Acts 6:7 reports the word of God increasing in Jerusalem — a direct parallel to the word's growth and prevalence described here.

Acts 12:24 also says the word of God grew and multiplied — nearly identical summary of the gospel's spread, reinforcing this pattern.

Isaiah 55:11 promises God's word will accomplish its purpose — here in Acts that promise is fulfilled as the word grows mightily.

2 Thessalonians 3:1 asks prayer for the word to spread rapidly — Acts 19:20 shows that prayer being answered, a thematic parallel.
