‏ Mark 12:35-37

Summary for Mark 12:35-37: 12:35-37  a After having answered various questions, mostly from opponents, Jesus now asked a question (see 8:27  b; Matt 17:25  c; 21:31  d; Luke 10:36  e). The Messiah was considered the son of David because of such passages as Isa 9:2-7  f; 11:1-5  g; Jer 23:5-6  h; 33:15-16  i; Ezek 34:23-24  j; 37:24-28  k. With his question, Jesus did not deny that the Messiah was a descendant of David (Mark 10:47-48  l; 11:10  m; see Rom 1:3-4  n), but he demonstrated that this description, while correct, is inadequate. The Messiah is far more!
12:36-37  o Psalm 110:1  p is the Old Testament verse most quoted in the New Testament. Since David authored the psalm, the statement “The Lord [God] said to my [David’s] Lord [the Messiah]” indicates that the Messiah is David’s Lord. Thus, the Messiah could not simply be David’s son. He is the Son of God who sits at God’s right hand (Mark 14:62  q) and will come to judge the world (8:38  r; 13:24-27  s, 32-37  t).
