When was the Feast of Pentecost celebrated in relation to Passover?
The Feast of Pentecost was celebrated on the 50th day after Passover, as one of the seven feasts listed in Leviticus 23. It occurred fifty days following Passover, marking a distinct Jewish feast day when Jews from across the known world gathered.
Les explains that the Feast of Pentecost was one of the seven feasts listed in Leviticus 23, alongside Passover, Unleavened Bread, and Firstfruits. It fell on the 50th day after Passover. On this day, Jews from all over the then-known world had gathered in the temple area to celebrate. It was a Jewish feast day, a Jewish crowd, a Jewish speaker, and a Jewish message. Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke, and everyone heard in their own language. Les emphasizes that no Gentiles are mentioned in this context.
