SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:33
Así que, levantado por la diestra de Dios, y recibiendo del Padre la promesa del Espíritu Santo, ha derramado esto que vosotros ahora veis y oís.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 2:33
Verse 33. By the right hand of God exalted] Raised by omnipotence to the highest dignity in the realms of glory, to sit at the right hand of God, and administer the laws of both worlds. The promise of the Holy Ghost] This was the promise that he had made to them a little before he suffered, as may be seen in John xiv. 16, &c., John xvi. 7, &c., and after he had risen from the dead. Luke xxiv. 49, and which as the apostle says was now shed forth.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted , etc.] After his resurrection he ascended to heaven, and was exalted in human nature; to the right hand of God, as the Ethiopic version; and the Arabic version used by Deuteronomy Dieu read; an honour that never was conferred on any creature, angels or men, besides: or he was exalted and raised to the high honour and dignity of a Prince and Saviour, of Lord, Head, and King, so as to have a name, dominion, and authority over all, by the mighty power of God, which is sometimes called his right hand; (see <19B815> Psalm 118:15,16). and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost ; which the Father had promised to pour forth in the last days, ( Isaiah 44:3, Joel 2:28) and which Christ had promised to send from the Father, ( John 14:16,26, 15:26, 16:7) and which, upon his ascension and exaltation, he received as Mediator from him; (see Psalm 68:18) compared with ( Ephesians 4:8) he hath shed forth this ; this Holy Spirit, or promised Spirit, these gifts of his; and so the Syriac version renders it, he hath shed forth this gift; which expresses both the plenty and abundance of the gifts bestowed, and the liberality of Christ in the donation of them: it is added, which ye now see and hear ; meaning the cloven tongues, as of fire, which they saw sitting on the disciples, and the various languages which they heard them speak. The Alexandrian copy, the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions, leave out the word now: and the Syriac, in the room of it, reads, behold.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-36 - From this gift of the Holy Ghost, Peter preaches unto them Jesus: an here is the history of Christ. Here is an account of his death an sufferings, which they witnessed but a few weeks before. His death is considered as God's act; and of wonderful grace and wisdom. Thus Divin justice must be satisfied, God and man brought together again, an Christ himself glorified, according to an eternal counsel, which coul not be altered. And as the people's act; in them it was an act of awfu sin and folly. Christ's resurrection did away the reproach of his death; Peter speaks largely upon this. Christ was God's Holy One sanctified and set apart to his service in the work of redemption. Hi death and sufferings should be, not to him only, but to all his, the entrance to a blessed life for evermore. This event had taken place a foretold, and the apostles were witnesses. Nor did the resurrectio rest upon this alone; Christ had poured upon his disciples the miraculous gifts and Divine influences, of which they witnessed the effects. Through the Saviour, the ways of life are made known; and we are encouraged to expect God's presence, and his favour for evermore All this springs from assured belief that Jesus is the Lord, and the anointed Saviour.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:33 {By the right hand of God} (tei dexiai tou qeou). this translation makes it the instrumental case. The margin has it "at" instead of "by," that is the locative case. And it will make sense in the true dative case, "to the right hand of God." These three cases came to have the same form in Greek. #Ro 8:24 furnishes another illustration of like ambiguity (tei elpidi), saved by hope, in hope, or for hope. Usually it is quite easy to tell the case when the form is identical. {Exalted} (huywqeis). First aorist passive participle of huyow, to lift up. Here both the literal and tropical sense occurs. Cf. #Joh 12:32. {The promise of the Holy Spirit} (ten epaggelian tou pneumatos tou hagiou). The promise mentioned in #1:4 and now come true, consisting in the Holy Spirit "from the Father" (para tou patros), sent by the Father and by the Son (#Joh 15:26; 16:7). See also #Ga 3:14. {He hath poured forth} (execeen). Aorist active indicative of ekcew the verb used by Joel and quoted by Peter already in verses #17,18. Jesus has fulfilled his promise. { this which ye see and hear} (touto ho humeis kai blepete kai akouete). this includes the sound like the rushing wind, the tongues like fire on each of them, the different languages spoken by the 120. "The proof was before their eyes in this new energy from heaven" (Furneaux), a culminating demonstration that Jesus was the Messiah.
