1.

 In the sixth and seventh chapters of the book of Acts, we read that Stephen preached a sermon to the
Jewish Sanhedrin, whereupon they stoned him to death. At what point during the sermon, though, did
some of them begin to actually make biting motions at him?

Answer: When he accused them of murder and ignoring angelic messengers

Immediately after he had told the religious rulers that they had betrayed and murdered Christ and had
ignored the law that had been delivered to them by angels, they "gnashed" upon him with their teeth.
(Talk about an unfriendly congregation!)
Just shortly after that, he proclaimed that he saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God. At that point,
they stopped up their ears, dragged him away, and then stoned him to death. (Acts 7:52-60; King James
Version)

2. Aeneas, a man who had been ill with palsy for eight years, was healed when a man simply spoke to him.
Who was the person who told him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole; arise and make thy bed."?
(King James Version)

Answer: Peter

Peter was in a town called Lydda, just prior to going to the seacoast town of Joppa, on the Mediterranean
Sea. The man Aeneas did as he was instructed in Acts 9:34 and arose immediately. People in Joppa had
heard that Peter was "in the neighborhood", and sent for him to come because a woman in that town had
died.

When Peter arrived, he raised Tabitha (who was also called Dorcas), from the dead.

3. A young lady named Rhoda was visiting someone when Peter appeared at the door of the gate outside
the house. Whose home was Rhoda visiting, according to Acts 12:12-17? (King James Version)

Answer: Mary, the mother of John Mark

Peter had just been released from prison by... an angel. His crime? Believing in and speaking of Christ as
the Messiah, or Saviour. Many people, not just Rhoda, were at the house, praying, and they were likely
stunned and amazed when Peter arrived, knowing that the last they had heard, he was still in prison.
(John Mark is the author of the gospel of Mark, and this happened at his mother's home.)

4. Paul and Barnabas once told an assembly of their fellow Jews that they were going to turn their message
of salvation to the Gentiles, because of the unwillingness of their Jewish kindred to believe in their
message of Christ.
In Acts 13:46, what did they say about this refusal and unwillingness of their brethren to accept Christ as
their Messiah?

Answer: they had deemed themselves unworthy of everlasting life

"Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, 'It was necessary that the word of God should first have
been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we
turn to the Gentiles.'" (King James Version)
5. When Saul, later called Paul, first encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus, Syria, what was the first
thing that Paul did, after he saw a light coming down from heaven? This was just prior to Jesus speaking to
him (Acts 9:3-4).

Answer: he fell down to the ground

In Acts 9:3-4 we read the following account: "And as he [Saul] journeyed, he came near Damascus: and
suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice
saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" (King James Version)
In the fifth verse, Paul asks to whom he is speaking, and the answer provided to him is that it is Jesus
himself.

6. Once, after Paul's conversion to Christianity, he and Barnabas were referred to as "gods", by a group of
people from the cities of Lystra and Derbe.
What names did they call Paul and Barnabas? (Acts 14:11-12)

Answer: Mercury and Jupiter

The Roman influence was very prevalent throughout this region of Lycaonia, and they called Paul
"Mercury", because he was the main speaker. "Jupiter" was the Roman equivalent of the Greek god
"Zeus".

Paul healed a man who had been crippled since birth and when he leaped up and walked then this
scripture says:
"And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of
Lycaonia, 'The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.' And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and
Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker." (King James Version)

7. Paul was once under investigation by the religious council of the Jews, the Sanhedrin. He was explaining
that he could live with his conscience, when a man told some people who were standing by to hit him in
the mouth. Who commanded the bystanders to do such a thing? (Acts 23:1-11)

Answer: Ananias, the high priest

Ananias, the same high priest who had insisted on turning Jesus over to the Roman authorities for
crucifixion, commanded that Paul be hit in the mouth, for his testimony. Ananias had been pleased to have
Paul persecuting the early church, but had by this time become greatly displeased since Paul was one of
the main preachers extolling the gospel.

Paul's response is interesting in verse 5. 'I wist (knew) not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is
written, "THOU SHALT NOT SPEAK EVIL OF THE RULER OF THY PEOPLE."' Paul was quoting from Exodus
22:28.

Many Christians teach that God has the rulers in place throughout the world that he wants there, and our
opinions about them are not necessarily reflective of His grand design.
8. Who spoke the following words to Paul, after he had witnessed to the man about Paul's own former
behavior and about the message of Christ as Messiah?
"Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian." (Acts 26:28)

Answer: Agrippa, the king

Neither Felix, Festus nor Agrippa quite knew what to do about Paul. King Agrippa finally heard his
testimony, yet the Bible does not state whether he actually became a Christian or not. The implication
seems to be that he did not; otherwise it most likely would have been mentioned.

9. Prior to Paul's trip to Jerusalem, a prophet told him that he would be bound and delivered to the
Gentiles. What was the name of this prophet? (Acts 21:9-14)

Answer: Agabus

Paul, along with Luke and some other folks, was visiting the home of Philip, the evangelist, when Agabus
came down from Judea to deliver this prophecy, not just in words, but also in a graphic manner. Agabus
tied his own hands and feet with Paul's girdle (or belt) as an example of what he was talking about in this
prophecy.

10. According to Acts 4:13-22, how much formal education did Peter and John have?

Answer: they were ignorant and unlearned

1. Who was this book addressed to as found in Acts 1:1?

Answer: Theophilus

The Gospel of Luke is also addressed to Theophilus. It means "one who loves God", and there has been
some discussion whether this means it was directed toward a general audience, anyone who loves God, or
a particular individual. Some put forth the theory that Theophilus was a patron or publisher.

In any event, the address seems to show that the book of Acts was a sequel to the Gospel of Luke.

2. Who took the office formerly held by Judas at the end of the first chapter of Acts?

Answer: Matthias

After the Ascension and community prayer, Peter announced the need to have one replace Judas, quoting
Scripture. Two men were put forward as qualified candidates, Matthias and Barsabbas. The group then
prayed before casting lots, which fell to Matthias.
3. What Jewish festival was occurring at the time the Holy Spirit appeared in the second chapter, giving the
disciples the ability to speak in tongues?

Answer: Shavuot

Shavuot was the fiftieth day after the Sabbath of Passover week. It is also called the Feast of Weeks.
According to Deuteronomy 16:9-12, the feast was celebrated with a freewill offering in accordance to what
the Lord had given them. On this particular day, people were bewildered, because the disciples were
Galileans. Galileans were not known for being educated.

The Christian name for this feast is Pentecost.

4. In the third chapter of Acts, Peter and John were involved in the healing of a man by what was called the
Beautiful Gate to the temple. What was the man's problem?

Answer: Lameness

The Beautiful Gate was a nickname, not an official name. Scholars believe that the gate was probably
bronze plated and given the name due to its exquisite craftsmanship. After being healed, the man went
into the temple, jumping, leaping, and praising God. This caused some notice and led into a speech by
Peter to the crowd.

5. What sin did Ananias and Sapphira commit, according to Acts 5:1-11?

Answer: Lied to the Holy Spirit

At this time in the early church, many were selling property to help with what was needed as recorded in
Acts 4:32-37. Ananias and Sapphira were a married couple who sold a piece of property. They kept back
some of the proceeds and told the apostles that it was the complete price. Peter accused them of lying to
the Holy Spirit and said they were not obligated to give the money. Both were struck dead.

6. What member of the council judging the apostles stated, "...let them alone, for if this plan or this
undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them." (Acts 5:38-
39)?

Answer: Gamaliel

Gamaliel was a famous Jewish teacher. Saul was his student. His reasoning in this case came from historical
precedents of manly endeavors failing. He cautioned that they leave them alone and let the movement
naturally dissipate rather than risk fighting against God. Therefore the apostles were released.

7. What controversy at the beginning of the sixth chapter caused men to be specially chosen to care for the
widows?

The correct answer was The Hellenists' widows were neglected.

Hellenists were Jews born in lands outside of Palestine and took many of their cultural characteristics from
the Greek world. Hebrews maintained the cultural traits and customs of the Jews. When this issue was
raised, the apostles suggested finding other men among the believers so they would not neglect their
preaching duties. Seven were chosen, including Stephen and Philip.
8. How did Stephen die at the end of the seventh chapter of Acts?

Answer: Stoning

Stephen is considered the first Christian martyr. He was first mentioned as one to care for the widows in
the daily distribution. He was charged with blasphemy and brought before the council, and they were
enraged by his speech. While Saul is not recorded as being directly involved, he was given his first mention
here as guarding the coats of the participants.

9. Who offered to pay Peter and John for the gift of giving others the Holy Spirit in the eighth chapter?

Answer: Simon

Simon was quite the celebrity in Samaria, known for his magic. Many linked him to being the power of
God. When the Good News came to Samaria, many believed, including Simon. When he saw Peter and
John laying hands on people, after which they received the Holy Spirit, he offered to pay them to give him
this ability also. They refused and encouraged them to repent of his wicked thoughts.

10. Still in the eighth chapter, who explained a passage from Isaiah to an Ethiopian eunuch?

Answer: Philip

The eunuch was a court official and had come to Jerusalem to worship. In Acts 8:31-38, he was puzzled by
the quote, "Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens
not his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is
taken away from the earth." Philip explained that Isaiah was talking about Jesus.

This passage can be found in Isaiah 53:7-8. At the request of the eunuch, Philip baptized him.

11. On the road to Damascus, Saul suddenly saw a light and was confronted by a voice. Finish the quote
from Acts 9:4. "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting ___________?"

Answer: Me

Saul was described as "breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord" (Acts 9:1) as he
received permission to go to Damascus. After his confrontation with Jesus on the road, he was blind.
Ananias was sent to Saul so that he would see again. Saul was baptized and later had to be secretly sent
out of the city. Saul based his interaction on the road as his qualification for being an apostle, since he had
seen the Lord.

12. What was not true about the disciple, Tabitha, when she was mentioned in Acts 9:36-43?

Answer: She was Peter's sister-in-law.

From the context of the story, Tabitha was apparently an accomplished seamstress who did a lot of works
for charity. Her passing was such a sorrowful event that others asked for Peter to come. Peter is said to
have prayed before asking Tabitha to rise, which she did.
13. What vision did God give Peter before he met Cornelius in the tenth chapter?

Answer: Unclean animals

Cornelius was a Gentile and up to this point all the recipients of the apostles' preaching were Jewish or
converts to Judaism. In the vision, God told Peter to eat what Peter believed to be unclean, and God
responded, "What God has made clean, do not call common." (Acts 10:15) This opened Peter's eyes to
sharing the Good News with this Gentile family. Peter used this vision in his defense for what he did to the
church in the eleventh chapter.

14. How did Peter get out of jail when Herod imprisoned him in chapter twelve of Acts?

Answer: an angel let him out.

Peter was arrested after Herod found out how popular James' execution had been. After the angel released
Peter, he went to the home of John Mark's mother, Mary. The servant girl, Rhoda, was so excited she
forgot to let him in. The others in the house didn't believe her and thought she saw his angel. This alluded
to a belief that everyone had their own personal angel.

15. Who was Saul's first missionary companion?

Answer: Barnabas

In chapter thirteen, Barnabas and Saul were set aside by the church at Antioch to to go on a mission
journey. Back in chapter eleven it was mentioned that Antioch was also the place where members of the
new church were called Christians. Barnabas was mentioned as the disciple who brought Saul to the
apostles in Jerusalem (Acts 9:26-27).

The apostles had been afraid of Saul due to his previous actions against the church. Later he was
instrumental in finding Saul in Tarsus and bringing him to Antioch for a full year. (Acts 11:25-26)

16. At Lystra (Acts 14:8-20), which god was Paul mistaken for?

Answer: Hermes

Saul was now going by the name Paul. The name Saul had a Jewish background, and Paul was a Hellenistic
name. As Paul was now entering into a Gentile-focused ministry, this may be why he was now referred to
as Paul. At Lystra, Paul was used by God to heal a crippled man, and the people instantly jumped to the
conclusion that he and Barnabas were gods.

Some speculate that Barnabas was a larger man as he was taken for Zeus. Paul, on the other hand,
probably was mistaken for Hermes as he did most of the speaking.

Hermes was considered the messenger of the gods. Paul and Barnabas protested that they too were only
men.
17. What practice was discussed at the Jerusalem council in chapter 15?

Answer: Circumcision

This was a turning point for the early church. The earliest members of the church were Jews or converts to
Judaism. Circumcision was a requirement. However, more and more Gentiles were believing in the Gospel,
and some were teaching that circumcision was a requirement for salvation. Paul and Barnabas were
outspoken opponents of this teaching.

The final conclusion of the council was that they should not put needless barriers upon the Gentiles for
coming to faith.

18. Paul had a dream (Acts 16:6-10) about a man begging for help. Where was this man from?

Answer: Macedonia

Paul was now traveling with Silas after a dispute with Barnabas. They were also joined by Timothy, who
would later be a recipient of two of Paul's epistles. Acts records that the Holy Spirit kept them from
entering into Asia. Paul's dream of a Macedonian pleading for help led the mission team into Europe.

His dream took place at Troas, an important port city that fed into Macedonia. Macedonia was the
homeland of Alexander the Great's ancestors and was at this time a Roman province.

19. Why was Paul's "spirit provoked within him" while he was waiting in Athens (Acts 17:16)?

Answer: The city was full of idols.

Paul's persecution of the church prior to his conversion show him to be a man who had little tolerance of
things that led people away from the truth. Athens had once been the center of wisdom and philosophy.
So Paul used the Areopagus to preach the Gospel.

He utilized the altar "to an unknown god" as an opening. The altar had been erected by cautious Greeks
who were afraid of offending any god, even those they might not have known. Paul's speech in Athens is
recorded in Acts 17:22-31.

20. In chapter nineteen of Acts, Demetrius of Ephesus felt threatened by the Gospel. What was his job?

Answer: Silversmith

Ephesus was the home of the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Demetrius' trade was dependent on the worship of Artemis as he crafted silver shrines to her. The
Christian church taught people to follow only one God and therefore threatened his job. Working with
other tradesmen, he created a riot with Artemis as their rallying cry.

Afterwards, Paul continued on to Macedonia.

21. Where in Jerusalem was Paul seized in chapter twenty-one?

Answer:  At the temple

Paul was accused of teaching against the laws of Moses and bringing Greeks into holy places of the temple,
which was forbidden. Acts never recorded whether the charge of bringing Greeks in were true or not. A
riot occurred and Paul was saved by the Roman occupation soldiers. Paul was given the opportunity to
witness to the crowd all that had happened to him, but the crowd still was against him.

22. Who warned Paul about the plot against his life as found in Acts 23:16?

Answer: His nephew

The conspiracy was to request that Paul appear before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish court, for more
information. However, before Paul could arrive, the group would be ambushed. Paul redirected his
nephew to tell the commander what he had heard. The commander put together a force of over four
hundred men to transfer Paul to Caesarea where Felix, the governor, was.

This whole episode can be found in the twenty-third chapter.

23. Why was Paul ordered to appear before Caesar in Acts 25?

Answer: He appealed to Caesar.

Paul's Roman citizenship was one of the major explanations why he was more or less protected by the
Roman army. He appeared before many local authorities before appealing to have his case heard by
Caesar, a right of any Roman citizen. If he were found innocent, this would have granted Christianity official
recognition. One authority, Agrippa, stated, "This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to
Caesar." (Acts 26:32)

24. Where was Paul shipwrecked in Acts 27?

Answer: Malta

Paul was put on a boat to sail to Rome, but the sea was not kind. They landed at a port on Crete, but the
majority of people on board did not want to winter there. Paul warned them that continuing on would be
hazardous to their lives and cargo. After landing on Malta, the centurion spared Paul's life when some
wanted to kill the prisoners to prevent them from escaping.

25. Where was Paul at the end of the book of Acts?

Answer: Rome
1. At the beginning of the book of Acts, Jesus gives his disciples parting instructions, and then "he was taken up
before their very eyes". What hid him from their sight?

Answer: a cloud

Luke begins the Acts of the Apostles by addressing Theophilus and picking up the story of Jesus he related in his
gospel, explaining that Jesus gave his friends "many convincing proofs that he was alive" over a forty-day period.
Jesus promises them the Holy Spirit and tells them that they will be his "witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and
Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:1-8).

It is after this that the disciples see Jesus ascend and disappear behind a cloud. Then, two men dressed in white
explain to them that Jesus "will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven" (Acts 1:9-10).

2. William Blake's painting from around 1800 depicts Roman soldiers casting lots for the robe of Jesus. In Acts 1,
what do the disciples do before they cast lots to determine who will replace Judas as one of the twelve apostles?

Answer: pray

In verse 23, we're told that two men were nominated: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
It has been suggested that the Greek words in Acts 1:26 may mean simply that they voted rather than throwing dice
or otherwise casting lots, since they literally "gave the lot" to Matthias.

However, casting lots was not an unusual thing to do in Jewish culture or even in the Hebrew Bible, and they weren't
gambling or engaging in magic but acting as leaders of the community of believers.

They didn't simply depend on the lots, but first they prayed, and the text even gives the words of the prayer: "Lord,
you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which
Judas left to go where he belongs" (Acts 1:24-25).

3. In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit arrives as promised, on the day of Pentecost, and the disciples "saw what seemed to be
tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them" (verse 3). What did they hear before the tongues
of fire appeared?

Answer: a sound like the blowing of a violent wind

The New International Version of the Bible says in Acts 2:2, "Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind
came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting." I like the King James Version, which
describes "a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind...." After the physical manifestations they can hear and
see, suddenly things get personal: "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues
as the Spirit enabled them" (Acts 2:4 NIV).

4. In Acts 2, some people were amazed to hear Peter and the other disciples from Galilee speaking in many different
languages of the Roman Empire. But others made fun of them. What did the scoffers say?

Answer: They have had too much wine.

Luke offers a list of "God-fearing Jews" from outlying provinces who hear their native tongues being spoken:
"Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and
Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism);
Cretans and Arabs..." (Acts 2:9-11a).

Some members of the crowd don't hear real languages, and they believe (or choose to believe) that they are hearing
the nonsense speech of people who are drunk. Peter goes on to assure the crowd, "These people are not drunk, as
you suppose.
It's only nine in the morning!" He explains that what they are seeing and hearing is the fulfillment of Biblical
prophecy, then he goes on to tell them about Jesus and to invite them to be baptized. About 3,000 people take him
up on the invitation. "Stolen bread tastes sweet, but it turns to gravel in the mouth" is Proverbs 20:17 in the New
Living Translation. "Can any good wine come out of Nazareth" slightly changes the words of Nathanael in John 1:46,
when Philip tells him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also
wrote - Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph" (John 1:44-45). Nathanael wants to know if anything good could come
out of Nazareth, and Philip invites him to come and see. Regardless of what some may think, "All fishermen are liars"
isn't in the Bible.

5. In Acts 3, Peter heals a lame man who is begging and then preaches to the onlookers. Where in the Jerusalem
Temple does this take place?

Answer: The Beautiful Gate

The "Beautiful Gate" of the Jerusalem Temple is not mentioned in any other source or elsewhere in the Bible. Some
Biblical scholars identify it with the Nicanor Gate, thought to be between the Court of Women, where a lame person
could enter, and the Court of the Israelites, where he would not have been allowed.

This would make sense when the formerly lame beggar went joyfully leaping into the temple courts with Peter and
the other men. However, when Peter begins to speak with the onlookers, they are in Solomon's Porch, so other
interpreters believe the gate might be the Shushan (or Susa or HaKohan) Gate in the East Wall of the Temple Mount.

This Eastern Gate is also called the Golden Gate and is the one through which the Messiah is supposed to come.
Jesus is thought to have entered Jerusalem through this gate after coming down from the Mount of Olives on the
day we call Palm Sunday.

The Pool of Siloam outside the southern walls of the old city of Jerusalem was a place where Jesus healed a man,
blind since birth, in John 9:1-12.

The "Wailing Wall" is a part of the western wall of the Temple that is a place of prayer and pilgrimage, thought to be
the only bit of the Temple that remains in modern times. The Holy of Holies, or Kodesh Hakodashim, is the inner
sanctuary of the Temple, and would only be entered by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur.

6. When Peter is approached by the lame beggar in the Jerusalem Temple in Acts 3, what does Peter say?

Answer: Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you.

Peter follows up to tell the lame man what he does have: "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." He then
helps the man up, after which we see one of the most joyful pictures in the Bible. The beggar "jumped to his feet and
began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God" (Acts 3:8).

While Peter does not say anything to the beggar in the Temple about having sold his own property, in Acts 2:44-45,
we learned, "All the believers were together and had everything in common.

They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need." This giving will be emphasized again in
following chapters, with positive and negative examples. The other two sayings are not in the Bible.

7. In Acts 4, "The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees....were greatly disturbed because
the apostles were teaching the people proclaiming" something in Jesus. What was this idea Peter and John were
proclaiming that challenged the theology of the Sadducees?

Answer: the resurrection of the dead

The church in the photograph is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Christians visit the tomb that became
empty when Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Josephus wrote in his "Antiquities of the Jews" that the
Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection of the dead while Pharisees did believe in a day of the Lord in which at
least some of the dead would rise physically from their graves.

The Sadducees rejected the oral traditions practiced by the Pharisees, allowing only what was written in Torah to be
authoritative. Jesus deals with challenges by the Sadducees at several points in his ministry, especially when they try
to set him up with questions about resurrection.

For example, in Matthew 22:23-33, they pose the question about a woman who has married seven times after losing
one husband after another to death, then died herself, asking who she would belong to after they all came back in
the resurrection. Jesus answers, "The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are
considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be
given in marriage and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels." The resurrection would become central to
the message of the New Testament.

8. In Acts 4, we meet a man who will appear later, in the stories of Paul and his missionary journeys: "Joseph, a
Levite from Cyprus, who the apostles called Barnabas..." (36-37). According to Luke, what does "Barnabas" mean?

Answer: Son of Encouragement

Luke uses the Greek words "hyios paraklēseōs" - which gets translated "son of encouragement" or "son of
consolation". A form of the same word is used to describe the Holy Spirit as a comforter, particularly in the Gospel of
John. Scholars think the name is Aramaic, since "bar" would mean "son of" in that language, which is closely related
to Hebrew.

The word naḇyā in the second part of his name could mean "prophet" or "prophecy" in Aramaic. But Luke, writing in
Greek, translates it as he - and presumably his sources - understood it.

It certainly fits the man, who in this story is striking for his generosity. And it suits him later, as he supports Paul and
his own relative John Mark. In Acts 14:14-15, in Lystra, Barnabas is actually mistaken for the god Zeus, while Paul is
seen as Hermes, but the name Barnabas has nothing at all to do with Zeus.

The translation "son of the father" is usually given for the surname of Jesus Barabbas, the rebel who was freed by
Pontius Pilate when Pilate tried to get the local crowd in Jerusalem to let him pardon Jesus of Nazareth. So don't
confuse Barabbas with Barnabas!

9. At the beginning of Acts 5, there's the story of the married couple Ananias and Sapphira, who are quite different
from Joseph Barnabas. But what do they and he have in common?

Answer: They sold a piece of property.

All of these things seem to be true of Barnabas, but not of Ananias and Sapphira, who did sell a piece of property but
conspired to keep some of the money for themselves while hypocritically pretending to give as generously as
Barnabas had done. As Peter's words make clear, the problem was not that they kept some of the money: "Didn't it
belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal?" (Acts 5:4-5). Peter goes
on to accuse them of lying to God, after which Ananias drops dead.

When Sapphira comes in later and compounds the lie, she dies as well. It is not surprising that the final verse of this
short narrative states, "Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events" (Acts 5:11).
Ironically, since Christians are so often accused of hypocrisy, it is hypocrisy that seems to be a capital crime in the
early church, at least when it involves trying to fool God as well as other people.

10. In the latter part of Acts 5, the apostles again get in trouble with the authorities for healing and preaching in and
around the Temple in Jerusalem. What happens after they are arrested and thrown into jail?
Answer: An angel of the Lord opens the doors of the jail and lets them out.

The angel sends the apostles back into the fray, saying, "Go, stand in the temple courts...and tell the people all about
this new life" (Acts 5:17). When the Sanhedrin sends for them, the officers find the doors still locked and the guards
still there but the prisoners gone.

When they are found back in the Temple, the apostles reply, "We must obey God rather than human beings!" As
council members are fuming and plotting death, "a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law," advises a wiser
path, uttering words that would echo long past his time: "Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human
origin, it will fail.

But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will be fighting against God" (Acts 5:38b-39). In Acts
16, Paul and Silas are placed in prison, and their chains break loose in the middle of an earthquake.

They don't leave, and the jailer and his family become Christians as a result.
1. In Acts 6, in response to concerns about the distribution of food to widows, seven men are consecrated to see to
practical matters of life, freeing up the apostles to concentrate on "prayer and the ministry of the word." Which of
these seven "deacons" is specifically described as "full of faith and of the Holy Spirit"?

Answer: Stephen

The image is 16th Century artist Vittore Carpaccio's take on the consecration of Stephen as it was envisioned in
Renaissance Europe, with echoes of Byzantium. He imagines the apostle Peter standing at the top of the Temple
steps, with Stephen kneeling below him to be anointed for service, and members of the congregation, including
some of those widows perhaps, on and near the steps. On the left, the disapproving figures are members of the
Sanhedrin or others of the religious establishment in Jerusalem.

The seven deacons mentioned in Acts 6 are Stephen, Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from
Antioch, a convert to Judaism. Luke, the writer of Acts, goes on to give us stories of Stephen and Philip.

2. When Stephen is brought before the Sanhedrin, the religious court at the Jerusalem Temple, and is accused of
"speaking against this holy place and the law", he defends himself by reminding them of the lives of their ancestors,
beginning with what man of faith who became the father of Isaac through God's promise?

Answer: Abraham

Stephen's audience would have seen themselves as the descendants of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
(later called Israel). In his "disputation" (formal defense) Stephen begins with Abraham's step of faith when he left
his original homeland to go to the place God sent him. Stephen shows his knowledge and understanding of the
Torah, the first five books of the Bible, the part of "the law" most members of the Sanhedrin would have agreed
upon.

He relates the story of Joseph in Egypt, then moves on to Moses.

While Stephen doesn't mention the most dramatic life or death event in the story of Abraham and Isaac, the image
by Charles Foster (1897) depicts a compassionate father who is willing to give up his beloved son because he trusts
God.

3. In Acts 7, Stephen says that the knowledge of what life or death event caused Moses to flee from Egypt?

Answer: Moses killed an Egyptian who was mistreating an Israelite.

In Acts 7, Stephen mentions several life or death events in the history of the Jewish people as it is told in the Hebrew
scriptures. He tells of Joseph almost being killed by his brothers but going on to save his family. He speaks of the
patriarchs who died in Egypt and their burial at Shechem upon the people's return to Canaan.

He tells of the Egyptian cruelty at the time of the birth of Moses, when Israelites were forced to throw away their
newborn babies. The event that caused Moses to leave Egypt happened when Moses defended one of his people by
killing an Egyptian, only to have the act thrown back in his face later when seeking peace between two Israelite men.

He flees for his life because he realizes that his deed has become common knowledge.

4. When Stephen ends his defense by declaring that God dwells in a temple not made by hands, that his accusers
murdered Jesus just as their ancestors killed the prophets, and that he can see the "Son of Man" (Jesus) in heaven at
the right hand of God, what is their reaction?
Answer: They drag him outside the city and stone him for blasphemy.

St. Stephen is considered to be the first Christian to die for his faith and is sometimes call the "proto-martyr"
because of this. He was killed by the traditional Biblical method of stoning, as the penalty for blasphemy.
Undoubtedly, his listeners were comfortable identifying with the heroes of the Hebrew Bible, but when Stephen
clearly places them with the killers of the prophets, they are outraged and take him outside the city for execution by
stoning.

In most depictions of Stephen, he is shown with three stones, sometimes with a palm or crown to symbolize his
martyrdom, and sometimes with a book or a miniature church or censor.

5. In the foreground of the painting of Stephen's death by Bartholomeus Breenbergh, a young man is shown sitting
with the cloaks of the witnesses of the execution. According to Acts 7:58, what is the name of this man?

Answer: Saul

Acts 7:58 is our introduction to Saul of Tarsus, who would become Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles. He is shown in
an unfavorable light as the person who watches the belongings of those involved in the killing of Stephen, giving tacit
approval to persecution that he would later pursue with zeal.

In Acts 8:3, we are told, "But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men
and women and put them in prison." The painting emphasizes the location of the execution of Stephen, outside the
walls of the holy city, where the Torah states such punishments are to be carried out.

6. In Acts 8, Philip, one of the seven deacons, preaches and heals through the power of the Holy Spirit, bringing
renewed life to the people of Samaria. When Simon the Sorcerer offers to pay money to gain the power of the Holy
Spirit, what does Peter say to him?

Answer:  "May your money perish with you!"

While fantasies about Simon Magus (Simon the Sorcerer or Simon the Magician) appear outside the Bible, the only
reference to him in canonical scripture is in Acts 8. Apocryphal stories describe Simon levitating and performing
other feats of magic, paying the price for his pride and sorcery with a gory death, but Luke shows him in Acts asking
for prayer in response to Peter's rebuke and condemnation.

The point of the story in Acts 8 is that one should not attempt to buy the things of God or confuse the moving of the
Holy Spirit with magic or anything done for selfish gain or attention toward oneself.

The word for the sin of "simony" - trading in spiritual things for money - originates with this story. New Testament
scholar J.B. Phillips wrote that the gist of Peter's words to Simon could be translated, "To hell with you and your
money!"

7. In Acts 8, Philip is told by an angel to go to the desert road leading from Jerusalem to Gaza, where Philip explains
to an Ethiopian eunuch a passage from Isaiah that the African man is reading as he rides in a chariot. After hearing
"the good news about Jesus", what act symbolic of death, burial, and resurrection does the Ethiopian ask Philip to
perform?
Answer: Baptism

The eunuch initiates the act of baptism by suggesting to Philip that they use the water that is nearby as they travel
along the road. Elsewhere in the New Testament (Romans 6:3-8, for example), baptism is equated with death, burial,
and resurrection to new life in Christ.

As a eunuch, the Ethiopian would not have been allowed to worship in the Jerusalem Temple, but Philip does not
hesitate to baptize him. We are not told the Ethiopian man's name, only that he is an important person in charge of
the treasury of the queen of the Ethiopians. We also see that he wants to learn about the things of God, is able to
read the Hebrew scriptures (most scholars think in the Greek Septuagint), and is eager to make his conversion
complete through baptism.

The Bible tells us that he goes home rejoicing.

8. Acts 9:1-9 states that Saul, with murder in his heart toward followers of Jesus, was struck deaf on the way to
Damascus and fell off his horse, unable to move or speak, lying on the road as if dead for three days and three
nights.

Answer: False

Paul (still called Saul at this time) was indeed "breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples" as he
traveled toward Damascus to seize them and take them to Jerusalem for trial and prossible death. But it was his
sight that was temporarily taken away rather than his hearing and ability to speak; in fact, he heard the voice of
Jesus, who asked Saul why he (Saul) was persecuting him (Jesus), and Saul was able to respond by asking Jesus who
he was.

Although Saul was blind for three days, he was able to be "led by the hand into Damascus" and to spend that time in
prayer, rather than lying in the road as if dead.

While the scene is often pictured as if Saul were riding rather than walking to Damascus, the Bible simply says he
"fell to the ground" and was led the rest of the way.

9. After Saul's experience on the road to Damascus, he became a persuasive advocate for Jesus Christ, placing his life
in such danger he had to escape the city. Because the gates of Damascus were being watched by his enemies, how
did Saul get past the walls of the city?

Answer: He was let down in a basket.

Because he had been trying to kill or imprison followers of Jesus, Saul was initially feared by the believers in
Damascus, but he became as zealous for "the Way" as he had been in opposition to it: "Saul grew more and more
powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ" (Acts 9:22).

A plot to kill him came to light, leading to the inventive escape in a basket. He went to Jerusalem, where people were
again suspicious and amazed by his conversion until Barnabas reassured them of its reality.

His story line in Acts is interrupted for a time, because he is sent home to Tarsus. We can almost hear the sigh of
relief in Acts 9:31 when Luke tells us: "Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace"!

10. As Acts 9 comes to a close, Peter tells a paralyzed man named Aeneas, "Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and take
care of your mat." What does Peter do next, when called to a nearby town because a generous woman named
Tabitha (or Dorcas) has died? (The image may be misleading.)

Answer: He prays alone with her and says, "Tabitha, get up."
The healing of Aeneas and Tabitha (Dorcas) are both depicted in the painting, the paralyzed man on the left and the
revived woman on the right. These miracles take place in different towns, Lydda and Joppa, and an indeterminate
amount of time passes between the two events, but in both the text in Acts and in the painting, the stories are
juxtaposed and seem meant to go together. Peter speaks to Aeneas and Tabitha in a similar fashion, telling both the
paralyzed man and the dead woman to get up. Luke (the writer of Acts) is careful to clearly identify this generous,
industrious woman from a tiny town, marking down her name in two languages, as if she were an important
historical figure whose identity we should get right. Centuries later, she is remembered for the clothing she made for
the poor and the love she inspired in her neighbors.
