Luke’s sequel to his Gospel: the Holy Spirit arrives at Pentecost like a violent wind with tongues of fire, Peter preaches and three thousand are baptised, and the church spreads from Jerusalem to Rome. Stephen is stoned. Paul meets Jesus on the Damascus road, becomes the church’s most relentless missionary, and spends chapters 21–28 working through a succession of trials — before the Sanhedrin, before Felix, before Festus, before Agrippa — before finally arriving in Rome under house arrest, preaching to whoever comes. Ends mid-sentence, Paul still talking.
