About the Book of Acts
The name of this book, ‘Acts’, is short for ‘The Acts of the Apostles’. It tells us what the apostles and other Christians did after Jesus went back to heaven.
Luke probably wrote this book in about the year AD 63. Luke was probably not a Jew but he became a disciple of Jesus. #1:0 A Jew was someone who belonged to the Israelite tribe of Judah. The name was first used at the time of their exile in Babylon. The people of Israel who still remain after that time are called Jews. He was a doctor, and he was one of Paul's friends. Sometimes he went with Paul when Paul travelled from country to country. He went to Rome with Paul and he stayed there with him. #1:0 Rome was an important city in the world at the time of Jesus. It was a powerful city and it had a strong army. The Romans ruled many other countries and they made the people obey the laws of Rome. They made them pay taxes to Rome. So he saw many of the things that he tells us about in the book.
Luke wrote this book to send to Theophilus. This is the second book that Luke wrote for him. The first book is called ‘The Gospel of Luke’. In Acts, Luke tells us how God first gave his Holy Spirit to people who believed in Jesus. He tells how the apostles continued to serve Jesus in Jerusalem and in many other places. #1:0 Jerusalem was the capital city of Israel, the land that God gave to his people, the Israelites. The temple of God was in Jerusalem. He tells us how more and more people believed in Jesus. He also describes how some Christians argued with each other about Christian teaching. Some of these were Jewish believers and some were Gentile believers.
Luke also tells us that the leaders of the Jews did not believe in Jesus. They wanted the apostles to stop teaching people about Jesus. So they caused a lot of trouble for the believers.
