God of Jacob. (38)For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living;
for to him all live.

(39)And some of the scribes answering said: Teacher, thou saidst well.
(40)For they no longer dared to ask him any question.

(41)And he said to them: How say they that the Christ is son of David?
(42)And David himself says in the book of Psalms:

(44)David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?

(45)And in the hearing of all the multitude, he said to his disciples:
