Truth from the high priest
Musterseed:
Thankyou Octoberose, I stand corrected . I always thought that the Pharisees knew Jesus was from God. It’s good to learn from those who have a good understanding of scripture . I study four hours a day and it’s very hard but amazing nevertheless. It’s all so mind boggling, sometimes I have to pinch myself. Have a wonderful evening my friend. Back to reading 📖. Pamela

Oh here I am again. I need help with this if you don’t mind.
Matt.22:41,,, Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question 42-
saying” What do you think about the Christ?Whose Son is He? They said to Him” the son of David.
43- He said to them.”How is it then that David, in the spirit calls Him Lord saying” 44-the Lord said to my Lord “sit at my right hand while I put all your enemies under your feet.45-If then David calls Him Lord, how is he his son? 46-And no one was to answer Him a word, nor from that day did
anyone dare to ask Him anymore questions.
Psalm 110:1,,,The Lord said to my Lord”sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool.
Does this mean that Jesus is saying that He is David’s son and also his Lord and God?
That he can be both flesh and spirit. Did the Pharisees expect their Messiah to be a man like them?
Thanks , any help is greatly appreciated. Pamela

--- End quote ---
Jesus further confuses the scribes and
Pharisees by asking them to explain the meaning of this very title: how could it be that the Messiah is the son of David when David himself refers to Him as “my Lord” (Mark 12:35–37; cf. Psalm 110:1)? The teachers of the Law couldn’t answer the question. Jesus thereby exposed the Jewish leaders’ ineptitude as teachers and their ignorance of what the Old Testament taught as to the true nature of the Messiah, further alienating them from Him.
Jesus’ point in asking the question of Mark 12:35 was that the Messiah is more than the physical son of David. If He is David’s Lord, He must be greater than David. As Jesus says in Revelation 22:16, “I am the Root and the Offspring of David.” That is, He is both the Creator of David and the Descendant of David. Only the Son of God made flesh could say that.
wat:
The Pharisees did know Jesus was from God.
John 3:1-2
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.”
Musterseed:
Wanda and Loc, thank you so much, I love learning about our Lord, He is spiritually creating
us, carnal humans into the image of Christ, which is many things but mostly LOVE.
How awesome is that. Bless His Holy Name , All Praise and Glory to Lord Jesus Christ.
Pamela❤️
