Quick answer

On the day of Pentecost the believers are gathered together with one accord. It sets the stage for the promised outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost, a Jewish feast fifty days after Passover, drew many pilgrims to Jerusalem. The believers' unity and togetherness fulfill Jesus' command to wait. This appointed feast becomes the setting for the Spirit's coming and the birth of the church.
