Mark 12:35-39 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

35. As Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he asked the question, “How can the teachers of the Law say that the Messiah will be the descendant of David?

36. The Holy Spirit inspired David to say: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit here on my right until I put your enemies under your feet.’

37. David himself called him ‘Lord’; so how can the Messiah be David's descendant?”A large crowd was listening to Jesus gladly.

38. As he taught them, he said, “Watch out for the teachers of the Law, who like to walk around in their long robes and be greeted with respect in the market place,

39. who choose the reserved seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts.
