³⁹Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”⁴⁰And they did not dare to question Him any further.

Summary

In Luke 20:40, Jesus poses a question to the scribes about the identity of the Messiah, challenging their understanding of the Scriptures. This verse reveals Jesus' wisdom and authority as He navigates through religious debates with profound insight. By questioning the common belief about the Messiah being the son of David, Jesus prompts deeper reflection on the true nature of the promised Savior. His question serves as a teaching moment to point towards His divine nature and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in Him.
