Commentary to the Solemnity of PENTECOST – YEAR BLuke, 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.
