No, those verses were applicable to those who witnessed Christ working miracle's by the power of the Spirit

Whoaa! Back up. Are you saying that Christ accomplished His miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit?

Whoaa! Back up. Are you saying that Christ accomplished His miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit?

Sure. Here, I would use "by" or "in" interchangeably. For example:

Luke 4:14 : Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.

John 3:34 : For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.

Acts 2:22 : "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.

I wouldn't get too caught up in whether it was by the power of Christ VS. by the power of the Spirit VS. by the power of the Father. The point here was that the Spirit was clearly alive and active in (and leading) Christ when this all went down.
