Matthew 9:35- 10:4 shows who Jesus' twelve apostles were by name and it shows what commission was set out for these men. Jesus at this time was on a preaching campaign where he cured a woman and raised a little girl from the dead. His disciples were followers with him and witnesses of his power. The end of chapter 9 shows Jesus' desire for a broader teaching campaign, saying there Needed to be " more workers" or more disciples to preach Gods word. So it was after this that he appointed these 12 disciples to become apostles. These men were granted power to expel unclean spirits and power to cure sicknesses. In this way, witnesses of these acts could draw faith in Gods holy spirit and become believers the same way these 12 apostles became believers by witnessing Jesus' power to do such things, such power coming from God. Although men today do not perform such things, true followers of Jesus are granted Gods holy spirit to continue the preaching and teaching campaign that Jesus initiated.
Acts does not mention Peter's death. The Gospel of John (21:18) contains a prophetic reference to his death.
The Acts of the Apostles - written by Luke (who also wrote the third gospel) - it tells of the events leading up to the ascension of Christ and the formation of the early Church.

The Book of Acts
The bible tells us that Judas Iscariot killed himself which left only eleven apostles. So to fill the gap left by Judas, Matthias was chosen as the new twelfth. Jesus appointed Peter Simon to be the foundation on which the new religion of Christianity was built.
The Gospel of Matthew tells of the magi visiting Jesus.
AnswerJohn's Gospel tells us, several times, that Jesus is God. However, if you are looking for a reference about which there is no doubt, this is not it. You should hold doubts if only John's Gospel makes this unequivocal claim, while the earlier gospels do not do so.
The book of the bible that tells about the early days of the church is called the Acts of the Apostles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
