The opening words

of [Luke's] second book state that it will narrate 'all that Jesus will continue to do and to teach.' That is to say, this volume is the record of works and words of the ascended Lord through the 'servants of the word' (Luke 1:2). Since Paul, the gospel herald to the gentiles, is the dominant servant in the Book of Acts, it is through him that the Lord chiefly acts and teaches.
