Mark 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost... (2024)

Mark 12:36 αὐτὸς Δαυεὶδ εἶπεν ἐν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἁγίῳ “ Εἶπεν Κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου:

Psa 110:1 ... εἶπεν ὁ κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου

αὐτὸς Δαυεὶδ εἶπεν ἐν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἁγίῳ “
himself, David, said in the spirit, the holy one,

Εἶπεν Κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου
"He said, Master, to that master of mine, 'Drop yourself down out from right, my

ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου:
until when I put those haters of yours under those feet of yours."

This refers to quote is Psalm 110. There are a number of word translation here that stretch the meaning of the original Greek to a point where most of the original meaning is lost.

Jesus quotes the Old Testament here. It is always interesting because we can compare the quoted verse both with the Hebrew Old Testament (Psalm 100:1) and with the Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint (here). The quote is identical to the Greek version. There is one major difference between original Hebrew and the Greek version in the Septuagint. The first "Lord" in the original Hebrew is the word for Lord, but the name of God, Yehovah.

Among the word whose meaning is stretched are the following.

• The phrase translated as "by the Holy Ghost" has a number of clear misrepresentations to support a theological concept not in Jesus's original Greek.Read more about this word in this article on the "holy spirit."
• The word translated as "sit" doesn't mean "sit" but "drop down." The original Hebrew word is most commonly translated as "dwell." The Greek word used, taken from the Septuagint, the Greek OT of Jesus's time, never means "sit."
• The word translated as "make/humble" is also not the word usually translated as "make." It means "to put" of "to place."
• A large number of words and phrases are added to the various translations from "stool" in the KJV to phrases such as "in the place of honor" in the NLT.

Holy --The Greek word translated as "holy" means "dedicated to the divine", which itself means both "pure" since things dedicated to God were first purified and "accursed" since using such things for your own purposes carried a punishment.
