Aug 4, 2022 · Jesus is greater than David. In Jesus’ day a common title for the Messiah was “Son of David” (see Matthew 9:27). The Jews’ use of this term signified their belief, based on prophecy, that the Messiah would be of David’s lineage (2 Samuel 7:16).

Oct 18, 2024 · Jesus said, “The Father is greater than I” (John 14:28) to His troubled disciples on the night of His arrest. Jesus had announced His imminent departure, and this puzzled them (John 13:33–38; 14:1; 16:16–18).
Jan 26, 2023 · Jesus’ point in asking the question of Mark 12:35 was that the Messiah is more than the physical son of David. If He is David’s Lord, He must be greater than David. As Jesus says in Revelation 22:16, “I am the Root and the Offspring of David.” That is, He is both the Creator of David and the Descendant of David.
That Jesus is greater than David is already clear (12:1–4; cf. 12:6, 8, 41), but now Matthew explains why: the Messiah is the son of David and the Son of God. But the Pharisees will not accept a Messiah who, as David’s Lord, is greater than David.
Jun 23, 2024 · Jesus meant He is greater than David. Jesus said He is “greater than the Temple” (Mat 12:6); “greater than Jonah” (verse 41); and “greater than Solomon” (verse 42). He is greater than even patriarch Abraham because He was the I AM before Abraham came to be (John 8:58).
Sep 28, 2008 · On the contrary, Jesus was trying to get His hearers to understand that the Messiah, though David’s Son, is greater than David, for King David called Him “my Lord.” It was self-evident to first-century Jews that the Messiah would be a descendant of David (Psalm 89:3-4; 132:11-12; Isaiah 9:6-7; Matthew 1:1-16; 12:23; 21:9,15; Luke 3:23-38).
Apr 18, 2008 · When Jesus defends John, Jesus says, “He’s the greatest man born of woman up to this point because he introduced me.” It’s a stunning thing. In other words, in the estimation of Jesus, John the Baptist is greater than Abraham.
