Cross-Reference Analysis

Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis: Acts 1–28 (English → Konkani)

Scope and Method

This document catalogs every Old Testament quotation and significant allusion in the book of Acts, chapter by chapter, plus messianic references, typological patterns, and parallels to the baseline Romans Language Package already delivered for Konkani. It extends analysis/07_semantic_analysis.md and analysis/08_core_glossary.md and must be read alongside them.

Citation format: All citations in this document use the normalizable English convention <Book> <chapter>:<verse> (e.g., “Acts 2:21”, “Joel 2:32”, “Genesis 15:6”) so that citations can be programmatically matched across language packages. This is an internal analysis convention only. Final Konkani-facing translated text must follow the baseline’s Konkani citation convention (book name + Arabic numerals, e.g., “रोमकारांक 3:23”). For this curriculum, Acts = प्रेषितांचीं कृत्यां (Preṣitāncī Kṛtyā, “The Deeds of the Apostles”) is hereby established as the Konkani/Marathi-family Bible book name and should be added to the Konkani book-name convention table in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md in Phase 2.

OT book names for this document (extending the baseline’s existing Genesis/Psalms/Isaiah/Habakkuk/Joel entries): Exodus = निर्गम; Leviticus = लेवीय; Numbers = गणना; Deuteronomy = अनुवाद; 1 Samuel = 1 शमुएल; 2 Samuel = 2 शमुएल; Amos = आमोस; Jeremiah = यिर्मया; Ezekiel = येहेज्केल.


Part 1 — Direct Old Testament Quotations, Chapter by Chapter

#Acts PassageOT SourceThemeRelated Character(s)OT/NT ConnectionTranslation Sensitivity
1Acts 1:20Psalm 69:25; Psalm 109:8Divine Calling / Apostolic Authority (replacing Judas)Judas, David (psalmist), MatthiasProphetic judgment-oracle on a betrayer applied to Judas; restoration of the TwelvePsalm 69 is also quoted in Romans 11:9-10 (different verses, vv.22-23) regarding Israel’s partial hardening. Same psalm, two curricula, two different verse-ranges — do not conflate; keep citations verse-precise so Konkani cross-reference footnotes do not imply a single shared quotation.
2Acts 2:17-21Joel 2:28-32Holy Spirit & Pentecost; Universal Scope of the GospelJoel (prophet), PeterDirect, extended fulfillment quotation — the Spirit poured out “on all flesh”CRITICAL cross-curriculum overlap: Joel 2:32b (“everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”) is also quoted in Romans 10:13. The Konkani rendering of this clause MUST be verbatim-identical in both curricula: “जो कोणूय प्रभूच्या नांवान उलो मारतलो तो तारतलो.” Any divergence between the Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13 renderings will create a visible inconsistency for learners cross-referencing both curricula.
3Acts 2:25-28Psalm 16:8-11Resurrection of ChristDavid (psalmist, speaking prophetically of Christ), Christ”You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor let your Holy One see corruption” — direct resurrection prophecyRe-quoted (v.10 only) at Acts 13:35 — must render identically both times. “Hades/place of the dead” must not be equated with Yama’s realm/naraka in regional Hindu cosmology (see 07_semantic_analysis ch.2 note).
4Acts 2:302 Samuel 7:12-13 (allusion); Psalm 132:11Davidic Covenant; Messianic PromiseDavid, GodGod’s sworn oath to set David’s offspring on his throne — background for Christ’s enthronementRequires OT covenant background explanation, per baseline’s davidic_covenant doctrine entry.
5Acts 2:34-35Psalm 110:1Lordship of Christ; Deity of ChristDavid (psalmist), God the Father, Christ”The LORD said to my Lord, sit at my right hand” — the dual-Lord text proving Christ’s deityCross-curriculum overlap: Romans 8:34 alludes to this same verse (“who is at the right hand of God”). Both प्रभू occurrences in the Acts 2:34 quotation must be rendered distinctly-but-consistently (Father as प्रभू/देव addressing the Son as प्रभू), matching the Christological weight already established for Romans 8:34’s allusion.
6Acts 3:13Exodus 3:6, 15 (allusion)Continuity of the Covenant God; exclusivity of GodMoses (author), the patriarchs”The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” — establishes continuity between the God of the fathers and the God who raised JesusPair with baseline exclusivity marker एकच खरो देव, since देव is shared vocabulary with Goan Hindu deity-naming.
7Acts 3:22-23Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19Messianic Promise; Fulfillment of ProphecyMoses (type), Christ (fulfillment)“The Lord your God will raise up a prophet like me” — repeated at Acts 7:37Foundational Moses-typology text (see Part 2 below). Must render identically at both occurrences.
8Acts 3:25Genesis 22:18 (also Genesis 26:4)Abrahamic Covenant; Gospel to Jews and GentilesAbraham, “all the families of the earth""In your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed”Distinguish sharply from Romans 4’s Genesis 15:6 (“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness” — the imputed-righteousness anchor text). Acts 3:25 cites the nations-blessing promise (Gen 22:18); Romans 4 cites the faith-credited promise (Gen 15:6). These are two distinct Genesis texts about Abraham and must never be merged into a single citation or a single paraphrase in teaching notes.
9Acts 4:11Psalm 118:22Messianic rejection and vindication; Apostolic AuthorityChrist (the stone), Jewish leaders (the builders)“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone”Cross-curriculum overlap: Romans 9:33 combines this same OT stone-image tradition (via Isaiah 8:14/28:16) into a “stone of stumbling” quotation. Konkani rendering of “cornerstone” (कोपऱ्याचो मुळ दगड) should be fixed now and reused if/when the Romans package’s Isaiah 28:16/Psalm 118:22 material is revisited.
10Acts 4:25-26Psalm 2:1-2Opposition to Christ foreseen; ProvidenceDavid (psalmist), Herod, Pilate, rulers”Why did the nations rage… against the Lord and against his Anointed”Same psalm partially re-quoted at Acts 13:33 (Psalm 2:7). Keep both occurrences internally consistent.
11Acts 7:2-3Genesis 12:1Abrahamic call; Fulfillment of ProphecyAbrahamStephen’s speech begins the sweeping OT historical recitalSee Part 2, Stephen’s speech typology.
12Acts 7:6-7Genesis 15:13-14; Exodus 3:12Providence; Fulfillment of ProphecyAbraham, Israel in EgyptThe 400-years-of-slavery prophecy to Abraham, quoted as literally fulfilledReinforces देवाची तरतूद [baseline]: God’s purposive plan spanning centuries, not fate.
13Acts 7:27-28Exodus 2:14Rejection of God’s chosen deliverer (Moses-type)Moses, an Israelite”Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?” — Israel’s initial rejection of MosesDirectly applied by Stephen (7:35) as a type of Israel’s rejection of Christ. See Part 2.
14Acts 7:30-34Exodus 3:5-10Theophany; Providence; Divine CallingMoses, GodThe burning-bush commissioning of MosesParallels the Damascus-road commissioning of Paul (ch.9); see Part 2.
15Acts 7:37Deuteronomy 18:15Messianic Promise (repeat of #7)Moses, ChristRestated within Stephen’s speechMust match Acts 3:22-23 rendering exactly.
16Acts 7:40Exodus 32:1Idolatry; Israel’s covenant unfaithfulnessAaron, Israel”Make us gods to go before us” — the golden calfSets up the idolatry-judgment quotation that follows (Amos 5).
17Acts 7:42-43Amos 5:25-27Judgment on idolatryIsrael (wilderness generation)God’s rebuke of empty sacrifice paired with idol-worship, and the resulting exileNew OT book (आमोस) for this curriculum; low ambiguity risk but doctrinally significant tie to the idols/मूर्ती sensitivity flagged at Acts 17.
18Acts 7:49-50Isaiah 66:1-2God’s transcendence; critique of localized worshipIsaiah (prophet), Solomon (implicit, re: the Temple)“Heaven is my throne, earth is my footstool… what house will you build for me?”Must not be rendered as a rejection of the church/मंडळी or of corporate worship generally — it critiques confining God to a building, echoed later in Acts 17:24.
19Acts 8:32-33Isaiah 53:7-8Suffering Servant; Fulfillment of Prophecy; Substitutionary sufferingThe Ethiopian eunuch (reader), Philip (interpreter), Christ”Like a sheep led to the slaughter” — the Servant’s silent, unjust sufferingRomans does not directly quote Isaiah 53, but Romans’ atonement doctrine (3:25; 5:8-9) and the baseline’s imputed_righteousness entry rest on the same Suffering-Servant theology. Fix the Konkani rendering of “sheep led to slaughter” now (कापपाक व्हरतात तशें मेंढरू) for reuse if Isaiah 53 is ever quoted in future Romans-adjacent Konkani material.
20Acts 13:221 Samuel 13:14; Psalm 89:20 (allusion)Davidic CovenantDavid”A man after my own heart”Low risk; establishes David’s credentials before the covenant promise.
21Acts 13:33Psalm 2:7Sonship of Christ; ResurrectionDavid (psalmist), Christ”You are my Son, today I have begotten you” — applied to the resurrection/exaltationCritical translator-note requirement: “begotten” here names the Father’s public installation/vindication of the Son into manifest messianic glory at the resurrection, not the origin of his eternal Sonship (per baseline sonship_of_christ: the Son is eternal, uncreated). Same handling as Acts 2:36 (“God has made him both Lord and Christ”).
22Acts 13:34Isaiah 55:3Davidic Covenant fulfilledDavid, Christ”I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David”Ties covenant-promise language to resurrection permanence (contrast David’s own body, which decayed — v.36).
23Acts 13:35Psalm 16:10Resurrection of Christ (repeat of #3)David, ChristRestated within Paul’s Pisidian Antioch sermonMust match Acts 2:27 rendering exactly.
24Acts 13:41Habakkuk 1:5Warning against unbelief; Fulfillment of ProphecyHabakkuk (prophet), unbelieving hearers”Look, you scoffers, be astounded and perish”Cross-curriculum book-name consistency: Romans 1:17 quotes Habakkuk 2:4 (“the righteous shall live by faith”) — a different verse of the same book. Both curricula must use the identical Konkani book name हबकूक; do not introduce a second spelling.
25Acts 13:47Isaiah 49:6Gospel to Jews and Gentiles; Great CommissionPaul, Barnabas (applying the Servant-text to their own mission)“I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth”Thematically parallels the OT chain-quotation on Gentile inclusion in Romans 15:9-12 (2 Samuel 22:50/Psalm 18:49, Deuteronomy 32:43, Psalm 117:1, Isaiah 11:10). Different specific texts, same theological trajectory — keep the underlying doctrine (gospel_to_jews_and_gentiles) consistently framed across both curricula.
26Acts 15:16-18Amos 9:11-12Justification apart from the Law; Davidic Covenant; Gospel to Jews and GentilesJames (citing), Amos (prophet)“I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen… that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name”The “tent/tabernacle of David” is the messianic kingdom encompassing Gentiles, not a literal building project — relevant to the baseline’s caution about kingdom_of_god avoiding political/nationalist misreadings.
27Acts 17:24-25Isaiah 42:5; 1 Kings 8:27; Psalm 24:1 (allusion)God’s transcendence; general revelationPaul, Athenian philosophers”The God who made the world… does not live in temples made by hands”Echoes Acts 7:49-50 (Isaiah 66) — same critique of confining God to a shrine; must not be read as devaluing the मंडळी (church) as gathered community.
28Acts 17:26Genesis 1:28; Deuteronomy 32:8 (allusion)Providence; unity of humankindPaul (speaking to Athenians)“From one man he made every nation… having determined their appointed times and boundaries”Extends the baseline’s unity_of_jews_and_gentiles doctrine to all ethnicities — directly relevant to caste-hierarchy confrontation.
29Acts 17:28Not Scripture — quotations of Greek poets (Epimenides; Aratus, Phaenomena)Apologetic method; general revelationPaul, Greek poets”In him we live and move and have our being”; “we are his offspring”Must be flagged distinctly from OT quotations — these are pagan literary sources used as an apologetic bridge, methodologically comparable to Thomas Stephens’ use of Puranic ovi-meter convention in the Kristapurana (per baseline inspiration_of_scripture doctrine note). Teaching material must make clear Paul is not endorsing the poets’ theology, only borrowing a phrase as a rhetorical bridge toward proclaiming the one true God.
30Acts 20:35Not OT — an unwritten saying of Jesus (agraphon), not recorded in the GospelsChristian ethics; generosityPaul (quoting Christ)“It is more blessed to give than to receive”Flag as a dominical saying preserved only here in the NT canon; treat with full authority but note its textual uniqueness in any teaching apparatus.
31Acts 23:5Exodus 22:28Respect for civil/religious authorityPaul, the high priest Ananias”You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people”Directly parallels the baseline’s Romans 13:1-7 government/authority doctrine handling; consistent framing (lawful respect, not political resistance) should be used in both curricula.
32Acts 26:14Not OT — a classical Greek proverb (cf. Euripides, Bacchae)Futility of resisting God’s callThe risen Christ (speaking to Saul)“It is hard for you to kick against the goads”Same category as Acts 17:28 — a non-Scriptural literary allusion placed in Christ’s own mouth; flag distinctly from OT citations.
33Acts 28:26-27Isaiah 6:9-10Fulfillment of Prophecy; partial hardening of IsraelIsaiah (prophet), Paul (applying to unbelieving Jews in Rome)“You will indeed hear but never understand… this people’s heart has grown dull”Cross-curriculum parallel: Romans 11:8 quotes a composite of Deuteronomy 29:4 and Isaiah 29:10 on the same theme (a “spirit of stupor”). Different specific texts, identical doctrinal point — both curricula must frame this as partial and temporary hardening within God’s larger redemptive plan (Romans 11:25-26), never as ethnic Israel’s permanent or total rejection.

Part 2 — Typology and Extended Allusion (Not Direct Quotations)

Passage(s)Typological PatternOT AnchorNT FulfillmentTranslation Sensitivity
Acts 1:9-11Bodily ascension/removal of a righteous man into heavenElijah’s ascension (2 Kings 2:11); Enoch (Genesis 5:24)Christ’s unique ascensionMust be distinguished from these OT precedents as categorically greater: Christ ascends in his own authority to resume/openly display eternal divine glory (sonship_of_christ, deity_of_christ), not merely being “taken” as a righteous servant was. Also must never be framed as an avatar-style withdrawal-and-return per the baseline’s incarnation caution.
Acts 7:9-16The rejected-but-exalted deliverer who saves those who rejected himJoseph (Genesis 37, 39-50)Christ, rejected by his own people, becomes their SaviorExplicit typological logic in Stephen’s speech; a strong teaching resource for the messianic_promise and deity_of_christ doctrines — Joseph is a genuine OT “type,” not a competing avatar-figure.
Acts 7:17-43; 3:22-23; 7:37The prophet-deliverer, rejected at first, later vindicatedMoses (Exodus 1-32; Deuteronomy 18:15)Christ as “the Prophet like Moses”Central messianic-promise typology for Acts; must be taught as one specific, linear, historically-fulfilled OT expectation, not one of several avatar/prophet figures.
Acts 4:11 (Psalm 118:22); cf. 7:9,52Rejected stone / rejected servant / rejected prophets, all vindicated by GodPsalm 118:22; Joseph and Moses narratives; “which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute?” (7:52)Christ, the ultimate rejected-and-vindicated onePattern recurs across the whole book; useful as a unifying typological thread for teaching Acts’ Christology.
Acts 2:1-4 (fire, wind, at Pentecost)Sinai theophany (fire, thunder, voice, at the giving of the Law)Exodus 19:16-19; Exodus 24:12, 17; Exodus 31:18The Spirit poured out, writing God’s law on heartsLater Jewish tradition already associated Shavuot/Pentecost with the Sinai law-giving; Acts 2 typologically fulfills Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:26-27 (new covenant, new heart, Spirit within) — background allusion, not direct quotation, but valuable for teaching the contrast between law-on-stone and Spirit-in-the-heart. Must be handled so as not to suggest the Mosaic covenant is disparaged, only fulfilled/superseded per Romans’ own law doctrine framing.
Acts 9:1-9Prophetic call-theophany (light, voice, falling down, commission)Isaiah 6; Ezekiel 1-2; Exodus 3 (burning bush)Paul’s commissioning as apostle to the GentilesReinforces conversion_of_paul and election doctrines: a sovereign, personal divine summons, not a mystical vision-quest achievable by human religious technique.
Acts 12:20-23 (Herod’s death, “eaten by worms”)Judgment on a proud king who accepts worship/glory due to God aloneDaniel 4 (Nebuchadnezzar); Isaiah 14 (king of Babylon)God alone receives गौरव [baseline TM: glory]Reinforces the baseline’s glory doctrine — no human ruler may occupy the honor due to God alone; relevant given Goa’s own history of contested royal/colonial claims to honor.
Acts 2:44-45; 4:32-35Ideal covenant community with no poor among themDeuteronomy 15:4-11; Leviticus 25 (Jubilee provisions)The early church’s voluntary economic sharingSupports church_as_community doctrine: a Spirit-produced generosity, not a legally mandated redistribution or caste-based patronage obligation.
Acts 16:16-18Contrast between condemned occult divination and true prophecyDeuteronomy 18:10-11 (prohibition of divination) — the very same chapter (Deuteronomy 18:15) that promises the true Prophet, quoted at Acts 3:22/7:37Paul casts out the divining spirit in Christ’s nameA deliberately ironic scriptural echo worth surfacing in teaching notes: the chapter that forbids false divination is the same chapter that promises the true Prophet who fulfills genuine revelation.

Part 4 — Cross-Curriculum Rendering-Consistency Rules (Acts ↔ Romans)

These rules govern segments where Acts and the existing Romans Language Package quote, allude to, or theologically depend on the same underlying Scripture. Phase 2 workers must check this table before finalizing any of the listed passages.

Rule #Shared Text or DoctrineActs CitationRomans CitationRule
R1”Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved”Acts 2:21Romans 10:13Render verbatim identically: “जो कोणूय प्रभूच्या नांवान उलो मारतलो तो तारतलो.” Both quote Joel 2:32b.
R2”Jesus is Lord” / Lordship confession registerActs 2:36; 16:31Romans 10:9 (“येशू प्रभू आसा”)All confession-of-Lordship formulas across both curricula must use प्रभू with the same exclusive, supreme force; no softened phrasing.
R3Psalm 110:1 (“sit at my right hand”)Acts 2:34-35 (direct quotation)Romans 8:34 (allusion)Keep “उजव्या हाताक” (right hand) phrasing consistent; preserve the Father-addressing-the-Son dual-Lord structure in both.
R4Psalm 118:22 / stone traditionActs 4:11Romans 9:33 (combined with Isaiah 8:14/28:16)Fix Konkani “cornerstone” as कोपऱ्याचो मुळ दगड and reuse if Romans’ Isaiah/Psalm stone material is revisited.
R5Habakkuk citationsActs 13:41 (Habakkuk 1:5)Romans 1:17 (Habakkuk 2:4)Use identical Konkani book name हबकूक in both; do not treat as the same quotation — they are different verses.
R6Abraham/Genesis textsActs 3:25 (Genesis 22:18, blessing to nations)Romans 4:3 (Genesis 15:6, faith credited as righteousness)Keep these two Genesis Abraham-texts distinct in citation and in teaching paraphrase; never merge into one “Abraham promise” statement.
R7Isaiah “hardening” motifActs 28:26-27 (Isaiah 6:9-10)Romans 11:8 (Deuteronomy 29:4 / Isaiah 29:10 composite)Frame consistently in both curricula as partial, temporary hardening of ethnic Israel within God’s redemptive plan (cf. Romans 11:25-26), never total or permanent rejection.
R8Isaiah 49:6 / Gentile-inclusion prophecy chainActs 13:47; 26:23Romans 15:9-12 (chain quotation)Same theological trajectory (Gentile inclusion foretold); keep gospel_to_jews_and_gentiles doctrine framing aligned across both curricula even though the specific proof-texts differ.
R9Sonship/“begotten” language at resurrectionActs 2:36; 13:33 (Psalm 2:7)Romans 1:4 (“declared to be the Son of God… by the resurrection”)Both must carry the same translator-note: this is public installation/vindication into manifest messianic glory, not the origin of the Son’s eternal being. Reuse the Romans 1:4 translator-note pattern already established in the baseline for Acts 2:36 and 13:33.
R10Grace apart from the works of the LawActs 15:11; 13:38-39Romans 3:20-28; 4:1-8; 11:5-6Must match baseline कृपा / नीतिमान ठरवणें / नियमशास्त्र renderings exactly; Acts’ Jerusalem Council (ch.15) and Pisidian Antioch sermon (ch.13) are Acts’ own anchor-texts for the Romans doctrine of justification_apart_from_the_law.
R11Circumcision as a superseded covenant signActs 15:1,5; 16:3; 21:21(Romans does not treat circumcision at length in the same way as Galatians, but cf. Romans 2:25-29, 4:11)Keep सुंता consistent; frame as: not required for salvation, but observed by some believers (e.g., Timothy, ch.16) for missional sensitivity, never for merit.
R12Government/authority respectActs 23:5 (Exodus 22:28)Romans 13:1-7Consistent framing: lawful respect for civil/religious authority, not political resistance nor unconditional submission where it conflicts with obeying God (cf. Acts 5:29).
