It was the Holy Spirit that prepared for his coming in the person of John the Baptist (Luke 1:1 5-17, 67). It was the Holy Spirit that "overshadowed" Mary his mother (Luke 1:35). And it was the Holy Spirit that inspired the devout Simeon in the temple to foretell the child's destiny as "the Lord's messiah" and a "light to the gentiles" (Luke 2:25-26). It was the Holy Spirit that descended upon him in baptism (Luke 3:22), led him into the wilderness for testing (Luke 4:1) and filled him for his return to Galilee (Luke 4:14). There, in his first public appearance in the synagogue at Nazareth, Jesus stood up and read from the prophet "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me . . ." (Luke 4:16-21). Luke reported Jesus' announcement to his disciples that he would send "what my Father promised" (Luke 24:49), and in Acts of the Apostles this was the Holy Spirit that "came upon" the disciples at Pentecost (Acts 1-2).
The modern reverence for the Holy Spirit is probably due in large part to the writings attributed to Luke.
