35 And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? 36 David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet. 37 David himself gives him the name of Lord; and how then is he his son? And the common people gave ear to him gladly.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 12:35-37
Commentary on Mark 12:35-40
(Read Mark 12:35-40)
When we attend to what the Scriptures declare, as to the person and offices of Christ, we shall be led to confess him as our Lord and God; to obey him as our exalted Redeemer. If the common people hear these things gladly, while the learned and distinguished oppose, the former are happy, and the latter to be pitied. And as sin, disguised with a show of piety, is double iniquity, so its doom will be doubly heavy.
