Mark 12:35-37 MWT
35 However, answering, Jesus began to say as he taught in the temple: "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is David's son? 36 By the holy spirit David himself said, 'Jehovah said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies beneath your feet."' [Psalm 110:1] 37 David himself calls him 'Lord,' so how is it that he is David's son?" And the great crowd was listening to him with pleasure.
If you know Christ Jesus, you gladly hear his words and understand what he said at Mark 12:35-37. Jesus is David's son (Mat 1:1) because David is an ancestor of both Joseph and Mary. Jesus is also David's lord because Jehovah resurrected him and appointed him as lord of all the earth. (Eph 1:19-21 ; Mat 28:18 ; 1 Cor 15:24-28) Thus, David will also be subject to Christ when he is resurrected. Christ is also call "the Son of man" because he is "the seed of the woman." (Gen 3:15) Actually, the Son of God has many titles.

[Psalm 110:1] (37) If David called the Messiah his Lord, how can the Messiah be his son?" The large crowd enjoyed listening to Jesus teach.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us.
