Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured forth this, which you now see and hear.
All Commentaries on Acts 2:33 Go To Acts 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The promise, he says; because [promised] before His Passion. Observe how he now makes it all His [He has poured forth this], covertly making a great point. For if it was he poured this out, it is of Him that the Prophet has spoken above, Or [it may be], the promise which He promised to us. He so foreknew it about to be, and has given it to us greater after the resurrection. And, has poured it out, he says; not requiring worthiness: and not simply gave, but with abundance.
