Contradiction with Psalms 110:1
Luke 20:42 itself references this verse, yet in Psalms, David speaks directly, whereas in Luke, Jesus interprets David's words differently.
Psalms 110:1: [A Psalm of David.] The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Contradiction with Matthew 22:44
Similar scenario as Luke 20:42; Jesus cites the same passage but does so to question why the Messiah would be David's son.
Matthew 22:44: If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Contradiction with Mark 12:36
Same citation but the context differs; Jesus uses it to challenge the religious leaders' understanding.
Mark 12:36: For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Contradiction with Acts 2:34
Refers to David not ascending into the heavens, providing a contrast to the interpretation of the Messiah's position.
Acts 2:34: For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Paradox #1
One potential contradiction is the question of how Jesus can be both David’s descendant and his Lord. This stems from the claim that the Messiah is a descendant of David, yet the verse implies a superiority or distinct identity of the Messiah over David, raising questions about the nature and lineage of Jesus.
