- Scholars generally agree that Pentecost in Acts 2 occurred in A.D. 30, in the last week of May.[1] The biblical text itself does not specify an exact year—Luke omits references to exact dates[1]—but this dating represents scholarly consensus based on the chronological framework of Acts and what is known about the timing of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection.
