Best Answer

The author of Acts of the Apostles is believed to have used Paul's epistles, which had begun to circulate widely by the start of the second century, as the principal source of inspiration for his book. He also used the works of Josephus, particularly Antiquity of the Jews. Some passages were based on ancient Greek works, including the Bacchae, a play by Euripedes.
