He gives an example using a question about the Messiah. The scribes could not answer some deep questions about the Old Testament, even though they were supposed to explain it. Jesus wants people to look for answers about himself from him directly, not just from religious teachers. v. 35 : The scribes taught that the Messiah would be the Son of David (Mark 12:35 ). This was true, because the Messiah would come from David’s family and would sit on David’s throne (Luke 1:32 ).

‏ Mark 12:35

Christ the Son and Lord of David.

In this section, Jesus teaches in the temple and shows the people how the scribes do not fully understand the Scriptures. He gives an example using a question about the Messiah. The scribes could not answer some deep questions about the Old Testament, even though they were supposed to explain it. Jesus wants people to look for answers about himself from him directly, not just from religious teachers.

v. 35: The scribes taught that the Messiah would be the Son of David (Mark 12:35 ^a). This was true, because the Messiah would come from David’s family and would sit on David’s throne (Luke 1:32 ^b). But the people often just repeated what the scribes said, instead of studying the Scriptures for themselves. Jesus wants us to go to God’s Word as the source of truth.
