In the upper room in Jerusalem. Acts 2 (look it up) ________________________________________________________

or

Actually, in reading Acts 2, its says...

Acts 2:1 ESV When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.

It is in the previous chapter that it states they were in an upper room...

However, Pentecost (Greek...meaning 50 days) takes place during the appointed time of Shavuot (Hebrew...meaning 7 weeks) or Feast of Weeks. The Feast of Weeks was one of 3 pilgrimage feasts ordained by God (Leviticus 23) ...and more than likely, the Followers of Jesus were on the Southern Stairs of the Temple....celebrating along with the other Righteous Jews who came up from their own countries.

Acts 2:5-6 ESV Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. (6) And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.

The text below is taken from the above website...

"Though it is impossible to pinpoint an exact location for these events, there is significant support for placing this Pentecost event in an area of the Temple. * It was Shavuot. All pilgrims gathered in the temple for the service on this festive and holy day. Certainly, the disciples, who were "continually" in the temple courts (Luke 24:53), would have been in the temple on that day also. * Great crowds from everywhere garnered to listen to Peter and the other disciples. Where would great crowds have garnered on a holy feast day at the time of temple service? Clearly, they would have been in the temple somewhere (Acts 2:6?12). * The disciples were all in one place. The sound of a great wind filled "the whole house" (Acts 2:2) where they were. The temple is still called "the house" by Jewish people, referring to God's house. Even in Acts, it is called "the house" (Acts 7:47) (5). * Peter declared that it was 9:00 in the morning, the time of the Pentecost service in the temple. Certainly, the crowds, to say nothing of the disciples, would have been in the temple at the time Shavuot ceremonies were conducted. Some believe that 9:00 was the time during which the selected passages were read, describing the appearance of God on Mount Sinai (in thunder, lightning, fire, and smoke) and Ezekiel's vision of his appearance (with the sound of wind and with fire). * Peter spoke of the tomb of David as being there (Acts 2:29). The Bible recorded that David was buried in the "City of David" (1 Kings 2:10), the part of Jerusalem located near the temple Mount. * Three thousand people were baptized in response to the teaching of the disciples (Acts 2:41). Near the Southern Stairs, the pilgrim entrance to the Temple Mount, were mikvoth, ritual baths used by the worshipers before they entered the temple grounds. There were not many places in Jerusalem with enough water for that many baptisms. The proximity of these many pools, already believed to symbolize the removal of the uncleanness of sin, is evidence that this location was near the temple. "
