Mark 12:34-36

The Voice

³⁴Jesus heard that the man had spoken with wisdom.

Jesus: Well said; if you understand that, then the kingdom of God is closer than you think.

Nobody asked Jesus any more questions after that.

³⁵Later Jesus was teaching in the temple.

Jesus: Why do the scribes say that the Anointed One is the son of David? ³⁶In the psalms, David himself was led by the Holy Spirit to sing,

    The Master said to my master,
        “Sit at My right hand,
        in the place of power and honor,
    And I will gather Your enemies together,
        lead them in on hands and knees,
        and You will rest Your feet on their backs.”^[a]
