People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 1:4
Commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem. Because,
right in the citadel of his enemies, where he had been slain, the Risen
Lord was to be first proclaimed, his Gospel preached, the Holy Spirit
shed forth, and his kingdom established. Because, too, the prophet
Isaiah had declared that Jerusalem should be the place where the Gospel
should be first preached (Isaiah 2:3).
But wait for the promise of the Father. See Joel 2:28 Zec 2:10
John 14:16 15:26 Mt 3:11. They must wait for the Spirit, that they
might speak, on the great day of the inauguration of the kingdom, as
the Holy Spirit "gave them utterance" (Acts 2:4). The conditions of
citizenship in the kingdom must be spoken by the Spirit.
