Commentary

Commentary on Acts 2:33

Theological / Devotional

By the right hand. Or, “at the right hand.” Such a position was one of honor (see Matt. 20:21; 25:33), and is portrayed as that taken by Christ upon His glorification (Matt. 26:64; Heb. 1:3; cf. Acts 2:34).

Exalted. See on John 1:1-3, 14; see Additional Note on John 1.

Promise of the Holy Ghost. See on John 14:16, 26 ; 15:26.

Shed forth. Rather, “poured out.”

Now. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 10) the omission of this word.
