Luke 20:41

The Messiah: David’s Son and Lord

20:41 But ⁶  he said to them, “How is it that they say that the Christ ⁷  is David’s son? ⁸ 

Luke 20:44

20:44 If David then calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” ⁹ 

[8:36]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[8:36]  ² tn Or “had been delivered”; Grk “had been saved.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation. They were only discussing the healing.

[10:26]  ³ tn Grk “How do you read?” The pronoun “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[12:50]  ⁵ sn The figure of the baptism is variously interpreted, as some see a reference (1) to martyrdom or (2) to inundation with God’s judgment. The OT background, however, suggests the latter sense: Jesus is about to be uniquely inundated with God’s judgment as he is rejected, persecuted, and killed (Ps 18:4, 16; 42:7; 69:1-2; Isa 8:7-8; 30:27-28; Jonah 2:3-6).

[12:50]  ⁶ tn Grk “to be baptized with.”

[20:41]  ⁷ sn If the religious leaders will not dare to question Jesus any longer, then he will question them.

[20:41]  ⁸ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[20:41]  ⁹ sn It was a common belief in Judaism that Messiah would be David’s son in that he would come from the lineage of David. On this point the Pharisees agreed and were correct. But their understanding was nonetheless incomplete, for Messiah is also David’s Lord. With this statement Jesus was affirming that, as the Messiah, he is both God and man.

[20:44]  ⁹ tn Grk “David thus calls him ‘Lord.’ So how is he his son?” The conditional nuance, implicit in Greek, has been made explicit in the translation (cf. Matt 22:45).
