A companion Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries
How did the promise of Acts 1:8 reach Samaria?
Acts 8 describes Philip proclaiming Christ there after believers were scattered from Jerusalem.
Read the passage in context
- Acts 1:8 · KJV
- Acts 8:4–8 · KJV
Place Jesus’ promise beside Philip’s visit to Samaria. Opposition in Jerusalem becomes part of the setting in which the message travels.
From the passage to daily life
Ask what the people actually heard from Philip and what Luke says about the city’s response.
