Context of Luke 20:41
39Some of the Torah scholars replied, “Teacher, You have said it well.” 40For they no longer dared to question Him about anything. Then Yeshua said to them, “How can they say that the Messiah is Ben-David? 42For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, ‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, 43until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
