Mark 12:35-40

New American Standard Bible

^35 (A)And Jesus responded and began saying, as He ^(B)taught in the temple area, “How is it that the scribes say that the ^[a]Christ is the ^(C)son of David? ³⁶ David himself said ^[b]in the Holy Spirit,

³⁷ David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?” And ^(E)the large crowd ^[c]enjoyed listening to Him.

^38 (F)And in His teaching He was saying: “Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like ^(G)personal greetings in the marketplaces, ³⁹ and seats of honor in the synagogues, and places of honor at banquets, ^40 (H)who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive all the more condemnation.”
