true or false.

False. It wasn’t until Pentecost that Jesus told the disciples to receive the Holy Spirit. The disciples were told by Jesus, before his death, that the Holy Spirit would take what belongs to Him then give it to them when he passed away. On the day of the Pentecost, the Holy Spirit poured-out into followers of Jesus after he ascended into heaven.
