Mark 12:35-37

David’s Son and Lord

35 And continuing, Jesus said [while] teaching in the temple [courts], "How can the scribes say that the Christ is David's son?

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

37 David himself calls him 'Lord,' and how is he his son?" And the large crowd was listening to him gladly.
