The question is testing where in Acts the church moves beyond Jerusalem and begins witnessing in Judea and Samaria. In Acts, the story of the gospel spreading to these regions is told primarily in the middle portion of the book, where the believers scattered and the apostles begin ministering outside Jerusalem—Philip in Samaria and then Peter with the Gentile introduction that unfolds in Acts 10–11, followed by continues into Acts 12 as the scene shifts toward the broader mission.

That’s why the chapters eight through twelve are the best fit: they show the Apostles and early believers actively taking the message to Judea and Samaria, marking the geographic expansion promised in Acts 1:8. The earlier chapters focus on Jerusalem, and the later chapters (thirteen onward) shift toward the mission to the ends of the earth with Paul's journeys. While there is overlap with the events in this middle block, the sequence that centers on witnessing in Judea and Samaria runs through those chapters.
