SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:35
hasta que ponga a tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 2:35
Verse 35. Until I make thy foes thy footstool.] It was usual with conquerors to put their feet on the necks of vanquished leaders, as emblematical of the state of subjection to which they were reduced, and the total extinction of their power. By quoting these words, Peter shows the Jews, who continued enemies to Christ, that their discomfiture and ruin must necessarily take place, their own king and prophet having predicted this in connection with the other things which had already been so literally and circumstantially fulfilled. This conclusion had the desired effect, when pressed home with the strong application in the following verse.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 35. Until I make thy foes thy footstool .] (See Gill on Matthew 22:44).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-36 - From this gift of the Holy Ghost, Peter preaches unto them Jesus: an here is the history of Christ. Here is an account of his death an sufferings, which they witnessed but a few weeks before. His death is considered as God's act; and of wonderful grace and wisdom. Thus Divin justice must be satisfied, God and man brought together again, an Christ himself glorified, according to an eternal counsel, which coul not be altered. And as the people's act; in them it was an act of awfu sin and folly. Christ's resurrection did away the reproach of his death; Peter speaks largely upon this. Christ was God's Holy One sanctified and set apart to his service in the work of redemption. Hi death and sufferings should be, not to him only, but to all his, the entrance to a blessed life for evermore. This event had taken place a foretold, and the apostles were witnesses. Nor did the resurrectio rest upon this alone; Christ had poured upon his disciples the miraculous gifts and Divine influences, of which they witnessed the effects. Through the Saviour, the ways of life are made known; and we are encouraged to expect God's presence, and his favour for evermore All this springs from assured belief that Jesus is the Lord, and the anointed Saviour.

35. Thy footstool. A.V. omits of thy feet.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:35 {Till I make} (hews an qw). Second aorist active subjunctive of tiqemi with an after hews for the future, a common Greek idiom. this dominion of Christ as Mediator will last till the plan of the kingdom is carried out (#1Co 15:23-28). Complete subjugation will come, perhaps referring to the custom of victorious kings placing their feet upon the necks of their enemies (#Jos 10:24). {Therefore assuredly} (asfalws oun). Assuredly therefore, without any slip or trip (asfales from a privative and sfallw, to trip, to slip. Peter draws a powerfully pungent conclusion by the use of the adverb asfalws and the inferential conjunction oun. Peter's closing sentence drives home the point of his sermon: " this very Jesus whom ye crucified (note humeis, strongly emphatic {ye}), him God made both Lord and Messiah" (kai kurion kai criston), as David foretold in #Ps 110 and as the events of this day have confirmed. The critics are disturbed over how Luke could have gotten the substance of this masterful address spoken on the spur of the moment with passion and power. They even say that Luke composed it for Peter and put the words in his mouth. If so, he made a good job of it. But Peter could have written out the notes of the address afterwards. Luke had plenty of chances to get hold of it from Peter or from others.
