NASB | Mark 12:36 "David himself said in the Holy Spirit, 'THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET."' |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 12:36 "David himself said [when inspired] by the Holy Spirit, 'THE LORD (the Father) SAID TO MY LORD (the Son, the Messiah), "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES UNDER YOUR FEET."' [Ps 110:1] |
Bible Question: What does it mean here to be "in the Holy Spirit?" See also Matthew 22:43 and Luke 20:42. |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Ray. The Amplified renders this verse like this: "David himself, [inspired] in the Holy Spirit, declared..." I believe David's words were "breathed by God"--the Holy Spirit itself spoke and David was just the instrument by which the words were conveyed to us. "For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so--it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit." [2 Peter 1:21 Amplified] "Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, and action)..." [2 Tim. 3:16 Amplified] This is the underlying premise of Hebrews 4:12, in my opinion. "For whatever was thus written in former days was written for our instruction, that by [our steadfast and patient] endurance and the encouragement [drawn] from the Scriptures we might hold fast to and cherish hope." [Rom. 15:4 Amplified] Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher |
