4-PNEUMATOLOGY: MINISTRY TO JESUS VIRGINAL CONCEPTION Mt 1:18 Mt 1:20 Lk 1:35 JESUS’ BAPTISM Mt 3:16 Mk 1:10 Lk 3:22 Jn 1:32 JESUS’ TEMPTATION Mt 4:1 Mk 1:12 *Lk 4:1 HEALINGS Mt 12:16 Mt 12:22 with Mt 12:28 Lk 4:18 BLASPHEMY OF THE SPIRIT Mt 12:22-32 Mk 3:22-30 Compare Lk 9:32-34; 11:14-15; 12:10 GREAT COMMISSION Mt 28:19 PROPHECIES Is 42:1-3 (quoted Mt 12:16) Is 61:1-2 (quoted Lk 4:18-19) JESUS’ PROMISE TO GIVE THE SPIRIT *Jn 7:37-39 *Jn 14:16-17 Jn 14:26 *Jn 15:26 Jn 16:13-14 JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION (DEBATED) Rom 1:4 “according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” Heb 9:14 “through the eternal spirit offered Himself” 1 Pet 3:18 “put to death in the flesh but made alive in/by the spirit” UNCATEGORIZED Mt 3:11; Mk 1:8; Lk 3:16; Jn 1:33 One is coming who will “baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” Mt 10:20; Mk 13:11; Lk 12:12 Jesus told the 12 Apostles not to worry what to say when delivered up before rulers because it is “the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Lk 4:14 When Jesus returned from His temptation, He went in the power of the Spirit to Galilee. Lk 4:16-21 Jesus read the scroll in the synagogue from Is 61 that says “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...,” and Jesus said the Scripture had been fulfilled that day in their hearing. Lk 10:21 When the seventy (or seventy-two) returned to Jesus, He “rejoiced in the Holy Spirit.” Jn 3:5-8 Jesus told Nicodemus one had to be born of water and Spirit to enter the kingdom. Jn 3:34 John the Baptist told His disciples that Jesus was sent from God, and therefore uttered the words of God for He (Jesus or the Father?) gives the Spirit without measure. Jn 6:63 Jesus spoke difficult words about eating His flesh/drinking His blood and said that these words are spirit and life, and the flesh is no help at all because “It is the Spirit Who gives life.” *Jn 20:19-23 Following His resurrection Jesus appeared to His disciples and He sent them as the Father had sent Him. Jesus breathed on them and told them to “receive the Holy Spirit.” DISCUSS: What’s the difference between this and Pentecost? Bookman says this was the theocratic anointing. OBSERVATIONS 1. Jesus was anointed by the Spirit (Mt 12:16; Is 42:1-3; Lk 4:18-19; Is 61:1-2). 2. Jesus was filled by the Spirit (Lk 4:1). 3. Jesus went to Galilee in the power of the Spirit (Lk 4:14). 4. Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit (Lk 10:21). 5. Jesus healed many (Mt 12:16), cast out a demon (Mt 12:22, 28), and healed the blind (Lk 4:18) in the power of the Spirit. 1. Remember, healing of blindness was particularly Messianic (Is 29:18; 35:5; 42:7). See Mt 9:27-31; 11:5; 12:22; 15:30; 21:14; Mk 8:22-26; 10:46-52; Jn 9. 2. Compare Jesus’ healing of the woman with the perpetual flow of blood (Mk 5:2134; Lk 8:41-48; see also Mt 9:18-22), in which it seems the power went out directly from Jesus when she touched His garment. See also Lk 5:17; 6:19. 6. There’s a definite shift from the Gospels record to when the Spirit is given at Pentecost (Acts 2). 1. The Holy Spirit was with the Apostles but not in them yet (Jn 14:16-17). 2. The Holy Spirit was participant in reminding the Apostles of Jesus’ words and inspiring their writing of Scripture (Jn 14:26; 16:13-14). 3. Jesus breathed the Spirit upon the Apostles after His resurrection (Jn 20:19-23), but Jesus still told them to wait in Jerusalem until they were clothed with power from on high (Lk 24:49).
