Matthew22:42
What think ye Of Christ? What are your views respecting THE MESSIAH, or the Christ, especially respecting his genealogy? He did not ask them their views respecting him in general, but only respecting his ancestry. The article should have been retained in the translation--the Christ, or the Messiah. He did not ask them their opinion respecting himself, his person, and work, as would seem in our translation; but their views respecting the Messiah whom they expected.
Whose son is he? Whose descendant? Mt 1:1.
The son of David. The descendant of David, according to the promise.
(n) "What think ye" Mk 12:35, Lk 20:41
