39 And some of the scribes, in answer to this, said, Master, you have said well. 40 And they had fear of putting any more questions to him. 41 And he said to them, Why do they say that the Christ is the son of David? 42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Take your seat at my right hand, 43 Till I put under your feet all those who are against you. 44 David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son? 45 And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples, 46 Keep away from the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes, and to have words of respect said to them in the market-places, and to take the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts; 47 Who take the property of widows and before the eyes of men make long prayers; they will get a greater punishment.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto them,.... The Ethiopic version reads, "to the Pharisees"; and so it appears, that it was to them he spoke, from Matthew 22:41
how say they? The Syriac version reads, "how say the Scribes?" as in Mark 12:35 and the Persic version, how say the wise men, the doctors in Israel,
that Christ is David's son? that which nothing was more common among the Jews.
