The Acts of the Apostles (Ancient Greek: Πράξεις τῶν Ἀποστόλων, Práxeis tôn Apostólōn; Latin: Āctūs Apostolōrum), often referred to simply as Acts, is the fifth book of the New Testament; it tells of the founding of the Christian church and the spread of its message to the Roman empire.
Acts and the Gospel of Luke make up a two-part work, Luke–Acts, by the same anonymous author, usually dated to around 80-90 AD. The first part, the Gospel of Luke, tells how God fulfilled his plan for the world's salvation through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Messiah. Acts continues the story of Christianity in the 1st century, beginning with Jesus' Ascension to Heaven. The early chapters, set in Jerusalem, describe the Day of Pentecost (the coming of the Holy Spirit) and the growth of the church in Jerusalem. Initially the Jews are receptive to the Christian message, but soon they turn against the followers of Jesus. Rejected by the Jews, under the guidance of the Apostle Peter the message is taken to the Gentiles. The later chapters tell of Paul's conversion, his mission in Asia Minor and the Aegean, and finally his imprisonment in Rome, where, as the book ends, he awaits trial.

Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152) The speech that Stephen gives before his accusers in Acts shows how the author of Luke-Acts used and edited his sources. So, also, does the description of the destruction of Jerusalem in Luke, as compared to that in Mark. The major themes of Luke-Acts are 1) the Gospel going first to the Jews and then to gentiles and 2) that of the prophet-martyr, with Jesus as the prophet-martyr par excellence. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Fifty days after the Easter celebrations, Pentecost (Shabu’ot) is celebrated in Jerusalem. The eleven apostles and a hundred or so of Jesus’ disciples meet for the occasion at Mark’s house. They all elect Matthias to occupy the place left vacant by Judas. Anxiety about the future - combined with the expectancy of Jesus’ return - is dispelled by a prodigious event: the Holy Spirit descends on Mark’s house and enters the Apostles, who are filled with renewed vigour. They cast aside their fears and leave their hideaway to begin preaching. On that same day, Peter and the other Apostles baptise hundreds of people in the stream called Cedron. Among these is a young man who begins to tell the story of Jesus’ disciples, the spread of his word in the world, the conversion and apostolate of Saul, hi...
