Commentary on Acts 1:5
The contrast between John's water baptism and Spirit baptism marks the transition from preparatory ministry to new covenant reality. The Greek 'baptizo' (immerse) emphasizes total envelopment by the Spirit, not mere external ritual. This promise fulfilled at Pentecost demonstrates God's faithfulness and inaugurates the age of the Spirit.
