SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:41
Y l les dijo: ¿Cmo dicen que el Cristo es hijo de David?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 20:41
Verse 41. How say they] See the note on Matt. xxii. 42-46.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 41. And he said unto them , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 39-47 - The scribes commended the reply Christ made to the Sadducees about the resurrection, but they were silenced by a question concerning the Messiah. Christ, as God, was David's Lord; but Christ, as man, wa David's son. The scribes would receive the severest judgement for defrauding the poor widows, and for their abuse of religion particularly of prayer, which they used as a pretence for carrying of worldly and wicked plans. Dissembled piety is double sin. Then let u beg of God to keep us from pride, ambition, covetousness, and ever evil thing; and to teach us to seek that honour which comes from his alone __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
20:41 {How say they?} (pws legousin;). The Pharisees had rallied in glee and one of their number, a lawyer, had made a feeble contribution to the controversy which resulted in his agreement with Jesus and in praise from Jesus (#Mr 12:28-34; Mt 27:34-40). Luke does not give this incident which makes it plain that by "they say" (legousin) Jesus refers to the Pharisees (rabbis, lawyers), carrying on the discussion and turning the tables on them while the Pharisees are still gathered together (#Mt 22:41). The construction with legousin is the usual infinitive and the accusative in indirect discourse. By "the Christ" (ton criston) "the Messiah" is meant.
