Explicado para niños

Imagine you're at school and your friend is telling everyone about a really cool game they found. They keep talking about it for weeks because they want others to know how great the game is. That's like what Paul did, but instead of a game, he was sharing exciting news about God’s kingdom.

Acts was written by Luke, a close companion of Paul, around 60-80 AD. The audience included both Jews and Gentiles who were interested in learning more about the early Christian movement. At that time, synagogues were central places for Jewish worship and learning.
