Jesus' followers received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and became filled and equipped to spread the good news that would restore God's Kingdom over the world. Through persecution, followers of Jesus were scattered, but they continued to preach, and the church at Antioch was born.

This church grew into the first multiethnic, international Jesus community, from which missionaries were sent throughout the world to preach about Jesus, the Jewish Messiah and risen King of all nations. Paul even continued to preach despite imprisonment and wrote important letters to the churches.

The book of The Acts of the Apostles was written by the same author as that of the Gospel of Luke. Both books are addressed to ‘Theophilus’, which in Greek means friend of God or (be)loved by God or loving God. The Gospel of Luke was probably written between 80 and 90 C.E. and The Acts of the Apostles probably in the decade following.
The text originates from an event. It links /aligns with the Jewish festival Shavout (or the Feast of Weeks) which refers to the fifty days after the Passover. The Pentecost events also align with the handing down of the Ten Commandments to Moses marking the gathering of Israel (Delivery to the promised land after the Exodus from Egypt).
