Commentary on Acts 1:5

Theological / Devotional

John truly baptized. That is, John the Baptist (see Matt. 3:1-11).

With the Holy Ghost. Such a baptism had been promised by John the Baptist (see Matt. 3:11). The promise (Acts 1:4) called for a baptism, not with water (see on Matt. 3:6, 11), but with the Spirit, “not many days” after the promise had been given — at Pentecost.
