Bible Question: What was the day of penecost? |
Bible Answer: NIV Study Bible notes: Acts 2:1 Held 50 days after Passover, Pentecost was also called the Feast of Weeks. It was one of three major annual feasts (Deut. 16:16), a festival of thanksgiving for the harvested crops. Jesus was crucified at Passover time, and he ascended 40 days after his resurrection. The Holy Spirit came 50 days after the resurrection, ten days after the ascension. Jews of many nations gathered in Jerusalem for this festival. Thus Peter's speech (2:14 ff) was given to an international audience, and it resulted in a worldwide harvest of new believers--the first converts to Christianity. |
