ACTS. - p. 363

This book, according to internal and external evidence, was written by Luke, and forms the sequel to his Gospel. It is the history of the foundation and spread of the Christian Church, the former under Peter, Acts 1:12, the latter under Paul, Acts 13:28. It was founded on the day of Pentecost; its first sons were Jews; hence, it appeared only as a Jewish sect in Judaea, and the former part of the book is occupied with its establishment there, with arguments in its favor, and with challenges to disprove the fundamental fact of Jesus' resurrection. Its first development into an organized community, with official staff, provoked the first persecution and martyrdom, which precipitated its extension to Samaria and Syria, and caused a new and more independent center of operations to be planted at Antioch, whence, under Paul (the first converted persecutor) it spread to Asia Minor, Greece, Rome, and various parts of the Gentile world.

Acts 2: 4
Acts 9: 17
Acts 15:
6, 7, 9

Acts 3: 2-9

Acts 3:12-26

The motive influence was the direct impulse of the Holy Spirit, not any preconceived plan of an Apostolic body.

In this book all the Articles of the Apostles' creed may be found, chiefly in Peter's speeches. Acts 1:5.

Instantaneous healing. Peter's exhortation.
