Jesus, “the Son of man, ” was thus seen by Stephen in a role supportive to God in heaven ​ —“ at God’s right hand ” — ​ even as he had been ‘ alongside God ’ before he came to earth. ​ — John 17: 5.
Jadi, Stefanus melihat Yesus, ” Putra manusia ”, melayani kepentingan Allah di surga ​ — ” di sebelah kanan Allah ” — seperti ketika ia berada ’ di sisi Allah ’ sebelum ia datang ke bumi. ​ — Yohanes 17: 5.
