When the day of Pentecost came
The term "Pentecost" is derived from the Greek word "Pentēkostē," meaning "fiftieth." This refers to the Jewish Feast of Weeks, celebrated fifty days after Passover. Historically, Pentecost was a time of thanksgiving for the harvest, but it also commemorated the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai. In the context of Acts 2, Pentecost marks a pivotal moment in Christian history—the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This event signifies the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to send the Helper (John 14:16) and marks the birth of the Church. Theologically, it represents the transition from the Old Covenant, centered on the Law, to the New Covenant, centered on the Spirit.

they were all together
The phrase "they were all together" emphasizes the unity and communal aspect of the early believers. The Greek word "homou" suggests a sense of togetherness not just in physical presence but in purpose and spirit. This unity is a recurring theme in Acts, highlighting the importance of fellowship and collective prayer in the life of the Church. The early Christians' unity serves as a model for the Church today, reminding believers of the power and necessity of coming together in faith and mission.

in one place
The phrase "in one place" indicates a specific location where the disciples gathered. While the exact location is not specified, it is traditionally believed to be the Upper Room in Jerusalem, where the Last Supper took place. This setting is significant as it ties the events of Pentecost to the Passion of Christ, creating a continuity between Jesus' ministry and the birth of the Church. Theologically, being "in one place" also symbolizes the gathering of God's people, echoing the prophetic vision of unity and restoration found in the Old Testament (e.g., Ezekiel 37:21-22). This gathering sets the stage for the Holy Spirit's descent, underscoring the importance of being in the right place, both physically and spiritually, to receive God's promises.

II.

(1) When the day of Pentecost was fully come.--It is natural to assume a purpose in the divine choice of the day on which the disciples were thus to receive the promise of the Father. That choice may have been determined, if one may so speak, either in view of the circumstances of the feast, or of its history and symbolic fitness.

(1) Of all the feasts of the Jewish year, it was that which attracted the largest number of pilgrims from distant lands. The dangers of travel by sea or land in the early spring or late autumn (comp. Acts 27:9) prevented their coming in any large numbers to the Passover or the Feast of Tabernacles. At no other feast would there have been representatives of so many nations. So, it may be noted, it was the Feast of Pentecost that St. Paul went up to keep once and again, during his mission-work in Greece and Asia. (See Notes on Acts 18:21; Acts 20:16.) So far, then, there was no time on which the gift of the Spirit was likely to produce such direct and immediate results.

Verse 1. - Was now come for was fully come, A.V.; all together for with one accord, A.V. and T.R. When the day of Pentecost was now come; literally, when the day of Pentecost - i.e., of the fiftieth day - was in the course of being completed. The fiftieth day (reckoned from the end of the 16th of Nisan, on which Jesus was crucified) was actually come, but was not ended (comp. Luke 9:11). All together; ὁμοῦ for ὁμοθυμαδόν: but ὁμοθυμαδόν - a favorite word in the Acts (Acts 4:24, note) - seems preferable to ὁμοῦ, which occurs only in St. John. In one place (see Acts 1:15, note). The purpose, doubtless, of their coming together was for prayer, as in Acts 1:14; and the third hour (9 a.m., ver. 15), the hour of offering the morning sacrifice, was close at hand (comp. Acts 3:1 and Luke 1:10).
