AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place, |
Subject: When and where was the Pentecost? |
Bible Note: Tamara, the house was big, but Acts 2:41, the house wasn't that big. However in Acts 2:15 it was around 9am. So, the holy men of God were gathered together for "Shavuot" (pentecost). Shavuot is traditionally practiced by praying all night (without sleeping) then going to the temple for a reading of the law. I am going to make a couple of assumptions. Reading the "Tora" probobly took most of the day(it's long), so you would most likely head to the temple pretty early. So I am going to guess and say that they were filled with the Holy Spirit while they wre praying all night. At around 9am (after they recieved the promise Jesus told them to wait for) they headed off to the temple, since they still were following the Jewish traditions. So, and I'm guessing, when Peter began prophesying they were either on there way to the temple or already there. |
