A:The Jewish Pentecost or Shavuot, celebrated from the second century BCE onwards in memory of the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai, takes place fifty days after Passover. Numbers 11:25 says that on the day of the Jewish Pentecost, the spirit of God came down on the seventy elders and they began to prophesy in ecstasy.

The 'Maltese' Pentecost is the Christian Pentecost and takes place fifty days after Easter, which originally coincided with the Passover. Acts of the Apostles says that on the day of Pentecost, everyone that was in the upper room, was filled with the Holy Spirit coming down on them as tongues of fire and the began to speak in tongues as the spirit gave them the utterance. There are parallels to the earlier account in the story of the Christian Pentecost, which was probably inspired by the Jewish Pentecost.

In which gospel did the Pentecost event occur?

The Pentecost event is described in the book of Acts, not in the Gospels. It is recorded in Acts 2:1-41, where the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and they spoke in other languages, marking the beginning of the Christian Church.


How long after the ascension was Pentecost?

It was 50 days, because Jesus was crucified on the Passover and Pentecost is 50 days after that. This is important because the Jewish feast of Pentecost included the offering of two loaves of unleavened bread representing the first fruits of the harvest (see Lev. 23:17-20 , Deut. 16:9-10), Jesus is the First Fruit of the Harvest, and Pentecost in the Christian Church is also the anniversary of the coming of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2).


How long after Pentecost was Stephen stoned to death?

We don't know the exact timing between Stephen's stoning and Saul's encounter with Jesus. But the answer that neither event happened can only be the answer of someone who doesn't believe in the truth of the Bible. And if a person doesn't believe in the Bible, then the only reason for the person's response is to discount the validity of Jesus. It would be good for this person's answer to be removed.

When was the first Pentecost?

The problem here is that the first pentecost occurred a few months after Jesus' death and resurrection and the precise year of this is uncertain within the span of a year or two...sometime between AD 32 and 33. The disciples had been told by Christ to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. When the day came, they were all gathered together , including Mattias as a replacement for Judas, when suddenly the sound of a rushing wind came from heaven and flaming tongues descended on each of them. It was at that moment they were each filled with the Holy Spirit, and marked the formal, public beginning of the Church. You can find the account of the first pentecost in Acts 2.So the answer to your question specifically is that the first pentecost was in the year of Jesus death and resurrection, AD 32 or 33.
