The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:34-37

Various effects of Christ's ministry. There was a vigor and directness, an unsparing boldness and fidelity, peculiar to the ministry of our Lord in Jerusalem during the last week of his life. This no doubt precipitated the crisis, enraging his enemies at the same time that it silenced their reasonings. Two remarks are made by the evangelist which show us what was the effect of Christ's discourses and conversations both upon his foes and upon the multitude. I. HIS ENEMIES WERE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:35

Our Lord was now in the temple, and he took the opportunity for instructing the scribes and Pharisees concerning his person and his dignity. Thus, as ever, he returned good for evil. He here taught them that the Messiah was not a mere man, as they supposed, but that he was i both God and man, and that therefore they ought not to wonder or to be offended because he called himself the Son of God. St. Matthew ( Matthew 22:42 ) more fully gives their answer first, namely, that "Christ is the Son... read more

Great David's greater Son, I. UNSPIRITUAL INTERPRETERS OF SCRIPTURE ARE INVOLVED IN INCONSISTENCY AND SELF - CONTRADICTION , 1 . In the present instance they proved to be so with respect to the most important truths. It is only the spiritual mind that can harmonize the apparent discrepancies of revelation ( 1 Corinthians 2:14 ; cf. Hebrews 5:12 , seq.). 2 . This results in their cure loss and injury ( 1 Peter 3:16 ). They failed to recognize the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:35-37

David's Son. I. David's prophetic spirit. "He was moved by the spirit of truth when he foretold that his son would rule over all, and when he owned him as Lord." The psalm had originally another bearing. But as all true poesy "smacks of something greater than it seems," and has deeper meanings than meet the eye, so did the words of the psalmist reach forth into remoter times and higher relations. II. Christ's identification. "He declared that he was the Son of David, and that his... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 22:41-46 ; Luke 20:41-44 .— The counter-question of our Lord. I. QUESTION OF OUR LORD IN TURN . Our Lord had by this time been asked, and had triumphantly answered, the most perplexing, difficult, and delicate questions that the ingenuity of man could devise. His adversaries had been signally confuted, and covered with shame. These questions were five in all One concerned his authority; another was political, about the tribute money; the third... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:35-40

The scribes. The profession of scribes, which had existed among the Jews ever since the Captivity, was in itself an honorable and useful profession. And there were members of this learned body who came into contact with the Lord Jesus who showed a candid disposition, a love of the truth, and who evinced respect and admiration for the great Rabbi. Yet some of the most bitter and virulent of our Lord's enemies were of this class. Their superiority to the people was a snare as well as an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:36

The Lord said unto my Lord . From this verse ( Psalms 110:1-7 .) our Lord shows that the Messiah, such as he was, was not a mere man, as the Pharisees thought, but that he was God, and therefore David's Lord. The meaning, therefore, is this, "The Lord God said to my Lord," that is, Christ, "Sit thou at my right hand," that is, when, after his cross, his death, and his resurrection, he will exalt him far above all principality and power, and place him next to him in heaven, that he may... read more

"The common people heard him gladly." I.

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 12:38-39

These verses are a condensation of the woes recorded at length by St. Matthew ( Matthew 23:1-39 .). And he said unto them in his doctrine ( ἐν τῇ διδαχῇ αὑτοῦ )—literally, in his teaching— Beware of the scribes which desire ( τῶν θελόντων ) to walk in long robes ( ἐν στολαῖς ). The στόλη was a rich robe which reached down to the ankles, and was adorned with fringes. The scribes took pleasure in this kind of display. The salient points in their character were... read more

Traits of the scribe. I. THE SEEMING GOOD OFTEN TH RI VE AND ARE HONORED. Insight into character is rare; men are judged by the outside, and are taken largely at their own valuation. II. Pretension ever hides emptiness, and often guilt. Fixed for ever for our repugnance, hatred, and contempt is the character of the religious pretender in the Gospel. Men need to be warned that there is more danger to the soul in pretending to a piety we have not got, than in merely having none... read more
