Luke traveled with Paul as well as learning about Jesus from many
eye-witnesses of Jesus life. All scriptures
are from the King James' version Bible.

(2) That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship,
from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own
place. {26} And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias;
and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. {Acts 1:25-26}
(3) And they continued stedfastly in the apostles'
doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. {43} And
fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the
apostles. {Acts 2:42-43}
(4) And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and
wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord
in Solomon's porch. {Acts
(5) And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied,
there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because
their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. {2} Then the
twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and
said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve
tables. {3} Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest
report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint

Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full
of good works and almsdeeds which she did. {37} And it came to pass in
those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had
washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. {38} And forasmuch as Lydda
was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there,
they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to
come to them. {Acts 9:36-38}
(11) And the apostles and brethren that were in

Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding

KEYWORD: WORD OF GOD {ACTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled,
which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas,
which was guide to them that took Jesus. {Acts
(2) Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand
souls. {Acts
(3) Howbeit many of them which
heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five
thousand. {Acts 4:4}
(4) And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy
servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, And when
they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together;
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word
of God with boldness.
{Acts
(5) Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and
said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and
serve tables. {3} Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men
of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business. {4} But we will give ourselves continually to
prayer, and to the ministry of the word. {7} And the word of God
increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in
(6) Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching
the word. {Acts 8:4}
(7) Now when the apostles which were at

testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached
the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans. {Acts
(9) The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
{35} Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture,
and preached unto him Jesus. {Acts
(10) The word which God sent unto the
children of

believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. {44} While Peter
yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard
the word. {Acts 10:43-44}
(12) And the apostles and brethren that were in
(13) Who shall tell thee
words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. {15} And as I
began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. {16} Then
remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized
with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. {19} Now they which
were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled
as far as Phenice, and
(14)
But the word of God grew and
multiplied. {Acts
(15) And when they were at
(16) And the next sabbath
day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. {45} But
when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against
those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. {46}
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. {47} For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I
have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for
salvation unto the ends of the earth. {48} And when the Gentiles heard
this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as
many as were ordained to eternal life believed. {49} And the word of the
Lord was published throughout all the region. {Acts 13:44-49}
(17) Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which
gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to
be done by their hands. {Acts 14:3}
(18) And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into
Attalia: {Acts
(19) And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto
them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made
choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the
gospel, and believe. {Acts 15:7}
(20) And to this agree the words of the prophets; as
it is written, {Acts
(21) Paul also and Barnabas continued in
(22) Now when they had gone throughout
(23) And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and
to all that were in his house. {Acts
(24) And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three
sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, {3} Opening and
alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from
the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. {Acts
17:2}
(25) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether those things were so. {12} Therefore many
of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men,
not a few. {13} But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the
word of God was preached of Paul at

grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among
all them which are sanctified.

Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up

resurrection. {Acts

resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither
his flesh did see corruption. {Acts

people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. {Acts

apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace
was upon them all. {Acts
(5) Then certain philosophers of the
Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this
babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because
he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. {Acts
(6) And when they heard of the
resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will
hear thee again of this matter. {Acts
(7) But when Paul perceived that the one
part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the
council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a
Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

(8) For the Sadducees say that there is
no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the
Pharisees confess both. {Acts 23:8}

they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead,
both of the just and unjust. {Acts 24:15}
