Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference Analysis — Acts, English → Czech
Purpose and Method
This document catalogs every Old Testament quotation and significant allusion in the book of Acts (chapters 1–28), every messianic reference and typological pattern, and every meaningful parallel to the baseline Romans Language Package already governing this pipeline. Its purpose is to give Phase 2 translators a single reference for (a) which OT background must be actively supplied for a low-biblical-literacy Czech readership, (b) which citations must render identically wherever they recur across the Acts and Romans curricula, and (c) which typological arguments (a Czech reader has essentially no prior category for “type/fulfillment” reasoning) require explicit scaffolding rather than assumption.
Governing rule: Every term or doctrine already assigned a Czech rendering and risk tier in the baseline translation_memory.json / bible_term_registry.json or in this curriculum’s own 07_semantic_analysis.md / 08_core_glossary.md is reused here exactly, with the identical risk tier, unless a specific new cross-reference risk is being flagged.
Citation Normalization Convention
All citations in this document, and in all Phase 2 output, must follow the Czech Ecumenical Translation (ČEP) book-name convention already established in the baseline (12_ai_translation_requirements.md, Cross-Reference Preservation Rules), extended here to cover every OT/NT book quoted or alluded to in Acts. Format: <Czech book name> <chapter>:<verse>, Arabic numerals throughout, full book name (not abbreviated), e.g. Skutky apoštolů 2:38, Genesis 15:6.
| English Book Name | Czech (ČEP) Rendering | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Acts | Skutky apoštolů | NEW — establish for this curriculum |
| Genesis | Genesis | Reused (implicit in baseline imputed_righteousness note) |
| Exodus | Exodus | NEW — establish |
| Deuteronomy | Deuteronomium | NEW — establish |
| 2 Samuel | 2. Samuelova | NEW — establish |
| Psalms | Žalmy | REUSED — baseline |
| Isaiah | Izaiáš | REUSED — baseline |
| Joel | Jóel | REUSED — baseline |
| Amos | Ámos | NEW — establish |
| Habakkuk | Abakuk | REUSED — baseline |
| Romans | Římanům | REUSED — baseline |
Rule: whenever a citation appears in both the Acts and Romans curricula (see Part 3 below), the Czech book-name form must be identical across both documents, even where the cited verse differs (e.g., Abakuk appears in Acts 13:41 and Romans 1:17, quoting two different verses of the same book — the book name rendering “Abakuk” must still match exactly).
Part 1 — OT Quotation and Allusion Matrix, Chapter by Chapter
| Acts Passage | Theme | Related Character(s) | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skutky apoštolů 1:8 | Great Commission Fulfilled | Jesus, apostles | Allusion: Izaiáš 49:6 (“light…to the end of the earth”); programmatic thesis verse for the whole book, structurally parallel to Římanům 1:16-17 | High. Must be rendered identically wherever cited (see Section C of 08_core_glossary.md); the totalizing geographic claim (“až na konec země”) requires active teaching, since a secular reader has no default sense that this describes an actual, historically fulfilled mission trajectory rather than hyperbole. |
| Skutky apoštolů 1:20 | Apostolic Authority | Peter, Judas | Quotation: Žalmy 69:26 (“let his habitation be desolate”) and Žalmy 109:8 (“let another take his office”) | Medium. Imprecatory-psalm genre is unfamiliar to a secular reader; must be explained as scriptural pattern-fulfillment applied to Judas’s betrayal, not personal vindictiveness by the apostles. |
| Skutky apoštolů 2:16-21 | The Holy Spirit and Pentecost | Peter, “all flesh” | Quotation: Jóel 2:28-32 (Septuagint numbering; ČEP Jóel 3:1-5) — the Spirit poured out “in the last days”; the phrase “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” is quoted identically in Římanům 10:13 | Critical. This is the single most important shared citation between the Acts and Romans curricula. See Part 3 rendering-consistency rule below — the Czech wording MUST be verbatim-identical in both curricula. |
| Skutky apoštolů 2:25-28 | Resurrection of Christ | David (typologically fulfilled in Christ) | Quotation: Žalmy 16:8-11 (“you will not abandon your Holy One to decay”) | Critical. Requires explicit typological scaffolding: David wrote of himself, but (per Peter’s own argument in vv.29-31) his words exceed his own biography and point to the Messiah’s bodily non-decomposition. A secular reader has no prior category for this “type exceeding the type” reasoning and it must be taught, not assumed. |
| Skutky apoštolů 2:30 | Davidic Covenant | David | Allusion: 2. Samuelova 7:12-16 (the Davidic covenant promise of an eternal throne) | Medium-High. Requires OT covenant background per baseline covenant/smlouva (High) notes; without 2 Samuel 7 supplied, “seed of David” (potomek Davidův, already Medium in baseline) has no anchor. |
| Skutky apoštolů 2:34-35 | Lordship of Christ | David (typologically), Christ | Quotation: Žalmy 110:1 (“sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool”) | Critical. Second messianic proof-text in the sermon reinforcing exaltation; connects directly to the Critical-tier Pán confession of v.36. Must be taught alongside v.25-28 as part of a single cumulative argument, not as an isolated proof-text. |
| Skutky apoštolů 3:13 | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles / Deity of Christ | Peter, “the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” | Allusion: Exodus 3:6 | Low-Medium. Establishes covenant continuity; low risk beyond needing patriarchal names to be recognizable (already established in general biblical proper-name conventions). |
| Skutky apoštolů 3:22-23 | Messianic Promise | Moses (typologically fulfilled in Christ) | Quotation: Deuteronomium 18:15-19 (“the Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me…”) | High. Moses-as-type-of-Christ is a foundational messianic pattern recurring again in Skutky apoštolů 7:37; requires explicit typological teaching, since “prophet like Moses” carries zero pre-existing content for a secular reader without the Exodus narrative supplied. |
| Skutky apoštolů 3:25 | Davidic/Abrahamic Covenant, Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Abraham (typologically fulfilled in Gentile mission) | Allusion: Genesis 22:18 / Genesis 26:4 (“in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed”) | High. Grounds the entire Gentile-inclusion arc of Acts in Abraham’s covenant; must be cross-referenced with covenant (smlouva, High) and connects forward to Skutky apoštolů 13:47 and 15:16-18 (Part 3 below has the Romans parallel). |
| Skutky apoštolů 4:11 | Apostolic Authority, Lordship of Christ | Peter (addressing the Sanhedrin) | Quotation: Žalmy 118:22 (“the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone”) | High. “Stone” testimonia tradition; connects to Římanům 9:33’s quotation of Izaiáš 28:16 (see Part 3). Must not be flattened to a generic architecture metaphor — this is a rejection-then-vindication Christological claim. |
| Skutky apoštolů 4:25-26 | Persecution and Bold Witness | David (typologically), rulers of the earth | Quotation: Žalmy 2:1-2 (“why did the nations rage…against the Lord and against his Anointed”) | Medium-High. Establishes that opposition to Christ/the church was itself prophesied, not a surprise or a sign of the gospel’s failure — pastorally important given the “Persecution and Bold Witness” doctrine’s contemporary Czech relevance (a secular society’s default posture toward religious claims is often polite indifference rather than hostility, but the text anticipates active opposition too). |
| Skutky apoštolů 5 | (reviewed) | Gamaliel, apostles | No OT quotation. Gamaliel cites recent historical figures (Theudas, Judas the Galilean), not Scripture. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk. |
| Skutky apoštolů 6 | (reviewed) | Stephen, the Seven | No direct OT quotation in this chapter; sets up ch. 7’s extensive OT recitation. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk. |
| Skutky apoštolů 7:2-16 | Apostolic Authority (background), Fulfillment of Prophecy | Abraham, Joseph, Jacob | Extended narrative retelling of Genesis 12–50 (Abraham’s call, Joseph sold into Egypt, the patriarchs’ burial) | High. Requires the fullest OT narrative scaffolding in the entire book; a secular Czech reader will have no prior exposure to this material at all. Flag the implicit Joseph typology (rejected by his own brothers, exalted, becomes his people’s deliverer) as a recognized pattern worth surfacing explicitly in teaching material, even though Stephen’s speech itself does not state the typology outright. |
| Skutky apoštolů 7:17-43 | Fulfillment of Prophecy | Moses, Israel in the wilderness | Extended narrative retelling of Exodus (the burning bush, Exodus 3:5-10; the golden calf, Exodus 32); Quotation: Ámos 5:25-27 (the star-god Rephan/Moloch worship) | High. Requires full Exodus narrative background; the golden-calf apostasy narrative is essential to Stephen’s indictment (Israel’s historic pattern of resisting God’s messengers) and must not be presented as an isolated curiosity. |
| Skutky apoštolů 7:37 | Messianic Promise | Moses (typologically fulfilled in Christ) | Quotation: Deuteronomium 18:15 (repeat of Skutky apoštolů 3:22) | High. Must render identically to the Skutky apoštolů 3:22-23 rendering for internal Acts consistency. |
| Skutky apoštolů 7:49-50 | Deity of Christ, Church as Community | Stephen (quoting Isaiah against a temple-bound view of God) | Quotation: Izaiáš 66:1-2 (“heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool…”) | Medium-High. Argues God is not confined to a building — directly relevant to the baseline’s already-documented risk that secular Czechs associate “kostel”/“církev” primarily with architecture; this verse is a natural teaching bridge for that exact confusion. |
| Skutky apoštolů 7:51 | The Holy Spirit and Pentecost | Stephen, the Sanhedrin | No direct OT quotation, but Stephen’s indictment (“you always resist the Holy Spirit, as your fathers did”) summarizes the whole preceding OT recitation as a pattern of Spirit-resistance | Critical (reuses Duch svatý, Critical). Establishes the Spirit’s personal agency across covenant history — see also Skutky apoštolů 5:3-4. |
| Skutky apoštolů 8:32-33 | Conversion of Paul (background — precedes Paul’s own conversion but establishes the same Christological pattern), Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | The Ethiopian eunuch, Philip | Quotation: Izaiáš 53:7-8 (“he was led as a sheep to the slaughter…”) | Critical. The Suffering Servant text is the OT’s clearest advance portrait of Christ’s substitutionary death; must be explicitly connected to the atonement doctrine already flagged Critical in the baseline escalation rules (propitiation language, Římanům 3:25) and to Skutky apoštolů 20:28’s “purchased with his own blood.” Requires mandatory theologian review. |
| Skutky apoštolů 9 | (reviewed) | Saul/Paul, Ananias | No direct OT quotation in the conversion narrative itself. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk, though see Part 2 below for the typological resonance of Paul’s Damascus-road encounter with OT theophany patterns (light, falling to the ground — cf. Exodus 3, Ezekiel 1). |
| Skutky apoštolů 10 | (reviewed) | Cornelius, Peter | No direct OT quotation; the vision echoes (without quoting) Levitical clean/unclean categories (cf. Leviticus 11). | Reviewed — flag the Leviticus background as implicit, not quoted, so no separate citation entry is required, but translators should be aware the “clean/unclean” vocabulary (08_core_glossary.md #56) draws on this unquoted background. |
| Skutky apoštolů 11 | (reviewed) | Church at Antioch | No direct OT quotation. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk. |
| Skutky apoštolů 12 | (reviewed — typological echo only) | Peter, angel of the Lord | No direct OT quotation; Peter’s prison deliverance echoes (without quoting) the Exodus/Passover deliverance pattern | Medium. Worth flagging in teaching material as a “new exodus” echo — God delivering his people from bondage through a decisive nighttime act — though no specific verse is cited and no separate translation risk beyond the already-documented providence (Medium) and anděl Páně (Medium) entries. |
| Skutky apoštolů 13:33 | Sonship of Christ, Deity of Christ | David (typologically), Christ | Quotation: Žalmy 2:7 (“You are my Son, today I have begotten you”) | Critical. Directly parallel in theological substance (though not verbal quotation) to Římanům 1:4’s “declared to be the Son of God…by the resurrection.” See Part 3. |
| Skutky apoštolů 13:34-35 | Resurrection of Christ | David (typologically), Christ | Quotation: Izaiáš 55:3 (“I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David”); Žalmy 16:10 (repeat of Skutky apoštolů 2:27) | Critical. Must render the Žalmy 16:10 clause identically to its Skutky apoštolů 2:27 rendering for internal-book consistency. |
| Skutky apoštolů 13:41 | Persecution and Bold Witness | Paul (warning the Antioch synagogue) | Quotation: Abakuk 1:5 (“Look, you scoffers, be astounded and perish…”) | High. Same OT book (Abakuk) as Římanům 1:17’s foundational “the righteous shall live by faith” (Abakuk 2:4), but a different verse used for a warning rather than the gospel’s positive thesis. See Part 3 rendering-consistency rule — the book name “Abakuk” must match exactly across both curricula even though the cited verses differ, and translators/reviewers should be alert that the SAME prophet is being cited for two very different rhetorical purposes across the two curricula. |
| Skutky apoštolů 13:47 | Mission to the Nations, Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Paul, Barnabas | Quotation: Izaiáš 49:6 (“I have made you a light for the Gentiles…to the ends of the earth”) — same source text underlying the Skutky apoštolů 1:8 allusion | High. Must be cross-referenced with Skutky apoštolů 1:8 as the same Isaiah passage grounding the book’s programmatic mission thesis; reinforce the “light to the Gentiles” phrase’s consistency across both occurrences. |
| Skutky apoštolů 14:15 | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Paul, Barnabas, the Lystra crowd | Allusion: Exodus 20:11 / Žalmy 146:6 (“the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them”) | Medium. Standard creation-affirmation formula; low direct citation risk, though see 08_core_glossary.md #73 (“živý Bůh”) for the accompanying conceptual risk of a secular reader defaulting to an impersonal “prime mover” reading. |
| Skutky apoštolů 15:16-18 | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles, Justification apart from the Law | James, the Jerusalem Council | Quotation: Ámos 9:11-12 (“I will rebuild the fallen tent of David…that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who bear my name”) | Critical. The Jerusalem Council’s OT warrant for full Gentile inclusion without circumcision; must be taught alongside Skutky apoštolů 15:11 (Part 3 below) as a single decisive argument. Requires mandatory theologian review given its direct bearing on “Justification apart from the Law.” |
| Skutky apoštolů 16 | (reviewed) | Lydia, the Philippian jailer | No new OT quotation; the salvation-confession formula (16:30-31) echoes the pattern already established at Skutky apoštolů 2:21/38 rather than citing new Scripture. | Reviewed — no new citation, but see 08_core_glossary.md Section C for this passage’s mandatory verbatim-consistency status. |
| Skutky apoštolů 17:24-28 | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Paul, the Areopagus | Allusion: Genesis 1 (creation); Izaiáš 42:5 (“God, who made the world and everything in it”); direct quotation of pagan Greek poets (Epimenides; Aratus/Cleanthes, “we are his offspring”) | High. Translators must clearly distinguish the quoted pagan poetry (cited approvingly as a partial truth, but not inspired Scripture) from the OT allusions — conflating the two risks implying Scripture and Greek philosophy carry equal authority, a distinction with no automatic signal in translated prose and therefore requiring an explicit note. |
| Skutky apoštolů 18 | (reviewed) | Paul, Gallio | No OT quotation. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk. |
| Skutky apoštolů 19 | (reviewed) | Paul, Ephesian disciples | No new OT quotation. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk. |
| Skutky apoštolů 20:28 | Apostolic Authority, Atonement | Paul, the Ephesian elders | Allusion (no direct quotation): Exodus 15:16 / Žalmy 74:2 (“the people you purchased/acquired”) — the “acquired with his own blood” language draws on OT redemption-price imagery | Critical. Atonement-price language paralleling Skutky apoštolů 8:32-33’s Isaiah 53 quotation and Římanům 3:25’s propitiation material; must not be diluted into a generic “great cost” metaphor. Mandatory theologian review per baseline escalation rules. |
| Skutky apoštolů 20:28-29 | Church as Community | Ephesian elders | Allusion: Ezekiel 34 (shepherds of Israel; false shepherds who scatter the flock) | Medium. Background allusion informing the shepherd/elder vocabulary (08_core_glossary.md #67); not a direct quotation but worth flagging for the “starší/dohlížitel/pastýř” terminology cluster. |
| Skutky apoštolů 21 | (reviewed — typological pattern only) | Agabus, Paul | No OT quotation; Agabus’s prophetic sign-act (binding his own hands and feet) echoes the genre of OT prophetic sign-acts (cf. Izaiáš 20:2-4; Jeremiáš 13:1-11), though no specific verse is cited | Medium. Flag the sign-act genre as a recognizable OT prophetic pattern worth a brief explanatory note, since a secular reader has no framework for symbolic prophetic action distinct from ordinary demonstration or performance art. |
| Skutky apoštolů 22 | (reviewed) | Paul (retelling his conversion) | No new OT quotation. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk. |
| Skutky apoštolů 23:5 | Persecution and Bold Witness | Paul, the high priest Ananias | Allusion: Exodus 22:28 (“you shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people”) | Low-Medium. Paul’s self-correcting citation after his own sharp retort; models scriptural self-governance even under provocation — a minor but pastorally useful cross-reference. |
| Skutky apoštolů 24:14 | Fulfillment of Prophecy | Paul, Felix | General reference (not a specific quotation): “everything laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets” | Medium. Affirms continuity between Paul’s gospel and the entirety of the OT canon as a category; a secular reader needs “the Law and the Prophets” explained as a recognized way of referring to the whole Hebrew Scriptures, not two arbitrary named items. |
| Skutky apoštolů 25 | (reviewed) | Paul, Festus, Agrippa | No OT quotation. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk. |
| Skutky apoštolů 26:18 | Conversion of Paul, Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Paul (recounting his commissioning) | Allusion: Izaiáš 42:6-7 / 49:6 (“to open their eyes…turn them from darkness to light”) | High. Same Isaiah “Servant” material underlying Skutky apoštolů 1:8 and 13:47; reinforces the light/darkness conversion imagery as a single cross-book thread. |
| Skutky apoštolů 26:22-23 | Fulfillment of Prophecy, Resurrection of Christ | Paul, Agrippa | General reference summarizing “what the prophets and Moses said would happen” (i.e., Christ’s suffering and resurrection) — the cumulative OT witness already itemized in Skutky apoštolů 2, 3, 8, 13 | High. Functions as Paul’s own summary citation of the whole preceding messianic-proof-text tradition (Žalmy 16, Izaiáš 53, etc.); flag as a good teaching opportunity to review the full messianic argument built across the book. |
| Skutky apoštolů 27 | (reviewed) | Paul, the ship’s crew | No OT quotation. | Reviewed — no new cross-reference risk. |
| Skutky apoštolů 28:26-27 | Fulfillment of Prophecy, Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Paul, Roman Jewish leaders | Quotation: Izaiáš 6:9-10 (“you will indeed hear but never understand…this people’s heart has grown dull”) | Critical. The book’s closing OT quotation; a judicial-hardening text with a direct parallel in Římanům 11:8 (Part 3 below). Requires mandatory theologian review given its bearing on Israel’s response to the gospel — must not be rendered in a way that reads as anti-Jewish polemic rather than the sober, sorrowful biblical-prophetic idiom the text itself uses (Paul’s own tone in Římanům 9:1-3; 10:1 is grief, not contempt, and translated teaching material should model the same posture). |
| Skutky apoštolů 28:28 | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles, Great Commission Fulfilled | Paul | Allusion: Izaiáš 49:6 / Žalmy 67 (“this salvation of God…sent to the Gentiles”) — closing bookend to Skutky apoštolů 2:39’s “all who are far off” | Critical (reuses spasení, Critical). Final narrative fulfillment of the Gentile-inclusion arc launched at Pentecost; see 08_core_glossary.md Section C. |
Part 2 — Messianic References and Typology
Typological reasoning (“David/Moses/Joseph’s words or experience point beyond themselves to a greater fulfillment in Christ”) is a mode of argument entirely absent from ordinary secular Czech reading habits and cannot be assumed to register without explicit teaching. The following patterns recur across Acts and require consistent explanatory scaffolding wherever they appear:
- David as a type of Christ (Skutky apoštolů 2:25-31, 34-35; 13:34-36; 4:25-26). Peter’s argument in 2:29-31 is the clearest self-conscious statement of the pattern in the book: David, though himself buried and decayed, spoke prophetically of a descendant whose body would not decay. This “type exceeded by its fulfillment” logic should be flagged every time it recurs, not only at its first occurrence, since a reader who missed the explanation in chapter 2 will have no way to recover it later without a repeated cue.
- Moses as a type of Christ (Skutky apoštolů 3:22-23; 7:37, quoting Deuteronomium 18:15). The “prophet like Moses” is presented as a specific, named OT expectation fulfilled in Jesus — distinct from a vague “great teacher” comparison. Requires the Exodus narrative background (Moses as covenant mediator) to carry any force.
- The Suffering Servant (Skutky apoštolů 8:32-35, quoting Izaiáš 53:7-8). The clearest OT portrait of vicarious, substitutionary suffering applied directly and explicitly to Jesus by the text itself (Philip’s own interpretation in v.35). This is the single most theologically load-bearing typological/prophetic text in Acts for the atonement doctrine and should be cross-taught with Římanům 3:25 and Skutky apoštolů 20:28.
- Joseph as an implicit type (Skutky apoštolů 7:9-16). Stephen’s speech narrates but does not explicitly interpret the pattern of a man rejected by his own brothers who later becomes their deliverer and is reconciled to them — a pattern later Christian teaching has long recognized as anticipating Christ’s rejection and exaltation. Since the text itself leaves this implicit, translated teaching material may supply the connection as a suggested typological observation, clearly distinguished from the text’s own explicit claims (contrast with points 1–3 above, where the NT text itself states the typology).
- Sinai and Pentecost (Skutky apoštolů 2:1-4, cf. Exodus 19:16-19). The fire, the sound, and the “all the people” pattern of Pentecost deliberately echo the giving of the Law at Sinai; the Spirit’s outpouring is presented as inaugurating a New Covenant reality that both fulfills and exceeds Sinai. Because the Czech Language Package’s core passage note already identifies the fire/wind imagery’s wordplay loss (see
07_semantic_analysis.md, Acts 2:2-3), this Sinai echo must be supplied by an explicit translator’s note, not by vocabulary alone. - Babel reversed (Skutky apoštolů 2:5-11, cf. Genesis 11:1-9). The division of languages at Babel, a judgment on human pride, becomes at Pentecost the vehicle of gospel unity across every language — languages divided in judgment are now used in blessing. This contrast is entirely dependent on the reader knowing the Babel narrative, which cannot be assumed; supply briefly wherever Pentecost’s multilingual miracle is taught.
- New Exodus deliverance (Skutky apoštolů 12:1-11, Peter’s deliverance from prison; Skutky apoštolů 27, the shipwreck). Neither passage quotes the Exodus narrative directly, but both echo its pattern of God’s people delivered from bondage/danger through decisive divine intervention, often through unglamorous, ordinary means (an angel’s simple instructions in ch.12; navigational skill and practical provisions in ch.27). Useful corrective to an all-or-nothing view of miracle, consistent with the baseline’s
providencedoctrine notes.
Part 3 — Parallels to Romans: Rendering-Consistency Rules
The following table records every substantive parallel between Acts and the baseline Romans Language Package. Where the SAME Old Testament text is quoted in both curricula (rows 1 and 7), the Czech rendering is mandatory-identical and any deviation must be flagged for theologian review. Where the parallel is thematic/doctrinal rather than a shared verbatim citation, the rule requires consistent terminology (drawing on the same baseline glossary entries) rather than verbatim identity of the surrounding sentence.
| # | Acts Passage | Romans Passage | Shared Element | Rendering-Consistency Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Skutky apoštolů 2:21 (quoting Jóel 2:32) | Římanům 10:13 (quoting the same Jóel text) | Identical OT quotation: “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” | MANDATORY VERBATIM MATCH. Czech rendering “každý, kdo vzývá jméno Páně, bude spasen” must be used in BOTH curricula with zero deviation. This is the single highest-priority cross-curriculum consistency rule in this document. |
| 2 | Skutky apoštolů 13:38-39 | Římanům 3:20-28; Římanům 4:1-25 | Justification apart from the Law (thesis statement in both books) | Must use baseline ospravedlnění (Critical) and zákon (High) exactly; already flagged Critical in 08_core_glossary.md Section A/C. Mandatory theologian review whenever either passage is translated. |
| 3 | Skutky apoštolů 15:11 | Římanům 3:24; 5:1-2; 11:5-6 | Grace, faith, Lordship, and salvation combined in a single synthetic clause | Reuse milost, víra, Pán, spasení exactly per baseline; already flagged Critical in 08_core_glossary.md Section A/C given the compounding of four Critical/High terms. |
| 4 | Skutky apoštolů 4:11 (quoting Žalmy 118:22) | Římanům 9:33 (quoting Izaiáš 28:16) | Shared “stone” testimonia tradition — a rejected stone becomes either cornerstone or stumbling-stone depending on response | Not a shared verbatim quotation (different OT source verses), but requires consistent Czech “kámen”/“úhelný kámen” vocabulary across both curricula and a cross-reference note connecting the two texts as a single early-church proof-text tradition. |
| 5 | Skutky apoštolů 9:15; 13:48 | Římanům 9:11-23 | Election / “chosen instrument” / “vessel” vocabulary | Reuse baseline vyvolení (High) exactly; per the baseline’s Escalation Rules, any predestination/election-language segment requires mandatory theologian review in both curricula. |
| 6 | Skutky apoštolů 20:28; 8:32-35 | Římanům 3:25; 5:9 | Atonement / propitiation / redemption-by-blood language | Both curricula require mandatory theologian review per the baseline’s atonement/propitiation escalation rule; ensure “vykoupil/získal svou vlastní krví” and “krví” language in Acts is theologically continuous with, and does not contradict, Romans’ propitiation vocabulary even though no single Czech term is shared verbatim. |
| 7 | Skutky apoštolů 28:26-27 (quoting Izaiáš 6:9-10) | Římanům 11:8 (quoting Izaiáš 29:10 / Deuteronomium 29:4); Římanům 10:16-21 | Israel’s judicial hardening / partial unbelief | Different OT source verses, but the SAME theological argument (a sovereignly permitted hardening that is neither final nor a pretext for contempt). Translators must render both with the same sober, grieving tone Paul himself models in Římanům 9:1-3 and 10:1 — never a triumphalist or dismissive register. Mandatory theologian review in both curricula. |
| 8 | Skutky apoštolů 3:25 (alluding to Genesis 22:18/26:4) | Římanům 4:13-17 | Abrahamic covenant promise extended to “all nations”/“many nations” | Reuse baseline covenant (smlouva, High) and Gentiles (pohané, Medium) exactly; both passages ground Gentile inclusion in the SAME Abrahamic promise and should be cross-referenced in teaching material. |
| 9 | Skutky apoštolů 13:33 (quoting Žalmy 2:7) | Římanům 1:4 | Sonship of Christ declared/confirmed through resurrection | Not a shared verbatim OT quotation, but the same theological claim (Christ’s Sonship publicly vindicated at the resurrection). Reuse Syn Boží (Critical) exactly in both; requires the same Trinitarian scaffolding note in both curricula. |
| 10 | Skutky apoštolů 17:31 | Římanům 2:16; 14:10 | Christ as the appointed judge of all people at the resurrection | Reuse vzkříšení (Critical) and judgment vocabulary consistently; flag as reinforcing assurance_of_salvation’s companion doctrine (final judgment) already present in the Romans baseline. |
| 11 | Skutky apoštolů 13:41 (quoting Abakuk 1:5) | Římanům 1:17 (quoting Abakuk 2:4) | Same OT prophetic book (Abakuk) quoted for contrasting rhetorical purposes — warning of judgment in Acts, foundational thesis of faith in Romans | Book-name rendering “Abakuk” must be identical in both curricula (per the Citation Normalization Convention above) even though the cited verses and rhetorical functions differ; flag for reviewers so the two occurrences are not mistakenly treated as the same verse. |
| 12 | Skutky apoštolů 2:39; 11:18; 15:16-18 | Římanům 11:11-24 | Gentile inclusion as a single continuous doctrinal arc (promise extended “to all who are far off” → the “wild olive branches” grafted in) | Both curricula narrate the same doctrinal reality from different angles (Acts narratively, Romans argumentatively); ensure pohané (Medium), povolání/vyvolení (High) vocabulary is applied with full consistency across both, since a reader moving between the two curricula should recognize this as one continuous storyline, not two separate teachings. |
Part 4 — Chapters Reviewed with No OT Quotation or New Cross-Reference
The following chapters were reviewed in full against Part 1 above and contain no direct Old Testament quotation and no new typological pattern beyond what is already documented elsewhere in this book: Skutky apoštolů 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 16, 18, 19, 22, 25, 27. Each is noted explicitly here per the full-book-coverage mandate, rather than being silently omitted. Several of these chapters (9, 10, 27) do contain notable typological resonance without a specific quoted verse; these are cross-referenced in Part 2 above rather than duplicated in the Part 1 matrix.
This document extends, and must never contradict, the baseline Romans Language Package (translation_memory.json v1, bible_term_registry.json, doctrine_risk_registry.json v1) or this curriculum’s own 07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md.
See 10_biblical_theme_map.md for the full thematic-structure analysis this cross-reference matrix supports.
