Mark 12:35-38 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

35. Jesus was teaching in the Temple area. He asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David?

36. With the help of the Holy Spirit, David himself says, ‘The Lord God said to my Lord: Sit by me at my right side, and I will put your enemies under your control.’ Psalm 110:1

37. David himself calls the Messiah ‘Lord.’ So how can the Messiah be David’s son?” Many people listened to Jesus and were very pleased.

38. Jesus continued teaching. He said, “Be careful of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around wearing clothes that look important. And they love for people to show respect to them in the marketplaces.
