What an interesting choice of words! And I suppose it is very true! I was thinking about how He could have been a fence buster, and I think one way was that the Holy Spirit was poured out on both Gentiles and Jews, and the Gospel was taken to the Gentiles. God made us one in Jesus, the Christians who are Gentiles, and the Christians who are Jews.

Simon the sorcerer in the Bible wanted to buy the power of the Holy Spirit. He offered money to the Apostles Peter and John in the Book of Acts, hoping to obtain this power for himself.

Did Thomas ever receive the Holy Spirit?

John's Gospel, which Elaine Pagels sees as containing an element of anti-Thomas narrative, has Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit. The Gospel says that Jesus met the disciples in an upper room in Jerusalem, with Thomas absent, and breathed on each of the disciples and gave them the Holy Spirit. He met the disciples again a few days later, when Jesus showed 'Doubting Thomas' his wounds, but did not give him the Holy Ghost. However, Acts of the Apostles was in a somewhat different tradition, in which the disciples clearly had not received the Holy Spirit before Jesus was taken up into heaven. In this story, all the disciples - Thomas included - received the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost.
