Whose Son is the Messiah? As Jesus was teachings the people in the Temple, He asked, “why do the teachers of religious law claim that the Messiah is the son of David?

Mark 12:35-40 For David himself, said under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, said, The God said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. ³⁷ Since David called him his Lord, how can the Messiah be his son?” ( This sort of reasoning delighted the crowd and they listened to him with great interest.)

³⁸ Jesus also taught: “Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they love to wear the robes of the rich and scholarly, and to have everyone bow to them as they walk through the market places. ³⁹ They love to sit in the best seats in the synagogues, and at the places of honor at banquets, ⁴⁰ but they shamelessly cheat widows out of their homes and then, to cover up the kind of men they really are, they pretend to be pious by praying long prayers in public. Because of this, their punishment will be the greatest.” Amen
