First sentence: Give commentators who are to provide background for preachers, exegetes-for-a-day like me, a text like Acts 8:14-17, and you pose us precisely where we do not want to be - if our goal is to anticipate what hearers might want or need to hear and what of the good news might come through preaching on each text.
