12:35 {5} And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
(5) Christ proves his Godhead even out of David himself, from whom he came according to the flesh.
12:35-37 How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? See notes on Mt 22:41-46.
12:35 Mt 22:41; Lu 20:41.
12:35-40 When we attend to what the Scriptures declare, as to the person and offices of Christ, we shall be led to confess him as our Lord and God; to obey him as our exalted Redeemer. If the common people hear these things gladly, while the learned and distinguished oppose, the former are happy, and the latter to be pitied. And as sin, disguised with a show of piety, is double iniquity, so its doom will be doubly heavy.
