When the day of Pentecost was fully come (Acts 2:1)

The term "Pentecost" comes from the Greek for "fifty." This ancient festival, also called the Feast of Weeks, occurred fifty days after Passover, i.e. on the fiftieth day, counting the days inclusively according to Hebrew custom (see Lev. 23:15-21; I Kings 8). Commemorating God's ancient covenant with His people, it came to signify the new and spiritual covenant of Christianity.
