 Chapter 1 gives us that which is connected with the Lord’s resurrection; chapters 2-12, that work of the Holy Spirit of which Jerusalem and the Jews were the center, but which branches out into the free action of the Spirit of God, independent of, but not separated from, the twelve, and Jerusalem as the center; chapter 13 and the succeeding chapters, the work of Paul, flowing from a more distinct mission from Antioch, chapter 15 connecting the two in order to preserve unity in the whole course. (THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES by J.N. Darby)
 It would seem that Theophilus had either ceased to hold a governorship (or whatever other public position—of a magisterial kind the inspired historian implies by the title “most excellent": cf. Acts 23:26; 24:3; 26:25, with Luke 1:3), or had become so matured in faith and so spiritual as to value title as little as position. (Acts 1:1-11 by W. Kelly)
 What is commonly though not correctly called “the Acts of the Apostles"; for it is rather the inspired narrative of the risen Lord working in the energy of the Holy Ghost sent down from on high and witnessing to Him there. (Acts 1:1-11 by W. Kelly)
