Acts 1:1-2

Expanded Bible

Luke’s Second Volume

1 ·To [^LO] Theophilus [^Ca name meaning “Lover of God”; probably a specific individual, though possibly addressing all who love God].

The ·first [or former; previous] ·book [account; ^Ca reference to the Gospel of Luke] I wrote was about everything Jesus began to do and teach ² until the day he was taken up into heaven. Before this, ·with the help of [through] the Holy Spirit, Jesus ·told [instructed; commanded] the apostles he had chosen [Luke 6:13] what they should do.
