In Matthew's Gospel, the disciples never met Jesus in the upper room - they went to a mountain in Galilee, where they saw Jesus.
In Luke's Gospel, Jesus met all the disciples in the upper room on the evening of the day of his resurrection and then took them out towards Bethany, where he was taken bodily up into heaven.
In John's Gospel, Jesus also met the disciples in the upper room on the evening of the day of his resurrection - but only ten of them, Thomas being absent. Jesus returned after eight days and met all the disciples. Later, he met them at the Sea of Galilee.
Mark's Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, with the young man telling the women that Jesus was risen, and the fled in terror, telling no one. The 'Long Ending' (verses 19:9-20), added much later, has Jesus meeting the disciples as in Luke, but does not say when.
What else can I help you with?
What were the apostles doing in the upper room before pentecost?
Waiting and praying. Jesus told them to wait. Acts 1:4-5 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
Did Thomas ever receive the Holy Spirit?
John's Gospel, which Elaine Pagels sees as containing an element of anti-Thomas narrative, has Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit. The Gospel says that Jesus met the disciples in an upper room in Jerusalem, with Thomas absent, and breathed on each of the disciples and gave them the Holy Spirit. He met the disciples again a few days later, when Jesus showed 'Doubting Thomas' his wounds, but did not give him the Holy Ghost. However, Acts of the Apostles was in a somewhat different tradition, in which the disciples clearly had not received the Holy Spirit before Jesus was taken up into heaven. In this story, all the disciples - Thomas included - received the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost.
Where did Jesus meet the disciples after the resurrection?
A:There are some different answers to this depending on the gospel relied on. The reason for this is that the first New Testament gospel to be written, now known as Mark's Gospel, originally ended at verse 16:8, with no appearances of the risen Jesus. When the authors of Matthew and Luke copied mark's Gospel, they had no guidance from Mark as to what happened next yet, working independent of each other, they both wanted to give their readers proof that Jesus had been raised from the dead. Because of a suggestion about Galilee earlier in Mark, Matthew has Jesus meet the disciples at a mountain in Galilee, where he said farewell and sent them to all nations to teach the gospel. Luke has Jesus meet the eleven at a meal in the upper room, in Jerusalem, then he took them out on the road to Bethany, where he was taken bodily up into heaven.John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke, but the Johannine community appears to have been involved in a minor dispute with a community that followed St Thomas as its patron. In the corresponding meeting, Jesus first met only ten of the disciples (with Thomas absent) and breathed on them, saying (John 20:22), "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." Not only did Thomas miss out on receiving the Holy Spirit (John's author was unaware of the account in Acts of the Apostles), but was shown to be a 'Doubting Thomas' when Jesus met all eleven disciples in the same room eight days later. After the two meetings in the upper room, Jesus met the disciples at the Sea of Galilee.The 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) that we now have on Mark's Gospel more or less agrees with Luke and has Jesus meet the disciples at as meal in the upper room in Jerusalem.

The event where the disciples prayed for ten days can be found in the Book of Acts, specifically in Acts 1:4-14.

This period of prayer lasted until the day of Pentecost, when they received the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues.
How many days did the disciples wait in the upper room for the day of Pentecost?
We simply do not know. We can assume that the twelve were there (the 11 original disciples and Matthias who replaced Judas Iscariot after his suicide), but in addition to these it is most likely that other followers of Jesus were there too. These would have included those who were present at his crucifixion (eg Mary, his mother and Mary Magdalene and Salome, as well as others) and probably other followers such as Cleopas and his friend (thetwo men the resurrected Jesus appeared to on the road to Emmaus), John Mark, Lazarus, Mary and Marha from Bethany, Joseph of Arimathea and possibly Nicodemus too. However as to actual numbers nowhere in scripture does it tell us this - only that 'all' the believers were assembled. Actually there were just shy of 120. 13And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 14These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty.
How long did the apostle waited for the Holy Spirit?
50 days is not correct. They were in the upper room 7 days or less. there were 50 days from the time of the crucifixion or (passover) until the day of Pentecost. Jesus was in the lower parts of the earth for 3 days, The Bible also says that he was with the disciples for 40 days. 43-50 = 7. It could be less because the bible is not absolutely clear when the 40 days began that Jesus was with His disciples, most believe that it was from the time that He rose from the dead, but we can take into account that Jesus had not yet ascended to the Father, and had only appeared to His disciples 3 different times the first week after he was raised from the dead, and it was also a sabbath days journey from the place that Jesus ascended from heaven and told the disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Holy Ghost, but a sabbath day's journey is less than 3/4 of a mile, so realistically, it is at most 7 days, and at least one day.
