Study note

Setting — The narrative describes the disciples gathered together at the precise moment the Jewish festival of Pentecost arrives.

The words — συμπληροῦσθαι (sumplērousthai) = arriving/completing; πεντηκοστῆς (pentēkostēs) = of Pentecost.

The thread — The motif of unified gathering recurs in Acts 1:13, Romans 15:6, and Philippians 2:2.

Why it lands — The text establishes coordinated physical presence as the direct precondition for the subsequent event, requiring the reader to track how spatial unity precedes divine action.
