Mark 12:35-37

Common English Bible

Jesus corrects the legal experts

³⁵ While Jesus was teaching in the temple, he said, “Why do the legal experts say that the Christ is David’s son? ³⁶ David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said, The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right side until I turn your enemies into your footstool.’^{[a] 37} David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ so how can he be David’s son?” The large crowd listened to him with delight.
