NASB | Acts 1:1 The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to do and teach, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 1:1 The first account I made, Theophilus, was [a continuous report] about all the things that Jesus began to do and to teach [Luke 1:1-4] |
Bible Question: who is Theophilus? |
Bible Answer: Easton Bible Dictionary Entry on Theophilus lover of God, a Christian, probably a Roman, to whom Luke dedicated both his Gospel (Lu 1:3) and the Acts of the Apostles (Ac 1:1). Nothing beyond this is known of him. From the fact that Luke applies to him the title "most excellent", the same title Paul uses in addressing Felix (Ac 23:26; 24:3) and Festus (Ac 26:25), it has been concluded that Theophilus was a person of rank, perhaps a Roman officer. Hope it would help, God bless |
