John Gill Commentary Luke 20:41

"And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David`s son?" — Luke 20:41 (ASV)

And he said to 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.
