Please avoid non-literal translations such as The Message or the Living Bible. Each verse will be a separate question. You will also be asked to state the version/translation from which you have cited. - -Acts 1:8 - But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. 4:12 - There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved. 20:24 - But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God's grace. While Luke was not an original disciple, he was a close companion of which apostle? - -Luke, the physician, has been identified as the author of both the Gospel and the book of Acts. He was a close companion of Paul. Acts must have been written from which city if it was written in the early 60s and Luke accompanied Paul in his later years? - -A date in the 60s is most likely when one considers the following chronological arguments: - The writing ends abruptly without a record of Paul's death. - Rome is presented as neutral to Christianity. - Lack of mention of the Pauline Letters. - Lack of mention of the Jewish war that culminated in the temple's destruction. In addition to the possibility that the Theophilus mentioned in Luke and Acts was a Roman official, Köstenberger, Kellum, and Quarles make what speculation about him? - -Most likely, he was Luke's literary patron, in which case he would not only have paid the price of publication but may have housed Luke during the book's production and made the manuscript available for copying subsequent to its completion. T/F: The target audience of Acts was most likely Aramaic-speaking Jews living in Palestine. - -False - Luke's use of the Greek OT and his explanation of basic details of Judean topography and Aramaic terms suggests that Acts had a target audience outside of Palestine. The target audience would have included Gentile Christians, and it would not have ruled out Diaspora Jews or Jewish Christians living outside of Palestine. It is sometimes alleged that Acts provides an anachronistic statement regarding which Jewish renegade? - -Theudas T/F: The speeches in Acts are not recorded verbatim by Luke. - -True - It is improbable that the speeches recorded in Acts were verbatim reports. This conclusion can be made based on the following factors. Often times the speaker spoke in a language other than Greek.
