took place on the Tuesday. The first day of the week, Palm Sunday, was the day of the public entry into the city. The purification of the temple took place on the Monday, on which day also the barren fig tree was cursed. We are now considering the eve

AND DAVID HIMSELF SAITH IN THE BOOK PSALMS,.... In Psalms 110:1 THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, SIT THOU ON MY RIGHT HAND; which words were delivered by David, as inspired by the Spirit of God; and contain a speech of God the Father to his son Jesus Christ, upon his ascension to heaven, after his sufferings, death, and resurrection from the dead; when he was bid to sit down in human nature, at the right hand of God, in token of having done his work on earth to full satisfaction; and in the relation of which David calls Christ his Lord; and is the reason of their being mentioned....

CHAPTER 20 _ 1. His Authority Demanded and His Answer.(Luke 20:1)_ 2. Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen. (Luke 20:9) 3. Question about Tribute to Caesar. (Luke 20:20) 4. The Question Concerning Resurrection. (Luke 20:27) 5. The Question Christ Asked. (Luke 20:41) 6. Beware of the Scribes! (Luke 20:45 .) The events in this chapter are found in both Matthew's and Mark's Gospels. The parable of the vineyard foretells His death. He is the so

IS MESSIAH DAVID'S SON? (Mark 12:35 *, Matthew 22:41 *). Lk.'s version is the shortest of the three. It is not thoroughly clear that Jesus implies that Messiah is not descended from David (note His acceptance of the title Son of David, Luke 18:38). He may have meant simply that the common opinion of the Scribes needed explanation. Spitta connects Luke 20:41 with Luke 20:36, and finds in the difficulty about David and the Messiah a parallel to the difficulty about the wife in the Resurrection. The solution is that in descent Messiah is David's son, but in the com

DAVID HIMSELF SAITH, &c. Considering that theLord spoke only what the Father gave Him to speak (Deuteronomy 18:18; Deuteronomy 18:19; John 7:16; John 8:28; John 12:49; John 14:10; John 14:24; John 17:8; John 17:14), it is perilousl
