Oecumenius, on Acts 1:4

Oecumenius · c. A.D. 550
Acts 1:4 · Douay-Rheims
“And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.”
On this verse:
“The promise of the Father. And where did the Father promise this? We say, then, that either through omission, from the preposition "from," the expression must be understood so that it means, to wait for the promise from the Father, which I made to you of the Holy Spirit; or also that, as he himself says, what I have heard from the Father, these things I proclaim to you. And the promise of the Holy Spirit, although it came through Him, was also from the Father. And if you seek the Spirit from Him, Joel guarantees the word to be trusted, saying, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh." (Joel 2:28)”
