**The following answer is very specific; not to be picky, but to point out something profound. It is based on the New King James text.**

Eight times, Jesus is said to be at the "right hand of God," but only once is He said to be "sitting" (Colossians 3:1).

Twice, it is said that He "sat down" (Mark 16:19; Hebrews 10:12).

Once, that He was "exalted to" (Acts 2:33).

Twice, it's simply said He is "at the right hand of God" (Romans 8:34; 1 Peter 3:22).

And as Stephen was being stoned in the concluding verses of Acts 7, he gazes into heaven and sees Jesus "standing at the right hand of God" (Acts 7:55, 56). The narrative states it in verse 55, and Stephen exclaims that it is so in verse 56.

This detail is pointed out as comfort to the bereaved Christian. The implication is that Jesus takes particular note of the suffering of His servants. It speaks of His awareness of our every plight, and His loving concern, that Stephen saw Him not seated, but standing as he prayed, ""Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." (Acts 7:59)

Did Joseph father of Jesus die before of after the crucifixation of Jesus?

Before. The Bible mentions his father when describing the early life of Jesus but it does not mention his father during the time after the start of Jesus's ministry. Hmm. I can't say now if there is a scripture that says his father died but it does mention his Mother and brothers so it may be assumed he was dead. I'm sure there is a verse somewhere.
