This chronology in which Pentecost occurred on May 18 does not square with other dates we are given. That this passage regarding Pentecost is May 18 is established at 193:5.1. Jesus was crucified on April 7 (185:0.1, 187:3.1), the day before Passover, which was April 8 (187:5.7). The ascension took place the morning of May 18 (193:5.1), and the bestowal of the Spirit of Truth later that day, which was also the day of Pentecost (194:1.1). Since the day of Pentecost is seven weeks (50 days, actually) after the day of Passover (125:1.5), Pentecost should have been on May 28 rather than May 18.

Original Paragraph:

^{P2060:1, 194:1.1} The apostles had been in hiding for forty days. This day happened to be the Jewish festival of Pentecost, and thousands of visitors from all parts of the world were in Jerusalem. Many arrived for this feast, but a majority had tarried in the city since the Passover. Now these frightened apostles emerged from their weeks of seclusion to appear boldly in the temple, where they began to preach the new message of a risen Messiah. And all the disciples were likewise conscious of having received some new spiritual endowment of insight and power.
