Hilary of Poitiers

ON THE TRINITY 8.30 (367)

Now in these diverse activities that Gift is set forth in no uncertain light of which our Lord had spoken to the apostles when He taught them not to depart from Jerusalem; but wait, said He, for the promise of the Father which ye heard from My lips: for John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, which ye shall also receive not many days hence.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

First, The Spirit was given by promise, and it was at this time the great promise, as that of the Messiah was before ( Luke i. 72 ), and that of eternal life is now, 1 John ii. Temporal good things are given by Providence, but the Spirit and spiritual blessings are given by promise, Gal. iii.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

And, being assembled together - Instead of συναλιζομενος, being assembled together, several good MSS. and versions read συναυλιζομενος, living or eating together, which refers the conversation reported here to some particular time, when he sat at meat, with his disciples. See Mar 16:14: Luk 24:41-44. But probably the common reading is to be preferred; and the meeting on a mountain of Galilee is what is here meant. The promise of the Father - The Holy Spirit, which indeed was the grand promise of the New Testament, as Jesus Christ was of the Old.
