Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear." — Acts 2:33 (ASV)
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear.
"This, which is a mystery to you, is the result of Christ's exaltation at the right hand of His Father."
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.
