Jesus ascended to

heaven from the

Mount of Olives,
outside Jerusalem,
and his followers
returned to the city to
await the infilling of the
Holy Spirit, which
occurred at Pentecost. Peter gave a powerful sermon that was heard by Jews from
across the empire. The Jerusalem church grew, but Stephen was martyred for his
faith by Jewish leaders who did not believe in Jesus (1:1–7:60).

Samaria

After Stephen’s death, persecution of Christians intensified, but it caused the

believers to leave Jerusalem and spread the gospel to other cities in the empire.
Philip took the gospel into Samaria, and even to a man from Ethiopia (8:1-40).

Syria

Paul (Saul) began his story as a persecutor of Christians, only to be met by Jesus
himself on the road to Damascus. He became a believer, but his new faith caused
opposition, so he returned to Tarsus, his home, for safety. Barnabas sought out Paul
in Tarsus and brought him to the church in Antioch of Syria, where they worked
together. Meanwhile, Peter had received a vision that led him to Caesarea, where he
presented the gospel to a Gentile family, who became believers (9:1–12:25).
