Markus 7:4
Konteks7:4 And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. They hold fast to many other traditions: the washing of cups, pots, kettles, and dining couches. 1 ) 2
Markus 12:36
Konteks12:36 David himself, by the Holy Spirit, said,
‘The Lord said to my lord, 3
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet.”’ 4
[7:4] 1 tc Several important witnesses (Ì45vid א B L Δ 28* pc) lack “and dining couches” (καὶ κλινῶν, kai klinwn), while the majority of
[7:4] 2 sn Verses 3-4 represent parenthetical remarks by the author, giving background information.
[12:36] 3 sn The Lord said to my Lord. With David being the speaker, this indicates his respect for his descendant (referred to as my Lord). Jesus was arguing, as the ancient exposition assumed, that the passage is about the Lord’s anointed. The passage looks at an enthronement of this figure and a declaration of honor for him as he takes his place at the side of God. In Jerusalem, the king’s palace was located to the right of the temple to indicate this kind of relationship. Jesus was pressing the language here to get his opponents to reflect on how great Messiah is.
