That's a very remarkable Scripture, Luke 24. 49. And behold I send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry ye in the City of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. The Lord Jesus would not have them go from Jerusalem, till they were endued with power from on high. By the promise of the father, is meant the gifts and graces of the Spirit, that's promised in Isa. 44. 3. Joel 2. 28. John 14. 16. & 15. 26. Tarry ye here (says Christ) at Jerusalem, till ye be completely armed and fitted for all encounters, till ye be endued with power: Or as the Greek carries it, Till ye be clothed. They were as naked persons, they had but a little 1of the Spirit, so that they were not complete; they were not clothed with the Spirit, till after the Ascension of Christ. Now saith Christ, Tarry until such time as ye are clothed with the Spirit. The Lord Jesus knew well enough, that they should meet with bitter opposition, terrible Afflictions, and dreadful persecutions, for his and the Gospel sake; therefore tarry (saith he) until ye be clothed with the holy Ghost: That so nothing may daunt ye, nor sink ye.
