Luke 20:44
Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
BSB
ASV
David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
KJV
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
Third, as regards the apparent controversy of both, he adds: David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son? For it is impossible to say that according to his human nature Christ was the lord of David, because Christ was not yet born …
We must believe then that Christ is both God and man, and that His enemies are made subject to Him by the Father, not through the weakness of His power, but through the unity of their nature, since in the one the other works. For the Son also subjects enemies to the Father, in that He glorifies the Father upon earth. (John 17:6.)

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Luke (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1858)
Let us observe in this passage — what striking testimony to Christ's divinity, the book of Psalms contains. We read that after patiently replying to the attacks of His enemies, our Lord in turn propounds a question to them. He asks them to explain an expression in the hundred and tenth Psalm, where David speaks of the Messiah as his Lord. To this question the Scribes could find no answer.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
