ISB ~ Luke 20 v41

David’s son?:The greatness of David was proverbial in the OT. He was the ideal king of Israel by whom all others were measured.

• Jesus uses the OT to challenge a mistaken assumption that even the Messiah would be inferior to David. On the contrary, David himself calls the Messiah his superior “Lord” in Ps 110:1 (20:42; Acts 2:34-36). See note on Mk 12:36.
