Mark 12:35-38 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

35. Jesus was teaching in the temple courtyard. He asked, "Why do the teachers of the law say that the Christ is the son of David?

36. The Holy Spirit spoke through David himself. David said, " 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control." ' (Psalm 110:1)

37. David himself calls him 'Lord.' So how can he be David's son?" The large crowd listened to Jesus with delight.

38. As he taught, he said, "Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in long robes. They like to be greeted in the market places.
