Introduction

Author

This account commonly known as The acts of the missionaries of Yeshua the Messiah, is the continuation of The Good Message according to Lukas, and unlike most other Bibles, the Open English Translation places these two accounts one after the other.

This account

The main purpose of this account is to tell about the actions of the first followers of Yeshua (Jesus) the messiah. God’s spirit helped them to declare the good message about him “in Yerushalem (Jerusalem) and all across the provinces of Yudea (Judaea) and Shomron (Samaria), and all the way to the furthest parts of the planet” (1:8).

This document has three divisions related to the expanding circles as the good message from Yeshua the messiah spread wider and wider: (1) In Yerushalem where the believers start to get organised after Yeshua ascended up into the clouds; (2) the work and the message spreads wider out to all of the district of Yehudah; and (3) spreading more widely again around the Mediterranean Ocean and all the way to Romai/Rome.

It’s also documented here about how God’s spirit came to the believers as they were together in a room in Yerushalem at the Festival of Pentecost (fifty days after The Passover). The spirit helps and gives wisdom and strength to the believers and teachers of believers.

This is still an early look into the unpolished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
