Luke 20:42

42 αὐτὸς γὰρ ⸃ Δαυὶδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ ψαλμῶν · Εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου · Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου

Luke 20:42 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:42

And David himself saith in the book Psalms
In ( Psalms 110:1 ) the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand;
which words were delivered by David, as inspired by the Spirit of God; and contain a speech of God the Father to his son Jesus Christ, upon his ascension to heaven, after his sufferings, death, and resurrection from the dead; when he was bid to sit down in human nature, at the right hand of God, in token of having done his work on earth to full satisfaction; and in the relation of which David calls Christ his Lord; and is the reason of their being mentioned.

Luke 20:42 In-Context

40 οὐκέτι γὰρ ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν.

41 Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς · Πῶς λέγουσιν τὸν χριστὸν εἶναι Δαυὶδ υἱόν;

42 αὐτὸς γὰρ ⸃ Δαυὶδ λέγει ἐν βίβλῳ ψαλμῶν · Εἶπεν κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου · Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου

43 ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου.

44 Δαυὶδ οὖν αὐτὸν κύριον ⸃ καλεῖ, καὶ πῶς αὐτοῦ υἱός ⸃ ἐστιν;
