[I.28] Luke x. 33, &c.; xvii. 16; _Acts_ viii. 5, &c. The same in
the fourth gospel: John iv. 5, &c.
[I.29] _Acts_ xxviii. 30.
[I.30] See _Vie de Jésus_.
[I.31] Luke xxiv. 50. Mark xvi. 19, shows a similar arrangement.
[I.32] _Acts_ i. 3, 9.
[I.33] See especially Luke i. 1, the expression τῶν πεπληροφορημένων
ἐν ἡμῖν πραγμάτων.
[I.34] Ch. x. xxii. xxvi.
[I.35] The centurion Cornelius, the proconsul Sergius Paulus.
[I.36] _Acts_ xiii. 7, &c.; xviii. 12, &c.; xix. 35, &c.;
xxiv. 7, 17; xxv. 9, 16, 25; xxvii. 2; xxviii. 17-18.
[I.37] Ibid. xvi. 37, &c.; xxii. 26, &c.
[I.38] Similar precautions were by no means rare. In the Apocalypse
and the Epistle of Peter, Rome is alluded to in disguised
language.
[I.39] Luke i. 4.
[I.40] _Acts_ i. 22.
[I.41] See _Vie de Jésus_, p. xxxix. &c.
[I.42] This is obvious, especially in the history of the centurion
Cornelius.
[I.43] _Acts_ ii. 47; iv. 33; v. 13, 26. Cf. Luke, xxiv.
19-20.
[I.44] _Acts_ ii. 44-45; iv. 34, &c.; v. 1, &c.
[I.45] I. Cor. xii-xiv. Comp. Mark xvi. 17, and _Acts_ ii. 4-13;
x. 46; xi. 15; xix. 6.
[I.46] {Comp. _Acts_ iii. 2, &c., to xiv. 8, &c.; ix. 36, &c., to
xx. 9, &c.; v. 1, &c., with xiii. 9, &c.; v. 15-16, to
xix. 12; xii. 7, &c., with xvi. 26, &c.; x. 44, with xix. 6.}
[I.47] In a speech attributed by the author to Gamaliel, about the
year 36, Theudas is spoken of as anterior to Judas of Galilee
(_Acts_ v. 36-37). Now the revolt of Theudas was in the year
44 (Jos. _Ant._ xx. v. 1), and certainly after that of the
Galilean (Jos. _Ant._, xviii. i. 1; B. J., II., viii. 1).
[I.48] Those who cannot refer to the German works of Baur,
Schneckenburger, Wette, Schwegler, Zeller, where critical
questions relative to the Acts are brought to almost a
definite solution, may consult _Etudes Historiques et
Critiques sur les Origines du Christianisme_, by A. Stap
(Paris, Lacroix, 1864), p. 116, &c.; Michel Nicolas, _Etudes
Critiques sur la Bible; Nouveau Testament_ (Paris, Lévy,
1864), p. 223, &c.; Reuss, _Histoire de la Théologie
Chretienne au siècle Apostolique_ I. vi. ch. v.; other works
of MM. Kayser, Scherer, Reuss, in the _Revue de Théologie_ of
Strasburg, 1st series, vol. ii. and iii.; 2d series, vol. ii.
and iii.
[I.49] For the exact meaning of οὐ προσανεθέμην σαρκὶ και αἴματι,
comp. Matt. xvi. 17.
[I.50] He declares it on oath. See chapters i. and ii. of the Epistle
to the Galatians.
[I.51] _Acts_ xii. 1.
[I.52] Jos. Ant. XIX. viii. 2; B. J. II. xii. 6.
[I.53] The quotation from Amos (xv. 16-17), made by James according
to the Greek version, and in non-accordance with the Hebrew,
also shows that this speech is a fiction of the author.
