NETBible

But Stephen,¹ full² of the Holy Spirit, looked intently³ toward heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing⁴ at the right hand of God.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “he”; the referent (Stephen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Grk “being full,” but the participle ὑπάρχων (Juparcwn) has not been translated since it would be redundant in English.

³tn Grk “looking intently toward heaven, saw.” The participle ἀτενίσας (atenisa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁴sn The picture of Jesus standing (rather than seated) probably indicates his rising to receive his child. By announcing his vision, Stephen thoroughly offended his audience, who believed no one could share God’s place in heaven. The phrase is a variation on Ps 110:1.
