Jesus died on Passover, Nisan 14, was resurrected to earth on Nisan 16, and remained 40 days before his ascension to heaven. Just before he ascended to heaven, he promised he would send the Holy Spirit. ( Acts 1:1-9) With this new ability, provided by the Holy Spirit, they were to preach to the whole world (Matthew 28:19&20)

Sometime after Jesus had gone to heaven, and 'presented his life as a sacrifice to God' (Hebrews 9:11-14), the Spirit, as promised, was poured out at Pentecost. Acts 2:1-4

Afterward, Peter said: " Therefore because he was exalted to the right hand of God and received the promised holy spirit from the Father, he has poured out this which YOU see and hear "(Acts 2:33) (referring to the languages they were now able to speak&the abilities they now had).

This reminded the people that this was the Spirit promised by Jesus, that would be sent after he'd ascended to his father.(John 14:28, 16:28)

History: For many many years, to prefigure the coming of Messiah, on the Jewish month of Nisan 14 the Jewish nation celebrated Passover. On Nisan 16, they observed the 'Barley Harvest'. (Leviticus 23:15, 16)

50 Days afterward, they celebrated Pentecost (which means Fiftieth Day).

Later, in the Christian era, Nisan 14 was when Jesus died. Nisan 16 was when Jesus was raised from the dead,and Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the 120 disciples in the upper room, and they were able to preach 'the Good News of God's Kingdom" to people in different languages.
