The evangelist, Luke, begins his "orderly account" with the following statement: . 1 Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us, 3 it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very ...
1.6 Mark 11:26. 1.7 Mark 15:28. ... This verse is very similar to Mark 12:40 and Luke 20:47. This verse is lacking ... Even the King James Version had doubts about ...
For example, according to Luke 2:11 Jesus was the Christ at his birth, but in Acts 2:36 he becomes Christ at the resurrection, while in Acts 3:20 it seems his messiahship is active only at the parousia, the "second coming"; similarly, in Luke 2:11 he is the Saviour from birth, but in Acts 5:31 [44] he is made Saviour at the resurrection; and he ...
This chapter functions as a transition from the "former account" (that is, the Gospel of Luke) with a narrative prelude (verses 1–5), repeated record of the ascension of Jesus Christ with more detail (verses 6–11) and the meeting of Jesus' followers (verses 12–26), [2] until before Pentecost.
In the New Testament, the narrative appears only in Matthew 1:18–25 and Luke 1:26–38, [4] and the modern scholarly consensus is that it rests on slender historical foundations, [5] though conservative scholars maintain its historicity.

The name "Acts of the Apostles" was first used by Irenaeus in the late 2nd century. It is not known whether this was an existing name for the book or one invented by Irenaeus; it does seem clear that it was not given by the author, as the word práxeis (deeds, acts) only appears once in the text (Acts 19:18) and there it refers not to the apostles but to deeds confessed by their followers.
