Mk 12:32-37

32The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, ‘He is One and there is no other than he.’ 33And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”^l 34And when Jesus saw that [he] answered with understanding, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to ask him any more questions.^m

The Question About David’s Son.^* 35As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said,ⁿ “How do the scribes claim that the Messiah is the son of David? 36David himself, inspired by the holy Spirit, said:

‘The Lord said to my lord,

“Sit at my right hand

until I place your enemies under your feet.”’^o

37David himself calls him ‘lord’; so how is he his son?” [The] great crowd heard this with delight.
