Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1188: δεξιόςδεξιός, δεξιά, δεξιόν (from δέχομαι, future δέξομαι, or from δέκω, which is akin to δείκνυμι; properly, of that hand which is accustomed to take told of as well as to point out; just as ἄξιος comes from ἄξω, future of ἄγω; (cf. Curtius, §§ 11, 266)), the right: Matthew 5:29, 39; Luke 22:50; John 18:10; Revelation 10:2; ἡδεξιάχείρ, Matthew 5:30; Luke 6:6; Acts 3:7; Revelation 1:16; Revelation 13:16; and (with χείρ omitted) ἡδεξιά (like ἡἀριστερά), Matthew 6:3; Matthew 27:29; Revelation 1:20; Revelation 2:1; Revelation 5:7; ἐπίτήνδεξιάν ( on the right hand i. e.) at the right side, Revelation 5:1 (but others take it more closely, in the right hand; cf. Revelation 5:7 and Revelation 20:1); διδόναιτήνδεξιάν or τάςδεξιᾶς, to pledge either a mutual friendship, or a compact, by joining the right hands: Galatians 2:9 (1 Macc. 6:58 1 Macc. 11:50, 62, 66 1 Macc. 13:50; 2 Macc. 11:26 2Macc. 12:11 2Macc. 13:22; cf. Gesenius, Thesaurus ii., pp. 566 and 599; and in secular authors as Xenophon, an. 1, 6, 6; 2, 5, 3; Josephus, Antiquities 18, 9, 3 δεξιάντέκαίπίστινδιδόναιτίνι); God is said to have done something τῇδεξιάαὐτοῦ with his right hand i. e., according to Hebrew idiom, by his own power (cf. Winer's Grammar, 214 (201)): Acts 2:33; Acts 5:31; τάὅπλατάδεξιά, arms carried in the right hand and used for attack, as the sword, the spear, καίἀριστερά those carried in the left hand, for the purpose of defense, as the shield: 2 Corinthians 6:7; τάδεξιάμέρητοῦπλοίου, John 21:6. τάδεξιά the right side ( Winer's Grammar, 176 (166)): Mark 16:5; ἐκδεξιῶντίνοςon one's right hand (Latin adalicuiusdextram), Matthew 25:33; Matthew 27:38; Mark 15:27; Luke 1:11; Luke 23:33; εἶναι, Acts 2:25 (from Psalm 15:8 (), he is at my right hand, namely, as a leader, to sustain me). As in this expression the Greeks use the prepositionἐκ, so the Hebrews sometimes useמִן (מִימִין from i. e. at the right,פְּמֵאֵצֶל from i. e. at the side of anyone) and the Romansab (sedereadextraalicuis,proximumesseabaliquo), because they define the position of one standing or sitting next another by proceeding from the one next to whom he is said to stand or sit (cf.Winer's Grammar, 367 (344)).καθίσαιἐκδεξιῶνκαίἐξεὐωνύμωντίνοςβασιλέως, to occupy the places of honor nearest the king,Matthew 20:21, 23;Mark 10:37, 40; (יָשַׁבפְּלִימִין,1 Kings 2:19;Psalm 44:10 ()). Hence, afterPsalm 109:1 () as applied to the Messiah (Matthew 22:44;Mark 12:36;Luke 20:42), Christ is said to have ascendedκαθῆσθαι orκαθίσαιἐκδεξιῶν (at oron the right hand) of God,Matthew 26:64;Mark 14:62;Mark 16:19;Luke 22:69;Acts 2:34;Hebrews 1:13;εἶναι orκαθίσαιἐνδεξιάτοῦΘεοῦ,Romans 8:34;Ephesians 1:20;Colossians 3:1;Hebrews 1:3;Hebrews 8:1;Hebrews 10:12;Hebrews 12:2 — to indicate that he hasbecome a partner in God's universal government (cf. Knapp, De J. Chr. ad dextram dei sedente, in his Scripts var. arg., p. 41ff; (Stuart, Commentary on Hebrews, excurs. iv.)). That these expressions are to be understood in this figurative sense, and not of a fixed and definite place in the highest heavens (as Chr. From Fritzsche in Nov. Opuscc. acad., p. 209ff tries to prove, after the orthodox theologians of the reformed church), will be questioned by no one who carefully considersRevelation 3:21. Christ is once spoken of asἑστώςἐκδεξιῶντοῦΘεοῦ, as though in indignation at his adversaries (according to others, to welcome his martyred servant) he had risen from his heavenly throne,Acts 7:55f.
