Acts 2:33

33 So then, exalted ^{▼▼ The aorist participle ὑψωθείς (huyōtheis) could be taken temporally: “So then, after he was exalted…” In the translation the more neutral “exalted” (a shorter form of “having been exalted”) was used to preserve the ambiguity of the original Greek.} to the right hand ^{▼▼ The expression the right hand of God represents supreme power and authority. Its use here sets up the quotation of Ps 110:1 in v. 34.} of God, and having received ^{▼▼ The aorist participle λαβών (labōn) could be taken temporally: “So then, after he was exalted…and received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit.” In the translation the more neutral “having received” was used to preserve the ambiguity of the original Greek.} the promise of the Holy Spirit ^{▼▼ Here the genitive τοῦ πνεύματος (tou pneumatos) is a genitive of apposition; the promise consists of the Holy Spirit.} from the Father, he has poured out ^{▼▼ The use of the verb poured out looks back to 2:17–18, where the same verb occurs twice.} what you both see and hear.
