Pentecost is considered the day of the greatest enlightenment.
Luke writes its essence in a long sentence.
It can be seen right there where it says, ‘We are Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamians, Judeans, Cappadocians, Pontians, Asiatics, Phrygians, Pamphylians, Egyptians, Cyrenians, Libyans, visitors from Rome, Jews and those converted to Judaism, Cretans and Arabians.’
Luke is perhaps mentioning the names of all the known countries of that time in one line. What is referred to is the experience wherein people across all boundaries of languages, regions, nations, and beliefs refer to themselves as a “we”, in an inclusive way. That exactly is Pentecost.
Languages have become diverse; peoples that have become diverse; continents have become distant: Pentecost is the loftiest and most sublime dream of the coming closer and coming together to become one - a "we". The Spirit of love, which is the wisdom, the light and life of God, that unites all diversities, is being poured out on humans.
Those who have blocked the springs of love with pride, impurity, hatred, enmity, and lust for power are cutting, spliting, and distancing the world. Some sing war-songs, calling upon the Holy Spirit!
Jesus prepares Peter to receive the Holy Spirit by asking him the question three times. "Simon, do you love me?"
Only from there, where love is professed, can any Pentecost take its beginning.
