Wesley's Notes

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence-ten days hence, as appears from Le 23:15, 16; but it was expressed thus indefinitely to exercise their faith.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:1-5 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. 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.
