Those living or dwelling there permanently were from born from twelve different nations, but those sorjourning were there for the feast both Jewish and proselyte (converts to Judiasm) from Rome; Cretans and Arabs. They were dispersed Jewish "dwellers" (dispersed Jews who took up residence) IN Jerusalem because, according to Luke 2:25 and 38, they were waiting for the Messiah to come and save Israel. These dispersed Jews actually living in and took residence in Jerusalem were originally born from 12 other nations and three different dispersions. These 12 different countries represented the those actually living in Jerusalem, and they were there on the Day of Pentecost. They composed of: (1) Parthians, and (2) Medes, and (3) Elamites, (4) and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, (5) and Judaea, (6) and Cappadocia, (7) Pontus and (8) Asia, (9) Phrygia and (10) Pamphylia, (11) Egypt, (12) and the parts of Libya which is near to Cyrene. There were also in the crowd on that day of Pentecost sorjourners or visitors from Rome, Crete and Arabia who simply came to keep the Jewish feast of Pentecost, and were not necesarily awaiting for the Messiah to save Israel. They were Jews and those converted to Judiasm. So, there were Jewish dwellers in Jerusalem from 12 different nations. The sojourners are simply travelers that may or may not have been born in Rome or Crete or Arabia.

What is the difference between the Jewish Pentecost and the Maltese pentecost?

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.


What is Pentecost the Jewish celebration of?

A:The Jewish Pentecost, also known as Shavuot, has striking similarities to the Christian Pentecost, but commemorates an earlier event, the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai. It takes place fifty days after Passover, just as the Christian Pentecost takes place fifty days after Easter. Numbers 11:25 tells us that on that occasion, the spirit of God came down on the seventy elders and they began to prophesy in ecstasy, just as Acts chapter 2 tells of the Holy Spirit coming down on those in the upper room and they spoke in tongues as the spirit gave them the utterance. The Christian Pentecost story is a completely different celebration, but was seemingly inspired by the Jewish one.
