Acts 1:7-8
1:8 a This key verse outlines the geographical extension of the Good News from its Jewish starting point in Jerusalem and Judea (1:6–8:1 b), out to Samaria (8:4-25 c), Antioch in Syria (11:19-30 d), and eventually throughout the Mediterranean world to Rome (13:1–28:31 e). Christ later gave a similar call to be his witnesses ... to the ends of the earth to Saul of Tarsus (9:15 f), who had persecuted the Jewish Christians and then became the primary instrument for taking the Good News to the Gentiles.• The Holy Spirit was the source of power for all this evangelistic and missionary effort.
