The Holy Spirit came to the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. The Day of Pentecost was fifty days after Passover. Read Acts chapter 2.

Specifically, at Acts 2:17+18, Peter brings out that this event was actually fulfillment of prophecy from Joel 2:28+29. "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.'

The disciples experienced the gift of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, which is 50 days after Easter. Acts 2:1-4 describes how the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in the form of tongues of fire, empowering them to speak in different languages and carry out their mission to spread the teachings of Jesus.

A:

Acts 2:1-4 tells of the Holy Spirit descending on the apostles on the day of Pentecost: "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."

Under the power of the Holy Spirit, the disciples began to speak in other languages and everyone understood them. This should be read with caution, since the dramatic sound of rushing wind and the cloven tongues of fire seem more intended to impress the reader than actually necessary to provide divine inspiration to the disciples. The ability to speak in other tongues seems to have been only temporary, as the early Christians seem not to have expected the disciples to speak in other languages at any other time, nor to have been given the ability to write. When attributing one of the gospels to Mark, acting as the interpreter and secretary for Peter, Papias took it as a matter of course that Peter needed a literate scribe.
