<p>22:45&nbsp;<em>If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son?</em><i><br /></i>- The &ldquo;how&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t imply that David&rsquo;s Lord is not his son, but rather is a rhetorical question. How is the Messianic son of David, David&rsquo;s &ldquo;Lord&rdquo;, to be his son or descendant? Mk. 12:37 says the Lord reinforced the question by asking &ldquo;<em>From whence</em>&nbsp;is He his son?&rdquo;. The answer had to be: &lsquo;Through a woman in David&rsquo;s direct line giving birth to Him&rsquo;. And the questioners were fully aware that Jesus was in the direct line of Mary (see on :42&nbsp;<em>The Son of David</em>).</p>
