Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 22:69

"But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God." — Luke 22:69 (ASV)

From now on the Son of Man will sit.—Literally, From this time forth the Son of Man will be sitting. In St. Luke’s shorter record, the immediate sequence of this confession upon an apparent refusal to answer seems hardly consistent. The narrative of St. Matthew shows that the change of purpose or action was caused by the solemn adjuration of the high priest, which no longer left Him the alternative of silence.

The form of the answer, too, is somewhat altered. Not ye shall see, but simply shall be sitting, as though the dominant thought in St. Luke’s mind when reporting the words was that even in the agony and death that were so soon to come on Him, our Lord found Himself glorified (John 12:23). The Cross was His throne, and while hanging on it, He was in spirit sitting at the right hand of the Father.
