The Book of Acts, written by the [[Text:EBD:Luke|apostle Luke]], is the account of early followers of [[Christ]] who, obedient to the [[Great Commission]], began to spread the [[good news]] of a risen Savior throughout the known world. Each section of the book (1-7; 8-12; 13-28) focuses on a particular audience, a key personality, and a significant phase in the expansion of the gospel message. While the apostles are mentioned collectively at several points, this book really records the acts of Peter (1-12) and of Paul (13-28). Some have called the book the "Acts of the Holy Spirit". ---- '''Read [[Matthew Henry's Concise Bible Commentary]] on the [[Text:MHC Concise {{SUBPAGENAME}}|{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]''' ----
