| Summary |
Nelson Estrada examines the apostlesGÇÖ transformation of status from followers to leaders in Acts 1GÇô2. He challenges the common view that Acts 1:12GÇô14 is the preparation for the coming of the Spirit in Acts 2, and that the sole purpose of Acts 1:15GÇô26 is to set the number of the apostles at twelveGÇöin line with JesusGÇÖ prophecy in Luke 22:30. Instead, Estrada reads Acts 1:12GÇô14 and 1:15GÇô26 as primarily propagandistic in nature. He argues that these pericopes promote the leadership integrity of the apostles by attempting to win the support of the women disciples and JesusGÇÖ family |
