‏ 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.
