13. ὑποπόδιον. This same passage from Psa 110:1 had been quoted by our Lord, in its Messianic sense, to the Scribes and Pharisees, without any attempt on their part to challenge His application of it (Mat 22:41-44). It is also referred to by St Peter in Act 2:34 and by St Paul (1Co 15:25). The Greek expression for “till” (ἕως ἂν) implies entire indefiniteness of time. The reference is to the oriental custom of putting the feet on the necks of conquered kings (Jos 10:24).
