"The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,"
Commentary
Matthew Henry Concise
📖
Summary
Our Lord told the disciples the work they were to do. The apostles met together at Jerusalem; Christ having ordered them not to depart thence, but to wait for the
pouring out of the Holy Spirit.
✨
Reflection
This would be a baptism by the Holy Ghost, giving them power to work miracles, and enlightening and sanctifying their souls. This confirms the Divine promise, and encourages us to
depend upon it, that we have heard it from Christ; for in Him all the promises of God are yea and amen.
