ACTS 28:30-31 The Ending of the Book of Acts

Q: Why does Luke end his account so abruptly?

 

Several possibilities have been suggested, including the following:

1. Luke intended to write a third volume.

    

2. Rome, the center of civilization, had been reached.

    

3. Most likely, it was written before the trial occurred. If a judgment had already been reached, Luke

    would have recorded it in any case. It has even been suggested that Luke-Acts was written to Paul's

    lawyer or a prominent member of the Roman court in hopes that it would help ensure a not-guilty

    verdict.
