The Acts of the Apostles, the second volume of Luke's two-volume work, continues Luke's presentation of biblical history, describing how the salvation promised to Israel in the Old Testament and accomplished by Jesus has now under the guidance of the holy Spirit been extended to the Gentiles. This was accomplished through the divinely chosen representatives (Acts 10:41) whom Jesus prepared during his historical ministry (Acts 1:21-22) and commissioned after his resurrection as witnesses to all that he taught (Acts 1:8; 10:37-43; Luke 24:48). (...) - The principal divisions of the Acts of the Apostles are the following: I. The Preparation for the Christian Mission (Acts 1:1-2:13) II. The Mission in Jerusalem (Acts 2:14-8:3) III. The Mission in Judea and Samaria (Acts 8:4-9:43) IV. The Inauguration of the Gentile Mission (Acts 10:1-15:35) V. The Mission of Paul to the Ends of the Earth (Acts 15:36-28:31) - (NAB)
