The book of Acts is about what happens to the followers of Jesus after he ascends into heaven. The first chapter begins with Jesus’ final command to his disciples.
Jesus says in verse 8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Jesus promises to them that they will be empowered by the Holy Spirit, and when they are empowered they will be witnesses for Jesus Christ.
There is a progression in the locations. It would be like saying, "You will be a witness for me in Williamston, and in all Martin County and Pitt County, and to the ends of the world.”
If we believe in Jesus, we are empowered by the same Spirit, and we should be a witness for Him!
