 32  5,1 |             the Christian apocryphal acts.~ If the Four Gospels seemed
 33  5,1 |          gospel writing, the Book of Acts left a mass of loose ends
 34  5,1 |             Luke, the Gospel and the Acts, was divided, and the gospel

 38  5,2 |                                  The Acts of Paul.~ The sequel most
 39  5,2 |              demanded by the Book of Acts is some account of what
 40  5,2 |            marriage. So he wrote the Acts of Paul.~ Paul had indeed
 41  5,2 |           part of the province.~ The Acts of Paul described one of
 42  5,2 |             later, the writer of the Acts of Paul was found out and
 43  5,2 |            all that was known of the Acts of Paul, and we did not
 44  5,2 |             originally part of those Acts, so completely had they

 51  5,3 |              or three-fourths of the Acts of Paul. Jerome says, “The

 57  5,4 |                                  The Acts Of John.~ Not long after
 58  5,4 |           appearance of the romantic Acts of Paul (A.D. 160-70), some

 65  5,4 |               A complete text of the Acts has yet to be found.~ Chapters

 71  5,4 |            form part of the original Acts.~ Some scholars seek to
 72  5,4 |            scholars seek to date the Acts of John even before the
 73  5,4 |              of John even before the Acts of Paul, but this loses
 74  5,4 |              literary facts: (1) The Acts of Paul forms a far more
 75  5,4 |           more natural sequel to the Acts of the Apostles than does
 76  5,4 |           the Apostles than does the Acts of John; when Acts breaks
 77  5,4 |          does the Acts of John; when Acts breaks off, interest in
 78  5,4 |          from the narrative. (2) The Acts of Paul is conceivably a
 79  5,4 |            assert as Paul's that the Acts of Paul denies. (3) The
 80  5,4 |              of Paul denies. (3) The Acts of John is more easily understood
 81  5,4 |       understood as suggested by the Acts of Paul than by the Acts
 82  5,4 |             Acts of Paul than by the Acts of the Apostles; the sequence
 83  5,4 |              sequence may have been: Acts of the Apostles, Pastoral
