‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’(B)

‘(D)The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
37 David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?” And (E)the large crowd [c]enjoyed listening to Him.
