Background of the Book

The Book of Acts begins where Luke’s Gospel left off. It starts with the 40 days that followed the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the remarkable evidence that he was alive. We might think of the Book of Acts as the story following the challenge given by Jesus Christ in what we know as ‘The Great Commission,’ where Jesus said: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

Paul's Second & Third Missionary Journeys

Paul’s second missionary journey happened between about 49 and 52 AD. It was a trip that took Paul and his companions from Antioch through Cilicia, Galatia, Phrygia, and Asia Minor. Then it was over the Aegean Sea to Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens. Paul ended the long journey with a year and a half at Corinth, before making his way back to where it all started, Antioch.

Paul on Trial

After three long journeys around the Mediterranean, Paul returned to Jerusalem to give a report to James and the elders about the spread of the Gospel among the nations. Regardless of his success, Paul was promptly accused of drummed-up charges by the Jewish authorities. To avoid a riot and possible execution in Jerusalem, Roman soldiers intervened and took custody of Paul, moving him to the coastal city of Caesarea.
