451

When did the disciples receive the Holy Ghost?

John: “And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost” ([xx, 22]).

This was on the evening of the resurrection. Forty days after this he said to them: “Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence” ([Acts i, 5]).

Acts: “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come ... they were all filled with the Holy Ghost” ([ii, 1–4]).

This was seven weeks after the resurrection.
