LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 24:49 The promise of my Father refers to the Holy Spirit (see note on Acts 2:33). John the Baptist announced that the coming of the Holy Spirit is a sign that the Messiah had come (Luke 3:15). The Holy Spirit would enable the disciples to act as Jesus’ witnesses (see Acts 1:8). But stay in the city until (see Acts 1:4). For the tie between power and the Spirit, see note on Luke 1:16–17.
