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 No one dared to ask him anything else.
41 Jesus said to them, "Why do they say that the Christ is David's son?
42 David himself says in the scroll of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right side
43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.'
44 Since David calls him ‘Lord,' how can he be David's son?"
