Luk 24:49 | NET2full | STEP | And look , I am sending you what my Father promised . But stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high .”

‏ Luke 24:49

49 And look, I am sending you ^{▼▼tn Grk “sending on you.”} what my Father promised. ^{▼▼tn Grk “the promise of my Father,” with τοῦ πατρός (tou patros) translated as a subjective genitive. This is a reference to the Holy Spirit and looks back to how one could see Messiah had come with the promise of old (Luke 3:15-18). The promise is rooted in Jer 31:31 and Ezek 36:26.} But stay in the city ^{▼▼sn The city refers to Jerusalem.} until you have been clothed with power ^{▼▼sn Until you have been clothed with power refers to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. What the Spirit supplies is enablement. See Luke 12:11-12; 21:12-15. The difference the Spirit makes can be seen in Peter (compare Luke 22:54-62 with Acts 2:14-41).} from on high.”
