Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles were written by the same author, long assumed to be the apostle Luke. The Gospel was written first, with Acts apparently written after an interval, during which some of Luke's assumptions may have changed.Luke's Gospel ends when the risen Jesus last spoke to the disciples and was then taken bodily up into heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection.Acts begins when the risen Jesus, who had remained on earth for forty days, seen by many, last spoke to the disciples and was then taken bodily up into heaven.
Acts
The Book of Acts follows the Gospel of John.
The Acts of the Apostles. The Acts of the Apostles, abbreviation Acts, fifth book of the New Testament, a valuable history of the early Christian church. Acts was written in Greek, presumably by the Evangelist Luke, whose gospel concludes where Acts begins, namely, with Christ's Ascension into heaven.
Among the gospels, only Luke's Gospel actually mentions the ascension into heaven of Jesus.Luke's Gospel gives a graphic account of Jesus ascending bodily into heaven near Bethany, not far from Jerusalem. This occurred on the evening following the resurrection.Acts of the Apostles, although written by the same author as Luke's Gospel, records that Jesus remained on earth for forty days and was then taken up. Presumably the author received further information between the time of writing the Gospel and writing Acts.
The Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles were written by Luke in the King James Version of the Bible.
Acts is not one of the Synoptic Gospels - they are Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Acts can be considered a follow-on or sequel to Luke, since they were written to the same person and evidently by the same author. But Acts is not a Gospel.
The book of Acts is often considered the second part of Luke
Luke the physician addressed both his Gospel and the Book of Acts to Theophilus.
