Explanation:

The Book of Acts is the fifth book in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. In it, it recounts the acts of the missionaries and disciples of Jesus in spreading the Gospel to various parts of the world. The specific chapter division according to the events in chronological order are-

1. Acts 2:1 says "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place". The day of the Pentecost is the day when the Holy Spirit visited the believers and filled them with the spirit of God and they were all blessed, talking in different tongues.

2. Acts 4 details the moment when Peter and John were captured and questioned about their act of healing a lame man. This starts the resistance of the people/ believers against Annas and Caiaphas.

3. Acts 7 shows the stoning of Stephen, a true believer of God. He saw the kingdom of God opening while he was stoned, for his open declaration of the arrogance and stubborn nature of them. The proclamation by Stephen angered the people, thus deciding to stone him to death, leaving their cloaks at the feet of a man named Saul, later to become the Apostle Paul.

4. Acts 11 says "The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God." This mentions the Gentiles getting the Good News too, for they were not allowed access to any of the gospel. Chapter 18 states "even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”

5. Acts 12 tells how Herod began persecuting the believers of the Gospel, arresting Peter and also killing James, John's brother. During the festival of Unleavened Bread, he had Peter captured and then decided to deal with him after the Passover feast. But Peter escaped with the help of an angel sent by God.

6. Acts 13- 14 details the very First Missionary Journey undertaken by the disciples, Barnabas and Saul (Paul). They visited numerous places such as Seleucia, Cyprus, Salamis, Paphos, Pamphylia and so on.

7. Acts 15 details the Council at Jerusalem, regarding the issue of circumcision of the believers. So, Paul and Barnabas went to Jerusalem to deal with the issue.

8. Acts 16- 18 shows the Second Missionary Journey where Timothy went along with Paula and Silas, travelling to places like Phrygia, Galatia, Somathrace, Neapolis, Macedonia etc.

9. Acts 18- 20 details the Third Missionary Journey, starting from the end of the 18th chapter where Paul was joined by Priscilla and Aquila on his journey to Corinth. This begins the third journey, with them visiting many places like Antioch, Ephesus, and Greece.

10. Acts 27 shows Paul and other prisoners of Agrippa going back to Rome after his numerous missionary trips to numerous places.
