This verse-by-verse Bible study and commentary of The Acts of the Apostles ("The Book of Acts" or simply "Acts") is in-depth but uses plain language that everyone can understand, as well as a format that will engage you. The Book of Acts is a fast-moving historical account of the first three decades of the church. Acts begins in Jerusalem just ...
The book of Acts is about Jesus leading his people through the Spirit to go out into the world and invite all nations to live under his reign. The story will begin with that message spreading in Jerusalem (chs. 2-7), into the neighboring regions of Judea and Samaria full of non-Jewish people (chs. 8-12), and from there out to the nations and the ends of the earth (chs. 13-28).

- THE ASCENSION OF JESUS. v. 1-2 The book of the Acts of the Apostles was written by Luke, the beloved physician. He also wrote the Gospel of Luke.
- THE FIRST GOSPEL MESSAGE PREACHED. v. 1 The Feast of Pentecost celebrated the harvest. The people offered the first fruits to God. v. 4 The Holy Spirit gives us the power to live the life that God wants us to live.
- THE LAME MAN HEALED. v. 1 The "ninth" hour is three p.m. v. 2 "Lame from his mother's womb" indicates a congenital malformation. v. 7 Luke, as a physician, gives a medical description of a lame man's healing.
- THE PRAYER OF THE CHURCH. v. 1-2 Though the Pharisees were the instigators of Christ's death, the Sadducees were the persecutors of the early Church.
The book of Acts provides a bridge for the writings of the NT. As a second volume to Luke's Gospel, it joins what Jesus "began to do and to teach" ( 1:1 ; see note there) as told in the Gospels with what he continued to do and teach through the apostles' preaching and the establishment of the church.
