We generally speak of Acts 13: as being the commencement of the apostle Paul's
great ministry, but if the details are examined we shall be reminded that, actually, this
new ministry starts earlier, namely at 11: 22, and, for a time, overlaps the ministry of
Peter. A feature of the Acts already noted helps to confirm this. We refer to the
recurrence of divine comment at different points of the narrative. This we exhibit so that
the reader may be provided with all possible means of Berean-like study.
