Matthew 22:44

Context

22:44The Lord said to my lord, 1 

Sit at my right hand,

until I put your enemies under your feet”’? 2 

Matthew 28:9

Context
28:9 But 3  Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” They 4  came to him, held on to his feet and worshiped him.

1 sn The Lord said to my Lord. With David being the speaker, this indicates his respect for his descendant (referred to as my Lord). Jesus was arguing, as the ancient exposition assumed, that the passage is about the Lord’s anointed. The passage looks at an enthronement of this figure and a declaration of honor for him as he takes his place at the side of God. In Jerusalem, the king’s palace was located to the right of the temple to indicate this kind of relationship. Jesus was pressing the language here to get his opponents to reflect on how great Messiah is.

2 sn A quotation from Ps 110:1.

3 tn Grk “And behold.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate that the return of the women from the tomb was interrupted by this appearance of Jesus. The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

4 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
