1 Samuel 3:7
Acts 8:16
Verse 16. He was fallen. This expression is several times applied to the Holy Spirit, Acts 10:44, 11:15. It does not differ materially from the common expression, "the Holy Ghost descended." It means that he came from heaven; and the expression to fall, applied to his influences, denotes the rapidity and suddenness of his coming. Comp. Acts 19:2. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 2:38. See also Acts 10:48, 19:5,6. (a) "as yet" Acts 19:2 (b) "were baptized" Acts 2:38, 10:48, 19:5,6, 1Cor 1:13 (*) "in the name" "unto"
