What events does Acts of the Apostles describe from Jesus' Resurrection to Paul's career?

The Acts of the Apostles chronicles the development of the early church from the Ascension of Jesus in Jerusalem to the arrival of St. Paul in Rome.12

The narrative is generally divided into two primary sections:

• The Jerusalem Mission (Chapters 1–12): This period centers on the Apostles, particularly St. Peter. It begins with the Pentecost event, where the Holy Spirit descends upon the disciples, marking the symbolic birth of the church. During this time, the gospel begins to spread beyond Jewish limits, notably through Peter’s ministry.134
• The Gentile Mission (Chapters 13–28): This section focuses on Paul’s missionary journeys, which trace a path from Jerusalem toward the capital of the Roman Empire. Key events include the Council of Jerusalem (c. 49 ce), which established that Gentile converts were not required to follow Jewish circumcision laws. The book concludes with Paul under house arrest in Rome, where he continues to preach the gospel openly.32
