Act 19:2. Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον) The article is not added: the language is indefinite, to accord with the part (pro parte) of those who are being interrogated.-πιστεύσαντες) since ye have received the faith.-οἱ δὲ) but they said, plainly and openly.-οὐδὲ) i.e. not even have we heard this, that there are others (some persons) who receive Him (the Holy Spirit). For they could not have followed either Moses or John the Baptist, without hearing of the Holy Spirit Himself. [Therefore what they were ignorant of was, the effusion of the Holy Spirit peculiar to the New Testament.-V. g.]-ἔστιν, is) that is, whether He is received. See note on Joh 7:39 (To be is used for to be present, to be given, Mat 2:18; Gen 42:36).
