When did the Apostles receive the gift of the Holy Spirit?
AnswerThe apostles received the gift of the Holy Spirit on either of two occasions, depending on which source is used: In John's Gospel at 20:22, Jesus breathed on the ten apostles (with Thomas absent) and gave them the Holy Spirit in the upper room on the evening of his resurrection. Elaine Pagels says there is a thread of anti-Thomas sentiment in this Gospel, and this is demonstrated by the omission of Thomas.In Acts of the Apostles, the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles on the day of the Pentecost, more than forty days after the resurrection of Jesus.
How many times did the disciples receive the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit seems to have been needed only once, to impart the powers required by an apostle. John's Gospel says that on the day of his resurrection, Jesus breathed on the apostles in the upper room, giving them the Holy Spirit. Acts of the Apostles says that the Holy Spirit came down like tongues of flame on the day of the Pentecost and sat on each of the apostles.This anomaly can be explained because the author of Actscertainly did not know of the existence of John's Gospel, while the author of John probably did not know of the existence of Acts, even though he did know of the somewhat earlier Luke's Gospel. Each sought to demonstrate that the apostles received the Holy Spirit, and each provided his own unique account.
Why did Jesus breathe on his apostles?
In the Gospel of John, Jesus breathed on his apostles to give them the Holy Spirit and empower them for their mission to spread the good news of salvation. This act symbolized the giving of the Holy Spirit and the commissioning of the apostles to carry out their ministry.
What would have happened to the Church if the Holy Spirit had not come to the apostles on the Day of the Pentecost?
A:The Holy Spirit is reported in Acts 2:1-4 as coming to the apostles some forty days after the Resurrection of Jesus, on the Day of Pentecost, as tongues of flame. A little-known account in John's Gospel (John 20:22) also has the disciples receiving the Holy Spirit when Jesus breathed on them, on the same day as the Resurrection. Had the author of Acts not reported the disciples receiving the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, no doubt the parallel account in John's Gospel would have received greater prominence, with the Church proceeding much as it did.
