# General Information:
Jesus quotes from the Psalms to show that the Christ is more than just "the son of David."
# How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord
Jesus uses a question to make the religious leaders think deeply about the Psalm he is about to quote. Alternate translation: "Then, tell me why David in the Spirit calls him Lord" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
# David in the Spirit
"David, whom the Holy Spirit is inspiring." This means the Holy Spirit is influencing what David says.
# call him
Here "him" refers to the Christ, who is also the descendant of David.
