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,
‘(D)The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
