Mark 12:36-38
EasyEnglish Bible
36 The Holy Spirit helped David himself to say:[a]
“The Lord God said to my Lord:
Sit at my right side until I win against your enemies.
The you will be able to put your feet on them.”[b]
37 In these words, David himself calls the Messiah his Lord. So can you really say that the Messiah is David's son?’[c]
The large crowd liked to listen to the things that Jesus was saying. It made them happy.
38 As Jesus was teaching the people, he said, ‘Be careful not to do the same as the teachers of God's Law. They want people to think that they are important. So they walk about in beautiful long clothes. They like people to praise them in the market place.
