“Can you imagine that the similarity in language between Acts 10:38 (“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power”) and Acts 1:8 (“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you”) is accidental or merely coincidental? I highly doubt it. It seems rather that Luke’s point would be this: the very power by which Jesus lived his life and carried out his mission (Acts 10:38) is now ours since the Holy Spirit who was on him is given to us, his followers (Acts 1:8).”
