A particular problem with the version in Acts of the Apostles is thatthe voice of Jesus saying(Acts 25:14)
, "
It hurts you to kick against the goad [or 'pricks']" is a quotation from the ancient play known as
Bacchae
by Euripides. The scene has parallels to the play and quite improbably has Jesus quote a Greek proverb to Paul while speaking Aramaic ("in the Hebrew language"). Confirming this link, the story of Paul being released while in prison also seems to be sourced from this well-known Greek play.
There are many discrepancies between Acts and Paul's epistles. It appears that Acts was actually written, around the end of the first century, in order to reduce the importance of Paul's role in establishing Christianity and to promote Peter's role. If Paul was taken, blind and helpless, to receive the gospel from second-level disciples, he could hardly have been the greatest Christian apostle, as he was probably regarded prior to Acts of the Apostles. Throughout Acts, there is a subtle comparison between the two great apostles, with Peter always appearing the more worthy apostle.
