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 From that time on, no one dared to ask him another question.
41 Jesus said to them, "How can people say that the Messiah is David's son?
42 David says in the book of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Take the highest position in heaven
43 until I make your enemies your footstool."'
44 David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?"
