Lukas 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.

Lukas 20:42 In-Context

40 Und sie wagten ihn fürder nichts mehr zu fragen.

41 Er sprach aber zu ihnen: Wie sagen sie, Christus sei Davids Sohn?

42 Und er selbst, David, spricht im Psalmbuch: "Der HERR hat gesagt zu meinem HERRN: Setze dich zu meiner Rechten,

43 bis daß ich lege deine Feinde zum Schemel deiner Füße."

44 David nennt ihn einen HERRN; wie ist er denn sein Sohn?
