The Visual Bible: Acts is a 1994 American Christian film directed by Regardt van den Bergh and starring Henry O. Arnold, James Brolin, Dean Jones, and Bruce Marchiano. It depicts the events of the Acts of the Apostles from the New Testament. All of the dialogue is word-for-word scripture, taken directly from the New International Version of the ...
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.
Acts 2 is the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The book containing this chapter is anonymous but early Christian tradition asserted that Luke composed this book as well as the Gospel of Luke. [1] This chapter records the events on the day of Pentecost, about 10 days after the ascension of ...
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.
Several passages, for example, Acts 9:1-9, Acts 18:10 and Acts 23:11 reveal a pneumatological element that shapes Paul's life bending towards following God's will.

Alexander draws these verses together as indicating the apostles' argument that "no other name" but Jesus' name can account for how this man was healed. [4] They record Peter's second speech (after his speech in Acts 2), which addresses the same two questions as his first: 'What does this mean?' (cf. 2:12) and 'What shall we do?' (cf. 2:37). [4]
The idea of Christ's heavenly session appears a second time in the account of Peter's preaching in the Book of Acts. In Acts 5:31, Peter says that God exalted Jesus, "to his own right hand" , though Louis Berkhof notes that the dative τῇ δεξιᾷ may have to be taken in the instrumental sense ("by his own right hand") rather than a local ...
First page of Mark, by Sargis Pitsak (14th century): "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God". But who do you say that I am? Only Simon Peter answered him: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God — Matthew 16:15-16 [24] Jesus is mediator, but […] the title means more than someone between God and man. He is not ...
