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 For a while, anyway, no one dared put questions to him.
41 Then he put a question to them: "How is it that they say that the Messiah is David's son?
42 In the Book of Psalms, David clearly says, God said to my Master, "Sit here at my right hand
43 until I put your enemies under your feet."
44 "David here designates the Messiah as 'my Master' - so how can the Messiah also be his 'son'?"
