In Acts 10:44-48 Luke displays his narrative ability by seamlessly resolving one storyline (begun with the introduction of Cornelius in 10:1) while simultaneously setting the stage for the ethnic and theological drama about to unfold in Jerusalem (11:1). At the same time, Luke lets this scene reverberate the theological melody of the entire book: the universal outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
“So he ordered that they be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ…” (10.48)
