Commentary to the Solemnity of PENTECOST – YEAR B

Luke, in the account of the Acts, places the gift of the Spirit at the feast of Pentecost. Why  does he place it there? We know that the Spirit was brought into the world by Jesus and was  given at the moment of his death on Calvary. The evangelist John says that Jesus, in his last  breath, gave up the Spirit. This Spirit is the new nature of the person. This Spirit is no longer  an external law, but a new life that the person has received from heaven.
