The Coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost

The Day of Pentecost was a Jewish feast, but it became the day when God poured out the Holy Spirit on the first followers of Jesus. The disciples were together in one place, united in prayer and expectation, just as Jesus had told them to wait. This event marks the beginning of the Christian church’s public witness. God chose this time so that people from many nations, who were in Jerusalem for the festival, could hear the gospel in their own languages.

v. 1: When the Day of Pentecost arrived, all the disciples were together in one place (When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place Acts 2:1 ^a). This unity and obedience to Jesus’ command showed their faith and readiness to receive God’s promise. Pentecost was originally a Jewish harvest festival, celebrated fifty days after Passover. Now, it becomes the day when God begins to gather the harvest of souls for his kingdom, starting with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
