Scripture explanation and good news about Jesus


Philip started with the very scripture to Ethiopian eunuch and told him about the good news about Jesus
Acts 8:35
            35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

Acts 17:2(Paul went to synagogue and reasoned with them from scriptures)
            As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

Lk 24:27(Jesus explained to the people what was said in all the scriptures concerning himself)
            27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Acts 18:28(Apollos refuted his Jews in public debates, proving from the scriptures that Jesus was Messiah)
            24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and he spoke with great fervor[a] and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John.
28 For he vigorously refuted his Jewish opponents in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.

Acts 28:23(Paul was witnessing to large number of people about the kingdom of God and Jesus)
            23 They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God, and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets he tried to persuade them about Jesus.
