1:10 The expression the heavens splitting apart indicates Jesus’ unique access to God the Father; in 15:38, the same verb includes believers in that access through Jesus’ death. • All four Gospels refer to the Spirit descending on him like a dove. The Spirit, who was involved in the first creation, acted with Jesus in bringing the new creation (Gen 1:2; Rom 8:15-17; 1 Cor 6:11; Eph 1:13-14; 2 Thes 2:13).
