+ Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark 12: 35 – 37
As Jesus was teaching in the temple area he said, "How do the scribes claim that the Messiah is the son of David? David 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." 'David himself calls him 'lord'; so how is he his son?"
The great crowd heard this with delight.
