Significance

At the Sanhedrin, Luke records Jesus' declaration: "But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God" (Luke 22:69). Like the Matthean and Markan parallels (Matt 26:64; Mark 14:62), this is a composite claim fusing Daniel 7:13 (the title "the Son of Man" and the heavenly enthronement before the Ancient of Days) with Psalm 110:1 (the session "at the right hand"). Luke abbreviates the saying, dropping the explicit "coming on the clouds," but retains the load-bearing Danielic title and the enthronement, while foregrounding Psalm 110's right-hand session — hence the vault already files Luke 22:66-71 → Ps 110:1 for the session side. This IP documents the Danielic side: the figure now exalted to God's right hand is the Son of Man of Daniel 7, to whom dominion, glory, and kingship have been given. Luke's "from now on" marks the inauguration of that everlasting dominion at the resurrection-ascension. The connection is promise-fulfillment: the Son of Man's reception of dominion before the Ancient of Days is realized in Jesus' exaltation. The telos is the vindicated Son of Man — the prisoner on trial who is in truth the enthroned King at God's right hand, so that the lowliness of His passion and the height of His glory belong to one and the same desirable Lord whom His people are summoned to confess and adore.
