[I.3] Justin, Apol. i. 39. In the Acts also is seen the idea that Peter was the Apostle of the Gentiles. See especially Chap. x., comp. Petri i. 1. [I.4] I. Cor. iii. 6, 10; iv. 14, 15; ix. 1, 2. II. Cor. xi. 2, etc. [I.5] Letter of Denys of Corinth in Euseb. _Hist. Eccl._ ii. 25. [I.6] French readers, for ample details upon the discussion and comparison of the four narratives, may see Strauss, Vie de Jésus, 3d sect., chapters iv. and v. (traduction Littré); _Nouvelle Vie de Jésus_, 1. i., § 46, &c.; 1. ii. § 97, &c. (translation Nefftzer and Dollfus). [I.7] The Church early admitted this. See the canon of Muratori (_Antiq. Ital._ iii. 854), (Neutestamentliche Studien, Gotha, 1866), lines 33, &c. [I.8] Luke i. 1-4; _Acts_ i. 1. [I.9] See especially _Acts_, xvi. 12. [I.10] The paucity of language in the New Testament writers is so great that each one has his own dictionary; so that the writers of even very short manuscripts can be easily recognised. [I.11] The use of this word, _Acts_ xiv. 4, 14, is very indirect. [I.12] Comp. for example, _Acts_ xvii. 14-16; xviii. 5, with I. Thess. iii. 1-2. [I.13] I. Cor. xv. 32; II. Cor. i. 8; xi. 23, &c.; Rom. xv. 19; xvi. 3, &c. [I.14] _Acts_ xvi. 6; xviii. 22-23, compared with the Epistle to the Galatians. [I.15] For instance, the sojourn at Cesarea is left in obscurity. [I.16] Mabillon, _Museum Italicum_, i. 1 pars, p. 109. [I.17] Col. iv. 14. [I.18] See above, p. xii. [I.19] Almost all the inscriptions are Latin, as at Naples (Cavala), the port of Philippi. See Heuzey, _Mission de Macédoine_, p. 11, &c. The remarkable familiarity with nautical subjects of the author of the _Acts_ (see especially chapters xxvii-xxviii), would give rise to the belief that he was a Neapolitan. [I.20] For example, _Acts_ x. 28. [I.21] _Acts_ v. 36-37. [I.22] The Hebraisms of his style may arise from careful reading of Greek translations of the Old Testament, and above all, from reading the manuscripts of his co-religionists of Palestine, whom he often copied word for word. His quotations from the Old Testament are made without any acquaintance with the original text (for example, xv. 16, &c.). [I.23] _Acts_ xvii. 22, &c. [I.24] Luke i. 26; iv. 31; xxiv. 13. [I.25] Luke i. 31, compared with Matthew i. 21. The name of _Jeanne_, known only to Luke, is dubious. See, however, Talm. de Bab. Sota, 22 a. [I.26] _Acts_ ii. 47; iv. 33; v. 13, 26. [I.27] _Acts_ ix. 22, 23; xii. 3, 11; xiii. 45, 50, and many other passages. It is the same with the fourth gospel also compiled out of Syria.
