Exegesis
The verse begins with the emphatic construction autos Dauid {αὐτός Δαυίδ | autós Dauíd}, placing stress on David himself as the authority behind the citation.
The clause autos Dauid legei auton kyrion {αὐτός Δαυίδ λέγει αὐτὸν κύριον | autós Dauíd lé-gei autón ký-ri-on} has David as subject and the pronoun auton as the object, with kyrion functioning as a predicate accusative, “he calls him Lord.”
In context — Mark 12:37
David himself calls Him Lord , so how is He his Son? And the great crowd was listening to Him with delight.
