Acts 2:1 - Additional Comments

The Jewish holiday SHAVUOT, is the Feast of Weeks, or First Fruits, or Pentecost. Pentecost is a New Testament word, and in Greek means fiftieth. It marks the giving of the Law (10 Commandments, or Torah) at Mt. Sinai, and also celebrates the first-fruits of the spring grain harvest. See Numbers 28:26, Exodus 23:16, 34:22, Lev 23:15-21, Num 28:16-31, Deut 16:9-12.
In the year 2006, PESACH, or Passover, was Thurs-Fri, April 13-14. SHAVUOT, or Pentecost, was Fri-Sat, June 2-3. (They are always 50 days apart - see Lev 23:15-16.)
Jesus appeared for 40 days (Acts 1:3) after his resurrection, before he was taken up to heaven (Acts 1:9). Therefore, this is about 8 days after his ascension.
What has happened in those 8 days? Mostly prayer (Acts 1:14). They had also selected another twelfth apostle - Matthias. There does not appear to be any preaching yet. They have been incognito. But that changes here.
"They" here refers to the 12 apostles - see verses 14 and 37.
The day of Pentecost had "fully come", which meant the night before and a part of the next day ws fully past.
