The death and resurrection of Jesus that effects the resurrection of Israel means also for Luke the inclusion of the Gentiles, as the Spirit is poured out on people of all nations, creating a restored and unified people that the new-covenant prophets barely imagined.113 The Spirit enables the apostles and others to live communally and hospitably, welcome Jews and Gentiles alike, preach the good news and prophesy, forgive sins, forgive enemies, heal, suffer faithfully for the good news, and generally continue the activity and mission of Jesus.
