“Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.”
Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. — the exaltation to God's right hand (kathisma dexion, seated at the right hand, the place of power and honor) is the consequence of resurrection and vindication. Christ's reception of the Spirit from the Father and his pouring out of the Spirit are intimately connected: the ascended Christ is the giver of the Spirit. The disciples' tongues experience is directly traced to Christ's heavenly exaltation.
