Mark

Mark 12:35–37

³⁵While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts,ⁱ He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? ³⁶Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared:

‘The Lord said to my Lord,

“Sit at My right hand

until I put Your enemies

under Your feet.”’^j

³⁷David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.
