Acts 2:34-35

2:34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says,

The Lord said to my lord,

Sit at my right hand

2:35 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’


sn Sit at my right hand. The word “sit” alludes back to the promise of “seating one on his throne” in v. 30.

sn The metaphor make your enemies a footstool portrays the complete subjugation of the enemies.

sn A quotation from Ps 110:1, one of the most often-cited OT passages in the NT, pointing to the exaltation of Jesus.
