“Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:”
Until the day he was taken up, after giving commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen — Jesus' resurrected teaching is Spirit-directed, establishing the pattern for the post-resurrection church. The apostles are chosen not by their merit but by Jesus' sovereign selection, continuing the pattern from the Gospel. The focus on commands through the Spirit prefigures the entire book's emphasis on Spirit-directed proclamation.
