Matius 22:43

22:43 He said to them, “How then does David by the Spirit call him ‘Lord,’ saying,

Markus 12:36

12:36 David himself, by the Holy Spirit, said,

‘The Lord said to my lord, ¹ 

“Sit at my right hand,

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

Markus 12:2

12:2 At harvest time he sent a slave ³  to the tenants to collect from them ⁴  his portion of the crop. ⁵ 

1 Petrus 1:21

1:21 Through him you now trust ⁶  in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

[12:36]  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.

[12:36]  ² sn A quotation from Ps 110:1.

[12:2]  ³ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 10:44.

[12:2]  sn This slave (along with the others) represent the prophets God sent to the nation, who were mistreated and rejected.

[12:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “from the tenants,” but this is redundant in English, so the pronoun (“them”) was used in the translation.

[12:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “from the fruits of the vineyard.”

[1:21]  ⁶ tc Although there may be only a slight difference in translation, the term translated as “trust” is the adjective πιστούς (pistous). This is neither as common nor as clear as the verb πιστεύω (pisteuw, “believe, trust”). Consequently, most mss have the present participle πιστεύοντας (pisteuonta"; Ì⁷² א C P Ψ 1739 Ï), or the aorist participle πιστεύσαντες (pisteusante"; 33 pc), while A B pc vg have the adjective. Thus, πιστούς is to be preferred. In the NT the adjective is routinely taken passively in the sense of “faithful” (BDAG 820 s.v. πιστός 1). That may be part of the force here as well: “you are now faithful to God,” although the primary force in this context seems to be that of trusting. Nevertheless, it is difficult to separate faith from faithfulness in NT descriptions of Christians’ dependence on God.

[1:21]  tn Grk “who through him [are] trusting,” describing the “you” of v. 20. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
