Then he said to them, "These are the very things I told you about while I was still with you: everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the writings of the prophets, and the Psalms had to come true."

David son of Jesse was the man whom God made great, whom the God of Jacob chose to be king, and who was the composer of beautiful songs for Israel. These are David's last words:

The spirit of the LORD speaks through me; his message is on my lips.

"Why, then," Jesus asked, "did the Spirit inspire David to call him 'Lord'? David said,

The Holy Spirit inspired David to say: 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies under your feet.'

David himself called him 'Lord'; so how can the Messiah be David's descendant?" A large crowd was listening to Jesus gladly.

"For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'May his house become empty; may no one live in it.' It is also written, 'May someone else take his place of service.'

(SEE 13:32)

As indeed he says in another passage, 'You will not allow your faithful servant to rot in the grave.'

So then, as the Holy Spirit says, "If you hear God's voice today,

The LORD said to my lord, "Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies under your feet."

'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies under your feet.'

If, then, David called him 'Lord,' how can the Messiah be David's descendant?"

For it was not David who went up into heaven; rather he said, 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit here at my right side

until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet.'

For Christ must rule until God defeats all enemies and puts them under his feet.

God never said to any of his angels: "Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet."
