Acts 1 - Introduction

Readings varying from the Text. recept.

Title. πράξεις� adopted on the authority of B, and as describing the contents of the book better than any other. The book is not the Acts of the Apostles, but merely some acts of certain Apostles, which are related by the author, but intermixed with the acts of others who were not Apostles, wherever such additions seem needed to make the narrative clear. א gives πράξεις only, which appears too brief, sufficient for the purposes of quotation, but not for a complete title. א has the subscription πράξεις�. The longer forms bear marks of the reverent additions of a later date.
