“And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:”
Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. — the explicit inclusion of servants (douloi, slaves; and doulon, female servants) shows radical equality in the Spirit's gifting; social status (slave/free, male/female) is erased in Spirit-empowerment. This subverts ancient social hierarchies and anticipates Galatians 3:28's theological vision of baptismal equality.
