Is Messiah David's Son? (Mark 12:35-37 *, Matthew 22:41-46 *). Lk.'s version is the shortest of the three. It is not thoroughly clear that Jesus implies that Messiah is not descended from David (note His acceptance of the title Son of David, Luke 18:38). He may have meant simply that the common opinion of the Scribes needed explanation. Spitta connects Luke 20:41 with Luke 20:36, and finds in the difficulty about David and the Messiah a parallel to the difficulty about the wife in the Resurrection. The solution is that in descent Messiah is David's son, but in the coming age (that world), where physical relationships are abrogated, the Messiah will be David's Lord.
Luke 20:45-47. Condemnation of Scribes. Almost identical with Mark 12:38-40 *; much expanded in Matthew 23*.
