Luke 24:49 - Exposition

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you . Promised on the last Passover evening (John 14-16; see especially John 14:16-26 ; John 15:26 , John 15:27 ; John 16:7 , etc.), and fulfilled partly on the first Easter evening, when he breathed on them ( John 20:22 ), and completely on the first Pentecost ( Acts 2:1 , etc.). But tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high . These words apparently were spoken on the day of his ascension (see Acts 1:4 ).
