Historic Christian voices

8 passages from patristic writers, Reformers, and church catechisms citing this verse.

§439Many Jews and even certain Gentiles who shared their hope recognized in Jesus the fundamental attributes of the messianic "Son of David", promised by God to Israel.38 Jesus accepted his rightful title of Messiah, though with some reserve because it was understood by some of his contemporaries in too human a sense, as essentially political.39
§447Jesus ascribes this title to himself in a veiled way when he disputes with the Pharisees about the meaning of Psalm 110, but also in an explicit way when he addresses his apostles.61 Throughout his public life, he demonstrated his divine sovereignty by works of power over nature, illnesses, demons, death and sin.
A vindication of the prophecy in Isaiah 7:14 against the misinterpretations of Theodotion, Aquila, the Ebionites, and the Jews. Authority of the Septuagint version. Arguments in proof that Christ was born of a virgin. 1. God, then, was made man, and the Lord did Himself save us, giving us the token of the Virgin. But not as some allege, among those now presuming to expound the …
Whosoever confesses that one God is the author of both Testaments, and diligently reads the Scriptures in company with the presbyters of the Church, is a true spiritual disciple; and he will rightly understand and interpret all that the prophets have declared respecting Christ and the liberty of the New Testament. 1. A spiritual disciple of this sort truly receiving the Spirit …
2. And to His disciples He says these things; but to the others, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily teaching in the temple, and you laid no hold on me. See how many things He does that might awaken them. He cast them to the ground, He healed the servant's ear, He threatened them with being slain; For they shall perish with th…
1. Nothing hinders us from handling today also the same words, since before we were prevented by the setting forth of doctrines, from considering all that was read. Where now are those who deny that He is true God? For here He is called the true Light John 14:6, and elsewhere very Truth and very Life. That saying we will discuss more clearly when we come to the place; but at pr…
'The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.' See Ps. cx. 1 and Matt. xxii. 44 and Acts ii. 34-35 and Heb. i. 13. David in spirit calls Him Lord, of whom he was himself the father according to the flesh. See Matt. xxii. 43-45. Therefore Christ is both David's Lord and David's Son: David's Son according to the flesh, David's L…
