Mark 12:35-37

Whose Son Is the Christ?

35 ¹And as ²Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that ³the Christ is the son of David?

36 David himself, ⁴in the Holy Spirit, declared, ⁵"'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies ⁶under your feet.'

37 David himself calls him Lord. So ⁷how is he his son?" And the great throng ⁸heard him gladly.
