"The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble,

Also from Young's; [John 4;21-24] 21 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father; 22 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews 23 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;; 24 God [is] a Spirit, and those worshiping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.

[John 10:30] I and the Father are one."

"the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him; God [is] a Spirit, and those worshiping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship."

So what are you trying to conclude from this?

There is a big difference between the word "a" and the word "the" especially when the word "Holy" is added to it. The words "the Holy Spirit" identify a particular spirit. It is a proper name for a specific spirit.

Even Isaiah recognized that with the use of the word "the" in front of "Spirit". Not just any spirit, or a spirit, but "the Spirit of the Lord God", and Jesus then tells us more regarding his name with the addition of the word: "Holy". His name is "the Holy Spirit".

Who did Jesus send to his apostles when he ascended and sat down next to His Father?
