The title Son of David (Mark 12:35; Luke 20:41). A saying of Jesus from the oldest tradition, of great doctrinal importance. He declares Himself dissatisfied with the honourable title of Son of David, because He is in reality also David's Lord. By applying Psalms 110 to Himself He claims, (1) a seat at God's right hand; (2) lordship over all the human race; (3) an eternal priesthood and empire: 'Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.'

Matthew 22:41-46
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying,What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43 He saith unto them,How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
