THE MESSAGE
While he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it that the religion scholars say that the Messiah is David's ‘son,' when we all know that David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said, God said to my Master, "Sit here at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." "David here designates the Messiah ‘my Master'—so how can the Messiah also be his ‘son'?" The large crowd was delighted with what they heard.

Contextual Overview
35 And as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How can the Scribes say, that Messiah is the son of David? 36 For David himself saith, by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath thy feet. 37 David therefore calleth him " My Lord;" and how is he his son? And all the multitude heard him with pleasure. 38 And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love the salutation in the streets, 39 and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at feasts. 40 They devour the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. These shall receive a greater condemnation.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jesus answered and said,.... To the Pharisees that were gathered together about him; :-.
While he taught in the temple; Whilst he was in the temple, and as he was teaching the people there; among other things in his doctrine, he put this question,
how say the Scribes, that Christ is the son of David? Not that Christ meant to deny or invalidate the truth of this; for the Messiah was certainly to be the son of David, and was; but he wanted to know, inasmuch as they commonly said, and instructed the people to believe, and it was in general believed by them, that he was David's son, how they could reconcile this to his being the Lord of David: or how they could give out, that he was only and merely the Son of David, when he was David's Lord. Matthew relates the matter thus; that Christ first put these questions to them, what they thought of the Messiah, and whose son he was; and that they immediately replied, he was the son of David: wherefore this question seems to be put upon that, with another along with it,
how then doth David in spirit call him Lord?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 22:41-46.
Mark 12:37
The common people heard him gladly - The success of the Saviour in his preaching was chiefly among the common or the poorer class of people. The rich and the mighty were too proud to listen to his instructions. So it is still. The main success of the gospel is there, and there it pours down its chief blessings. This is not the fault of âthe gospel.â It would bless the rich and the mighty as well as the poor, if they came with like humble hearts. God knows no distinctions of men in conferring his favors; and wherever there is a poor, contrite, and humble spirit - be it clothed in rags or in purple - be it on a throne or on a dunghill - there he confers the blessings of salvation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 35. How say the scribes — See Matthew 22:41, &c.
