Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Mark 12:37

_ _ David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? — There is but one solution of this difficulty. Messiah is at once inferior to David as his son according to the flesh, and superior to him as the Lord of a kingdom of which David is himself a subject, not the sovereign. The human and divine natures of Christ, and the spirituality of His kingdom — of which the highest earthly sovereigns are honored if they be counted worthy to be its subjects — furnish the only key to this puzzle.

_ _ And the common people — the immense crowd.

_ _ heard him gladly — “And no man was able to answer Him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth ask Him any more questions” (Matthew 22:46).
