Commentary for Acts 2:34

Wesley's Notes for Acts 2:34

2:34 Sit thou on my right hand - In this and the following verse is an allusion to two ancient customs; one, to the highest honour that used to be paid to persons by placing them on the right hand, as Solomon did Bathsheba, when sitting on his throne, #1Kings 2:19|; and the other, to the custom of conquerors, who used to tread on the necks of their vanquished enemies, as a token of their entire victory and triumph over them.

God, the Father. My Lord. Christ. Sit thou on my right hand. See Ac 2:33. "To sit at the right hand" implies participation in the Supreme Government.
