Mark 12:38 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 12:38

36 For David himself said ^aby the Holy Spirit:
^b‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

37 Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his ^aSon?” And the common people heard Him gladly.

38 Then ^aHe said to them in His teaching, ^b“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, ^clove greetings in the marketplaces,

39 the ^abest seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,

40 ^awho devour widows’ houses, and¹ for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
