Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching · §84

Sit at my right hand until enemies are footstool

And again David: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’ (Ps 110:1; Acts 2:34-35; Heb 1:13)

That this is said of no one else but of the Lord, who rules over all and is the Son of God, whom the Father has made to sit at his right hand, is plain. For David says ‘to my Lord’ — not speaking of himself. (Mt 22:43-45)

About this text

Irenaeus’s short handbook of the apostolic preaching (Epideixis), preserved in Armenian. English here is a densified reading translation for study. Prior English exists (Robinson / Wilson) — this is not an Original English Translation.

English follows the Armenian of Patrologia Orientalis XII.5. Barthoulot’s French was used as a sense-check only. Robinson (1920) and Wilson’s prior English exist and were checked for independence — this page is densified English, not Original English Translation / no-previous-English.
