Mark 12:35–40

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • 1A. 35a And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,
    • 1B. 35b How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
      • 1C. 36a For David himself said by the Holy Ghost,
        • 1D. 36b The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
      • 1C'. 37a David therefore himself calleth him Lord;
    • 1B'. 37b and whence is he then his son?
  • 1A'. 37c And the common people heard him gladly.
  • 2A. 38a And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes,
    • 2B. 38b–39 which love to walk 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:
  • 2A'. 40 these shall receive greater damnation.
