Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And no one was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions." — Matthew 22:46 (ASV)
If the Pharisees could have denied that the Psalm had reference to the Messiah, it would have been easy for them to reply to Christ’s question; but no one was able to answer Him a word. The Rabbis of our Savior's day admitted that this was one of the Messianic Psalms, without recognizing what their admission involved; in later times, as at the present day, false teachers sought to wrest it from its proper meaning.
Christ’s questions silenced His adversaries in a double sense. First, they could not answer Him a word, and next, neither dared anyone from that day on ask Him any more questions. He remained Master of the field. They could not entrap or entangle Him in His talk. If they would put Him to silence, they must do it by putting Him to death.
