Commentary on Mark 12:35

Theological / Devotional

While he taught. [Jesus Silences His Critics, Mark 12:35–37=Matt. 22:41–46=Luke 20:41–44. Major comment: Matthew.] Only Mark notes that Jesus was still teaching in the Temple.

How say the scribes? Another detail only in Mark. Jesus notes that the scribes acclaim the Messiah as the Son of David, as preliminary to once again calling attention to Himself as the true Messiah.
