A.D. 63-65, or 66, or possibly as late as A.D. 66-68 Martyrdom at Rome Aprox 2 year between Pentecost and Pauls conversion, then we know Paul was aprox 3 years with Christ and Jesus revealing Himself in Paul. This is a very good aproximate of Paul and His ministry. It certainly shows that at Pentecost they knew something had taken place, but did not know or remember the birthing Jesus told Nicodemus must take place to understand the things of God. That is why Paul is so important to the Church, Paul reveals the Christ in the believer and says that is the final gospel to usward in the fulness of time, "Colossians 1:21-29 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
They did not know this at Pentecost, that is why Paul was sent to the Gentile Church, that we might know the mystery of Christ in you the Hope of Glory.
