LUKE 20:43 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 20:41–44: Jesus asked people a difficult question about the Messiah

In this section Jesus was still teaching in the courtyard of the temple. Many people listened to him there. As he taught, he asked them about the Christ (Messiah) and his ancestor King David. Jesus asked them about this because he wanted the people to think about two things that the Scriptures say about the Messiah:

The Scriptures predicted that the Messiah would be a descendant of King David.
David called the Messiah “Lord,” showing that the Messiah was much greater than David.

To Jewish people, it was difficult to explain how both these facts could be true. They thought that an ancestor must be greater than his descendant. Jesus wanted them to know that the Messiah would be much greater than the earthly ruler that they expected him to be. He would be a descendant of David, but he would be greater than David. He would share the throne of God.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Examples of other headings for this section are:

The Question about the Messiah (GNT)

Whose Son Is the Christ? (ESV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 22:41–46 and Mark 12:35–37.

20:43

until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

as I completely defeat your^(sing) enemies. I will make them like a footstool for you.” ’
God declared that he would make all who hated/opposed the Messiah submit completely to him.’”

until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet: God spoke in a figurative way here. This clause is a promise that God will conquer the Messiah’s enemies and put them completely under the Messiah’s control. He compared the Messiah to a king who sits on his throne and rests his feet on the back or neck of an enemy king. That action shows that he has conquered the enemy king and completely controls him and his people. Some other ways to translate this are:

while I put your enemies completely under your control

while I humble your enemies and

make them like a stool for your feet

until: The Greek word that the BSB translates as until here means “during the time that” or “while.” The text does not say what the Messiah would do after God had defeated his enemies. But it does not mean that the Messiah would no longer sit at God’s right side after God had defeated the Messiah’s enemies.

a footstool for Your feet: A footstool was a small table or cushion that a person could rest his feet on while he was sitting. The Lord would make the Messiah’s enemies like a footstool for his feet.
