Acts 10:38
King James Version
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good,
and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
for God was with him.
How did the HOLY SPIRIT manifest Himself in JESUS?
What was JESUS able to do because of SPIRIT?
How did people react to His power?
First, we need to know this:
(We highlighted in red, proof of SPIRIT's presence.)
Matthew 1:18-20
King James Version
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,
before they came together,
she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband,
being a just man,
and not willing to make her a public example,
was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things,
behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared unto him
in a dream, saying,
Joseph, thou son of David,
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for that which is conceived in her
is of the Holy Ghost.
Mary was "found with child of the Holy ghost".
JESUS is "of the Holy Ghost".
Thus, JESUS is of the SPIRIT.
Is it any wonder SPIRIT's power in JESUS?
Many verses, and miracles, attest to that.
As in this chapter from Luke:
Luke 4:1-4
King James Version
4 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost
returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the devil.
And in those days he did eat nothing:
and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
3 And the devil said unto him,
If thou be the Son of God,
command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying,
It is written,
That man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word of God.
Luke 4:5-8
King James Version
5 And the devil,
taking him up into an high mountain,
shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world
in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto him,
All this power will I give thee,
and the glory of them:
for that is delivered unto me;
and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Get thee behind me, Satan:
for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.
Luke 4:9-13
King James Version
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem,
and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,
and said unto him,
If thou be the Son of God,
cast thyself down from hence:
10 For it is written,
He shall give his angels charge over thee,
to keep thee:
11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said unto him,
It is said,
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation,
he departed from him for a season.
Luke 4:14-16
King James Version
14 And Jesus returned
in the power of the Spirit into Galilee:
and there went out a fame of him
through all the region round about.
15 And he taught in their synagogues,
being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up:
and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue
on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke 4:17-21
King James Version
17 And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esaias.
And when he had opened the book,
he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor;
he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to preach deliverance to the captives,
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book,
and he gave it again to the minister,
and sat down.
And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them,
This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Luke 4:28-32
King James Version
28 And all they in the synagogue,
when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city,
and led him unto the brow of the hill
whereon their city was built,
that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he passing through the midst of them
went his way,
31 And came down to Capernaum,
a city of Galilee,
and taught them on the sabbath days.
32 And they were astonished at his doctrine:
for his word was with power.
Luke 4:33-34
King James Version
33 And in the synagogue there was a man,
which had a spirit of an unclean devil,
and cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let us alone;
what have we to do with thee,
thou Jesus of Nazareth?
art thou come to destroy us?
I know thee who thou art;
the Holy One of God.
Luke 4:35-37
King James Version
35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying,
Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
And when the devil had thrown him in the midst,
he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all amazed,
and spake among themselves, saying,
What a word is this!
for with authority and power he commandeth
the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 And the fame of him went out
into every place of the country round about.
Luke 4:38-39
King James Version
38 And he arose out of the synagogue,
and entered into Simon's house.
And Simon's wife's mother was taken
with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
39 And he stood over her,
and rebuked the fever;
and it left her:
and immediately she arose
and ministered unto them.
Luke 4:40
King James Version

all they that had any sick with divers diseases
brought them unto him;
and he laid his hands on every one of them,
and healed them.

crying out, and saying,
Thou art Christ the Son of God.

he departed and went into a desert place:
and the people sought him,
and came unto him,
and stayed him,
that he should not depart from them.

I must preach the kingdom of God
to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
