Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis ton ouranon {εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν | eis tòn ou-ra-nòn} specifies the destination of the ascension, while ek dexiōn tou theou {ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ θεοῦ | ek dek-si-ôn toû the-oû} is an idiomatic expression meaning “at the right hand of God,” using the genitive plural dexiōn to convey the place of honor and authority at God’s side. In translation, the temporal phrase is placed near the beginning of the sentence for natural English flow, and the idiom ek dexiōn is rendered with “at the right hand” to preserve its connotation of exalted status rather than literal spatial detail.
In context — Mark 16:19
So then, the Lord Jesus , after speaking to them, was taken up into heaven, and He sat at the right hand of God .
