Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Luke 20:41

_ _ Luke 20:41-47. Christ baffles the Pharisees by a question about David and Messiah, and denounces the Scribes.

_ _ said, etc. — “What think ye of Christ [the promised and expected Messiah]? Whose son is He [to be]? They say unto Him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit [by the Holy Ghost, Mark 12:36] call Him Lord?” (Matthew 22:42, Matthew 22:43). The difficulty can only be solved by the higher and lower — the divine and human natures of our Lord (Matthew 1:23). Mark the testimony here given to the inspiration of the Old Testament (compare Luke 24:44).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Luke 20:39-47.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes
Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Luke 20:41

(5) And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

(5) Even though Christ is the son of David according to the flesh he is also his Lord (because he is the everlasting Son of God) according to the spirit.
