Mark 12:35

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.

They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,

All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David?”

Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders, and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”

He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the princes of Judah: for out of you shall come a governor, who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’ ”

While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.

“Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord Yahweh has sent me with his Spirit.

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.

Yahweh said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”

Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.

I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness. I didn’t say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I, Yahweh, speak righteousness. I declare things that are right.

“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he will reign as king and deal wisely, and will execute justice and righteousness in the land.

Now all this has happened that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

When they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.

How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.

But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.

The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

When evening came, he went out of the city.

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”

He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me has an end.”

He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’

Salma the father of Bethlehem, and Hareph the father of Beth Gader.

I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:

Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:

She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:

“Stand in the gate of Yahweh’s house, and proclaim this word there, and say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship Yahweh.’ ”

“Yahweh says: ‘Stand in the court of Yahweh’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yahweh’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit a word.

As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”

“Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.

If therefore they tell you, ‘Behold, he is in the wilderness,’ don’t go out; or ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ don’t believe it.

He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.”

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,

He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.

They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

Every day Jesus was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.

But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,

of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
