In Acts, what is the second geographic section described after Jerusalem?

• A. The ends of the earth
• B. Judea and Samaria
• C. Asia Minor
• D. Egypt

Answer: (B)

Acts lays out the gospel’s spread in stages, following Jesus’ command that the witnesses begin in Jerusalem, then move to surrounding regions, and finally reach the ends of the earth. The second geographic section corresponds to Judea and Samaria, the areas immediately surrounding Jerusalem. This is seen in the narrative moving beyond the capital to preach and work in Judea and in Samaria (for example, Philip’s ministry in Samaria and the broader gospel activity outside Jerusalem). The third stage—the ends of the earth—encompasses the Gentile mission that extends beyond these regions, which includes Asia Minor as part of that wider expansion. Egypt isn’t presented as a distinct stage in this progression.
