22:28 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.” ¹ 

Matthew 22:42

22:42 “What do you think about the Christ? ²  Whose son is he?” They said, “The son of David.” ³

¹ tn Grk “For all had her.”

² tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

sn See the note on Christ in 1:16.

³ sn It was a common belief in Judaism that Messiah would be the son of David in that he would come from the lineage of David. On this point the Pharisees agreed and were correct. But their understanding was nonetheless incomplete, for Messiah is also David’s Lord. With this statement Jesus was affirming that, as the Messiah, he is both God and man.
