Acts

The book of Acts begins with Jesus' ascension into heaven and the apostles' return to Jerusalem, where they prayed and chose a replacement for Judas. The Holy Spirit descended on the disciples on the day of Pentecost, and Peter preached about Jesus, resulting in the conversion of about 3,000 people. The apostles continued to perform miracles and preach about Jesus, leading to the growth of the church. However, they also faced persecution, and Stephen was stoned to death after delivering a speech about the history of Israel and the coming of Jesus. Saul, who had been persecuting the disciples, was converted on the road to Damascus and became a key figure in the spread of Christianity. The apostles, including Peter and Paul, traveled to various cities, preaching about Jesus and performing miracles, despite facing opposition and persecution. The church in Jerusalem sent a letter to the Gentile churches, stating that they did not need to be circumcised or keep the law of Moses to be saved. Paul and his companions traveled to various cities, preaching and establishing churches, and Paul was eventually arrested and put on trial, but he continued to preach about Jesus and was eventually sent to Rome, where he was allowed to live under house arrest and preach about the kingdom of God.
