Listen to Atti 11:15
15 E come avevo cominciato a parlare, lo Spirito Santo scese su loro, com’era sceso su noi da principio.

Atti 11:15 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 11:15

And as I began to speak
, That is, whilst he was speaking; the word "begin" with Luke, both, in his Gospel and in this history, is used not to denote the time or order of any action, but the thing itself; as in ( Luke 4:21 ) ( 20:9 ) ( Acts 1:1 ) for otherwise it was towards the close, and not at the beginning of his discourse, that what follows happened:

the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning;
of our ministry, since the death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ; meaning on the day of Pentecost, and that the Holy Ghost fell on Cornelius and those that were with him, in a like visible form, and in the same kind of gifts, as speaking with tongues, as on them.

Atti 11:15 In-Context

13 Ed egli ci raccontò come avea veduto l’angelo che si era presentato in casa sua e gli avea detto: Manda a Ioppe, e fa chiamare Simone, soprannominato Pietro;
14 il quale ti parlerà di cose, per le quali sarai salvato tu e tutta la casa tua.
15 E come avevo cominciato a parlare, lo Spirito Santo scese su loro, com’era sceso su noi da principio.
16 Mi ricordai allora della parola del Signore, che diceva: "Giovanni ha battezzato con acqua, ma voi sarete battezzati con lo Spirito Santo".
17 Se dunque Iddio ha dato a loro lo stesso dono che ha dato anche a noi che abbiam creduto nel Signor Gesù Cristo, chi ero io da potermi opporre a Dio?
