+### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Lk20.41-47)
+
+After answering the Sadducees about the resurrection, the appropriateness of
+paying taxes, and not answering the question of His authority, Jesus poses a
+question of His own. It was well-known that the Messiah would come from David's
+line, but Jesus cites [Psalm 110:1](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ps110.1) which
+makes things difficult for a straightforward interpretation. Whenever the Old
+Testament is quoted in the New Testament, it uses the Greek translation called
+the Septuagint, or LXX. In some cases, our English translations of the Hebrew
+text can differ from what the Septuagint's translators did, but that is
+thankfully not the case here.
+
+However we do have to pay attention to who the "Lords" are in "The Lord said to
+my Lord". Most translations will have the first "Lord" in small caps, but maybe
+only in the book of Psalms and in regular font here in Luke. "<span
+style="font-variant-caps: small-caps">Lord</span>" in small caps indicates the
+covenant name of God, "Yahweh". (Some translations use "Yahweh" in the text
+now.) Because it was common practice to say the Hebrew word for "lord"
+(_adonai_) in place of Yahweh, the Septuagint used the Greek word for "lord"
+when translating Yahweh from Hebrew.
+
+Jesus's point is that David's psalm is clearly about the Messiah, who is
+supposed to be his descendant (as promised in 2 Samuel 7), and yet David calls
+his descendant "my Lord". Thus, the Messiah is a greater king than David was,
+contrary to popular opinion which thought He was going to be a king of the same
+nature.
+
+Now that everyone is pondering this question, Jesus condemns the self-serving,
+shallow scribes who love to have the attention of the people because of their
+lofty knowledge and skill. They are supposed to be concerned with teaching
+God's word to the people, but they pursue the blessings from the people more
+than the blessings from God. Because they have the greater responsibility of
+greater knowledge of the Scriptures, they receive a greater condemnation for
+their unrighteousness.
