Jesus' disciples
Pentecost was the event that empowered the disciples of Jesus to carry out the great commission. Luke 24:44-49 records Jesus' meeting with his disciples after his resurrection. Here he connected the things that had happened to him, namely his suffering, death, and resurrection, with the greater plan of "repentance and forgiveness of sins ... to be proclaimed in his name to all nations..." (v. 47) that was being given to the disciples. He added that the disciples would be "clothed with power" as promised by the Father in order to carry out their purpose. He told them to wait in the city until they had been "clothed with power from on high" (v. 49b) They would only be able to carry out the great commission by this power. As an analogy: if the disciples were robots programmed with the great commission, Pentecost was when God but their batteries in and gave them the power to do it!
