Where were the believers waiting for the Holy Spirit prior to Pentecost?

• A. The Temple courts
• B. A private house
• C. The Upper Room
• D. The hillside outside Jerusalem

Answer: (C)

After Jesus returned to heaven, His followers were told to wait in Jerusalem for the Father’s gift, the Holy Spirit. They gathered together in the Upper Room in Jerusalem, praying together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and stayed there as they waited. It is in that specific place that the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost to empower them for witness. The other locations don’t match the biblical account of where they were waiting—the Upper Room is the precise setting described.
