59. Receive now the saying of the Lord, that
the same is the Holy Spirit Who is the Spirit of Truth, for you read in
the end of this book: “Receive the Holy
Spirit.” S. John xx. 22. And Peter
teaches that the same is the Holy Spirit Who is the Spirit of the Lord,
when he says: “Ananias, why has it seemed good to thee to
tempt and to lie to the Holy Spirit?” Acts v. 3. And immediately after he says again
to the wife of Ananias: “Why has it seemed good to you to
tempt the Spirit of the Lord?” Acts v. 9. When
he says “to you,” he shows that he is speaking of the same
Spirit of Whom he had spoken to Ananias. He Himself is, then, the
Spirit of the Lord Who is the Holy Spirit.
