A2

1:15 to 28:31. The present treatise. All that JESUS continued to do and to teach, through the ministries of

PETER and PAUL.

We have observed, in passing, that Barnabas and Saul received a special commission from the Holy Ghost in a

manner somewhat parallel with the special equipment of the twelve on the day of Pentecost. This we record as

follows:

Equipment of the TWELVE (1:15 to 2:13).

Equipment of BARNABAS and SAUL (13:1-3).

Next we observe that the ministry of Peter, like the ministry of Paul, spreads in widening circles, until,

at length, both ministries terminate in prison. Without compelling the reader to piece together every item and to

weigh over every comparison, we give the complete outline of Acts as follows, trusting that no reader will be

satisfied to accept such an important aid to our study at second hand, but that each will make it his own.
