There were 120 in the upper room (vs 15) tarrying in prayer..they cast lots for the 12th apostle. There is no indication that they were not there on the day of Pentecost. All were filled. If they had left and only the 12 were left God would have had that clarified somewhere else in scripture, don't you think? In Jesus Christ, |

I must concede. You are correct about the 120 being in the upper room. Acts 1:13 When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. 14 These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. 15 At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said, 16 "Brethren, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 "For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry." 18 (Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. 19 And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 "For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'LET HIS HOMESTEAD BE MADE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE DWELL IN IT'; and, 'LET ANOTHER MAN TAKE HIS OFFICE.' 21 "Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us-- 22 beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." 23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen 25 to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." 26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. Here is where grammatical syntax comes into play. Based on the NASB translation, the word "they" in Acts 2:1 being a pronoun, would modify the first previous noun, which in this case is "apostles", the now twelve apostles. Also, how much time had passed between when the 120 were in the upper room and "When the day of Pentecost had come"? I myself do not know at this time but are we to assume that they ALL stayed in the upper room during this period of time? Acts 2:1 says they were all together in one place, but doesn't mention this place to be the upper room. God could have made this more clear too. Another point is Acts 2:7 They were amazed and astonished, saying, "Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?" Are we to assume that all 120 disciples were Galileans? God may have already clarified it. It will just take further study to find the truth. |

FTimA, "Also, how much time had passed between when the 120 were in the upper room and "When the day of Pentecost had come"? I myself do not know at this time but are we to assume that they ALL stayed in the upper room during this period of time?" According to Scripture , Acts 1:3, Jesus ascended 40 days after his death and resurrection. Pentecost was 50 days after the Passover on the Jewish calender. It is taken that those gathered and living in the upper room praying as Christ commnaded. For nine days they prayered and on the tenth day, Pentecost, the Holy Spirit decended upon them. Emmaus |
