Summary/Abstract: The article first presents the assumptions and principles followed by three steps of the actualization according to the document Interpretation of the Bible in the Church by the Pontifical Biblical Commission. Then the article discusses the texts contained in the Acts of the Apostles, in which you can find the implementation of the postulates of the Commission’s document regarding the actualization (Acts 1:15–26; 4:1–31 and 15:13–21). The literaryrhetorical analysis of the text Acts 4:1–31 indicates the implementation of three steps of actualization as presented in the document Interpretation of the Bible in the Church. The model of actualization, applied in the analyzed text, is an inspired record of best practice for future generations of Christ’s disciples.
