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.
