ACC ~ Acts 11 v15

TO SHOW THAT ALL WAS OF GOD. CHRYSOSTOM: It was out of superabundance that this [sending of the Holy Spirit] takes place, to show that even the beginning did not come from the apostle. For if Peter had set out of his own accord and [the Holy Spirit had not come first], they would have been completely thunder-struck. Consequently, from the start he tries to bring their thoughts around to his side by saying, “who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have.” HOMILIES ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 24.
