| 總結: | Luke’s use of pneu͂ma hágion stands out from the other phrases that he utilises in Luke-Acts, due to its anarthrous form. While most scholars understand the anarthrous phrase pneu͂ma hágion as a one-of-a-kind expression, the presence of other pneu͂ma, both divine and human, in Luke-Acts indicates that the anarthrous phrase pneu͂ma hágion might refer to something other than the Holy Spirit. In this article, I posit that the anarthrous phrase pneu͂ma hágion refers to a holy human spirit in Luke 4:1 and Acts 2:4. That is, pneu͂ma hágion describes the resultant state of the human spirit after the Holy Spirit has come upon a person.
