2:33 So then, exalted ¹  to the right hand ²  of God, and having received ³  the promise of the Holy Spirit ⁴  from the Father, he has poured out ⁵  what you both see and hear.

Kisah Para Rasul 7:52

7:52 Which of the prophets did your ancestors ⁶  not persecute? ⁷  They ⁸  killed those who foretold long ago the coming of the Righteous One, ⁹  whose betrayers and murderers you have now become! ¹⁰ 

[2:33]  ¹ tn The aorist participle ὑψωθείς (Juywqei") 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.

[2:33]  ² sn 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.

[2:33]  ³ tn The aorist participle λαβών (labwn) 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.

[2:33]  ⁴ tn Here the genitive τοῦ πνεύματος (tou pneumato") is a genitive of apposition; the promise consists of the Holy Spirit.

[2:33]  ⁵ sn The use of the verb poured out looks back to 2:17-18, where the same verb occurs twice.

[7:52]  ⁶ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:52]  ⁷ sn Which…persecute. The rhetorical question suggests they persecuted them all.

[7:52]  ⁸ tn Grk “And they.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[7:52]  ⁹ sn The Righteous One is a reference to Jesus Christ.

[7:52]  ¹⁰ sn Whose betrayers and murderers you have now become. The harsh critique has OT precedent (1 Kgs 19:10-14; Neh 9:26; 2 Chr 36:16).
