The Messiahship of Jesus
At the Temple court in Jerusalem, on the Tuesday before his Passion, Jesus questions the Pharisees about the identity of the Messiah. Citing Psalm 110, he reveals that the Messiah is both Son of David according to the flesh and eternal Lord according to his divinity, confounding his opponents, who are left without an answer. A fundamental Christological statement about the dual nature of Jesus.
Mark 12.38-40 (King James Version) :And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
