Exegesis
The sentence opens with the emphatic subject autos {αὐτὸς | aû-tos} ‘he himself,’ which, combined with the postpositive conjunction gar {γὰρ | gàr} ‘for,’ underscores David’s own testimony as authoritative support for Jesus’ argument.
In context — Luke 20:42
For David himself says in the book of Psalms, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand .’”
