大馬色的約翰：《正統信仰闡詳》第四部第二章：
我們認為基督親身坐在父上帝的右邊，但是我們卻不承認父的右邊是真正的場所。因為祂是無限定的，怎麼會有一個場所的右邊呢？左邊和右邊是屬於那有限的相對。但是我們說父右邊的意義是神的榮耀和尊貴。那在諸世代之前就是神，而與父有同樣的本質，後來又變成肉身的神子，就親身坐在這裡，祂的肉身分享那榮耀。因為祂與祂的肉身是為萬物以一體崇敬所敬拜著。Now, we say that Christ sat in His body at the right hand of the Father, yet we do not mean a physical right hand of the Father. For how would He who is uncircumscribed have a physical right hand? Right and left hands belong to those who are circumscribed. What we call the right hand of the Father is the glory and honor of the Godhead in which the Son of God existed as God and consubstantial with the Father before the ages and in which, having in the last days become incarnated, He sits corporeally with His flesh glorified together with Him, for He and His flesh are adored together with one adoration by all creation.
