Cross-Reference Analysis — Acts — English → Ukrainian
Purpose and Method
This document catalogs every load-bearing Old Testament quotation and allusion, every messianic reference, every typological pattern, and every substantive parallel to the baseline Romans/Galatians Language Package found across the whole book of Acts (chapters 1–28), with the core passage Acts 2:1–41 given the fullest treatment as the curriculum’s theological anchor. It extends, and never contradicts, analysis/07_semantic_analysis.md and analysis/08_core_glossary.md.
Each row of the cross-reference matrix records: the Acts passage, the OT/NT source text and connection type (direct quotation vs. allusion), the doctrine/theme it serves, the related biblical character(s), and a translation-sensitivity assessment using the shared Critical/High/Medium/Low framework from doctrine_risk_registry.json. Chapters contributing no new cross-reference material beyond what is already logged are noted explicitly as reviewed.
Citation Normalization Rule
All citations in this document and all downstream Phase 2 artifacts must use the normalized format Book Chapter:Verse (e.g., Acts 2:17, Joel 2:28, Genesis 15:6, Psalm 16:10), with hyphenated verse ranges (Acts 2:17-21) and semicolon-separated multiple references (Acts 13:34; Acts 2:27). This English-normalized form is the internal cross-reference key used across all Language Package documents (07, 08, 09, 10, and the forthcoming 11/12 doctrine and AI-instruction documents). For rendering into Ukrainian-facing Phase 2 output, citations convert to the Ohienko-tradition abbreviated form per the table below, consistent with 12_ai_translation_requirements.md’s existing Cross-Reference Preservation Rules.

PART 1 — Cross-Reference Matrix: Core Passage, Acts 2:1–41
| Acts Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme/Doctrine | Related Character(s) | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 2:1 | Leviticus 23:15-16 (Feast of Weeks/Shavuot background) | Allusion (feast calendar) | The Holy Spirit and Pentecost | — | Critical — П’ятдесятниця collides with Трійця folk-feast association (see 07). Must anchor the feast-day name to this narrative explicitly. |
| Acts 2:2-4 | Genesis 2:7; Ezekiel 37:9-14; John 3:8 (wind/breath = Spirit motif) | Allusion (typological echo) | Holy Spirit and Pentecost | — | Medium — Ukrainian вітер/Дух pair cannot reproduce Greek πνοή/πνεῦμα wordplay; state connection explicitly. |
| Acts 2:5-11 | Genesis 11:1-9 (Tower of Babel, implicit reversal) | Typological allusion | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles / Great Commission | — | High — Babel’s confusion-of-tongues reversed by Pentecost’s gift-of-tongues; teach explicitly as a whole-Bible arc, not assumed. |
| Acts 2:16-21 | Joel 2:28-32 | Direct quotation | Holy Spirit and Pentecost; Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Peter | Critical — v.21’s clause on “calling on the name of the Lord” quotes the identical LXX text cited at Romans 10:13. Must render identically (see Part 4). “All flesh” universality must not be narrowed. |
| Acts 2:25-28 | Psalm 16:8-11 | Direct quotation | Resurrection of Christ; Conversion (Peter’s argument) | David / Christ | Critical — anchors bodily воскресіння; Ад/Hades needs the gloss recorded in 07 (realm of the dead, not final punishment). |
| Acts 2:29-31 | 2 Samuel 7:12-16; Psalm 132:11 | Allusion | Davidic Covenant; Messianic Promise | David | Medium — requires supplied Davidic-covenant background per baseline’s davidic_covenant doctrine note. |
| Acts 2:30 | (pattern) Romans 1:3 “seed of David” | Cross-curriculum parallel | Davidic Covenant; Incarnation | David / Christ | Medium — reuse [TM] з насіння Давидового exactly. |
| Acts 2:34-35 | Psalm 110:1 | Direct quotation | Lordship of Christ | David / Christ | High — climactic Lordship confession (v.36); restore personal force per baseline’s lordship_of_christ caution against creed-line flattening. |
| Acts 2:36 | (thematic) Psalm 2:7; Psalm 110:1 combined | Allusion/synthesis | Lordship of Christ; Sonship of Christ | Christ | High, inherited. |
| Acts 2:38-39 | Joel 2:32 (again); Isaiah 57:19 (allusion, “those far off”) | Direct quotation + allusion | Repentance and Baptism; Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Peter | Critical — see full treatment in 07/08 (покаяння, хрещення, дар Святого Духа); breadth of “those far off” must not be prematurely narrowed. |
| Acts 2:39 | Ephesians 2:13, 17 (identical phrase, “far off,” applied explicitly to Gentiles) | Forward NT echo (outside this curriculum but doctrinally load-bearing) | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | — | Medium — note for exposition only; Ephesians is outside this curriculum’s translation scope but the connection should inform teaching notes. |
PART 2 — Cross-Reference Matrix: Chapters 1, 3–28
Acts 1
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 1:8 | Isaiah 49:6 (allusion, “to the end of the earth”) | Allusion | The Great Commission Fulfilled | Jesus / Apostles | High — programmatic thesis statement of the whole book; parallel structural role to Romans 1:16-17 (see Part 4). |
| Acts 1:16-20 | Psalm 69:25; Psalm 109:8 | Direct quotation | Apostolic Authority | Judas / Peter | Medium — жереб (lot-casting, v.26) must not read as folk-divination; frame as Scripture-guided, prayerful discernment. |
Acts 3
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 3:13, 26 | Isaiah 52:13-53:12 (Suffering Servant) | Allusion | Justification apart from the Law (atonement background); Apostolic Authority | Jesus | Medium — Слуга Божий; requires supplied Isaianic background. |
| Acts 3:22-23 | Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19 | Direct quotation | Messianic Promise | Moses / Christ | High — resurfaces the “prophet like Moses” typology; recurs verbatim-parallel at Acts 7:37 — render consistently within Acts. |
| Acts 3:25 | Genesis 22:18; Genesis 12:3 | Allusion/quotation | Abrahamic Covenant and Promise | Abraham | High — direct doctrinal parallel to Galatians 3:8, 16 (seed_of_abraham/[TM] насіння); render consistently (see Part 4). |
Acts 4
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 4:11 | Psalm 118:22 | Direct quotation | Apostolic Authority; rejection-then-exaltation pattern | Peter / Christ | Medium — standard rejected-stone typology, low collision. |
| Acts 4:24 | Psalm 146:6; Exodus 20:11; Nehemiah 9:6 | Allusion | Church prayer; Creator God | Church (corporate) | Low. |
| Acts 4:25-26 | Psalm 2:1-2 | Direct quotation | Messianic Promise; opposition to Christ fulfilled in Herod/Pilate | Herod, Pilate, Christ | High — ties directly into Sonship of Christ doctrine; note thematic parallel to Psalm 2:7 quoted later at Acts 13:33. |
Acts 5
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 5:30 | Deuteronomy 21:22-23 (“hanged on a tree”) | Allusion | Law and Grace; the Cross | Christ | Critical — direct cross-curriculum parallel to Galatians 3:13 (curse_of_the_law, “cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”). See Part 4 for mandatory rendering-consistency rule. |
| Acts 5:31 | (thematic) 2 Samuel 7 royal-exaltation pattern | Allusion | Lordship of Christ; Salvation | Christ | Medium. |
Acts 6
No new OT quotations beyond narrative allusion to accusations echoing Jesus’s own trial (cf. Mark 14:58 par., NT-NT typological parallel: false witnesses against Stephen mirror false witnesses against Jesus). Chapter reviewed; theme: Persecution and Bold Witness, Medium risk, inherited from μάρτυς/false-witness vocabulary already logged in 07/08.
Acts 7 (Stephen’s Speech — the densest OT concentration in Acts)
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 7:2-8 | Genesis 12:1; 15:13-14; 17:8, 10-14 | Quotation/allusion | Abrahamic Covenant; Circumcision | Abraham | High — parallels Galatians 3’s covenant chronology and Galatians 5’s circumcision debate; reuse [TM] завіт, обрізання exactly. |
| Acts 7:9-16 | Genesis 37; 39-50 | Allusion | Rejection/exaltation typology | Joseph | Medium — typological pattern (rejected by brothers, becomes their deliverer) prefiguring Christ; teach explicitly, not assumed. |
| Acts 7:17-43 | Exodus 1-32 (narrative summary) | Allusion | The Law’s giving; Moses typology | Moses | Medium/High — foundational for later Law-and-Grace doctrine (cf. Galatians 3:19-25’s виховник/law_guardian entry). |
| Acts 7:27, 35 | Exodus 2:14 | Direct quotation | Rejected-deliverer typology | Moses / Christ | Medium — “who made you a ruler and a judge?” — Moses rejected by his own before being sent again as deliverer, a type fulfilled in Christ’s rejection and exaltation. |
| Acts 7:30-34 | Exodus 3:2-10 | Direct quotation | Divine calling; theophany | Moses | Medium — burning-bush call narrative; structural parallel to Saul’s Damascus-road call (Acts 9), noted in Part 3 below. |
| Acts 7:37 | Deuteronomy 18:15 (repeat of Acts 3:22) | Direct quotation | Messianic Promise | Moses / Christ | High, inherited; render identically to Acts 3:22-23. |
| Acts 7:40 | Exodus 32:1 | Direct quotation | Israel’s unfaithfulness (golden calf) | Israel | Low. |
| Acts 7:42-43 | Amos 5:25-27 | Direct quotation | Idolatry and judgment | Israel | Low. |
| Acts 7:44 | Exodus 25:40 | Allusion | Tabernacle/Temple typology | Moses | Medium — feeds into Church-as-God’s-people doctrine (God’s presence not confined to a structure). |
| Acts 7:46-47 | 2 Samuel 7 (implicit); 1 Kings 6 | Allusion | Temple; Church as God’s People | David, Solomon | High — sets up Stephen’s climactic point (v.48-50) that God is not confined to any building — directly useful, with care, for teaching церква as the universal people of God rather than any one physical/jurisdictional structure (baseline church_as_gods_people doctrine). |
| Acts 7:49-50 | Isaiah 66:1-2 | Direct quotation | God’s transcendence over Temple | Stephen (speaking) | Medium. |
| Acts 7:51 | Isaiah 63:10; Exodus 32:9 | Allusion | Resisting the Holy Spirit | Israel / Sanhedrin | High — see 07’s full treatment; must read as Stephen’s own historical indictment, never weaponized against a contemporary Ukrainian church body. |
| Acts 7:53 | Deuteronomy 33:2 | Allusion | The Law’s origin | Moses / Israel | Medium. |
| Acts 7:58-60 | Luke 23:34, 46 (NT-NT typological parallel) | Typological parallel | Persecution and Bold Witness; witness-to-martyr arc | Stephen / Christ | High — Stephen’s dying prayer deliberately echoes Christ’s own words from the cross; a load-bearing typological parallel the curriculum should make explicit, tying to the мученик/martyr entry in 07/08. |
Acts 8
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 8:32-33 | Isaiah 53:7-8 | Direct quotation | Suffering Servant Christology; Gospel to Jews and Gentiles (a Gentile-adjacent eunuch) | Christ / Ethiopian eunuch | Critical — the Servant’s substitutionary suffering must be anchored explicitly (per baseline caution against generalizing atonement language); this is Acts’ clearest direct-quotation link to the Servant Christology also implicit at 3:13, 26. |
| Acts 8:26-40 (background) | Deuteronomy 23:1 (eunuch exclusion) vs. Isaiah 56:3-5 (eunuch inclusion promise) | Allusion (background tension) | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Ethiopian eunuch | Medium — supply this background explicitly; the narrative embodies Isaiah 56’s inclusion-promise being fulfilled. |
Acts 9
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 9:3-6 | Exodus 3:2-10 (Moses’ call); Isaiah 6:1-8 (Isaiah’s call) | Typological allusion (no direct quotation) | Conversion of Paul | Saul / Christ | High — Damascus-road call narrative follows the classic prophetic-commissioning pattern (theophany, resistance/awe, commission); teach as typological continuity, not verbal quotation. |
| Acts 9:15 | (thematic) Isaiah 49:1, Jeremiah 1:5 (prenatal/sovereign calling pattern) | Allusion | Conversion of Paul; Election | Saul | High — ties to [TM] обрання; “chosen instrument” must not collapse into доля/фатум. |
Acts 10
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 10:34-35 | Deuteronomy 10:17; 2 Chronicles 19:7 | Allusion | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | Peter / Cornelius | High — parallels the baseline’s unity_of_jews_and_gentiles doctrine; affirm full impartiality without qualification. |
| Acts 10:36 | Isaiah 52:7; Psalm 107:20 | Allusion | Gospel proclamation | Peter | Medium. |
| Acts 10:43 | (general) “all the prophets bear witness” — synthesis of prophetic fulfillment theme | Allusion (summary) | Fulfillment of Prophecy | Peter | Low, inherited from baseline’s fulfillment_of_prophecy doctrine. |
Acts 11
No direct OT quotation. Acts 11:16 alludes back to Acts 1:5/Luke 3:16 (John the Baptist’s prophecy of Spirit-baptism, an NT-NT cross-reference) as fulfilled at Pentecost and now again at Cornelius’s household. Chapter reviewed; theme: Holy Spirit and Pentecost, Gospel to Jews and Gentiles — inherits existing Critical/High flags, no new OT source.
Acts 12
No direct OT quotation. Herod’s death (12:23) echoes the broader biblical pattern of divine judgment on proud rulers (cf. Daniel 4; Isaiah 14) as a typological resonance rather than a citation. Chapter reviewed; theme: Providence, Apostolic Authority — Medium risk, general pattern only.
Acts 13
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 13:22 | 1 Samuel 13:14; Psalm 89:20 | Allusion | Davidic Covenant | David | Low. |
| Acts 13:33 | Psalm 2:7 | Direct quotation | Sonship of Christ | Christ | Critical — doctrinal (not verbal) parallel to Romans 1:4’s “declared Son of God”; both must cohere under [TM] Син Божий without contradiction. |
| Acts 13:34 | Isaiah 55:3 | Direct quotation | Davidic Covenant; guaranteed resurrection | Christ | Medium. |
| Acts 13:35 | Psalm 16:10 (repeat of Acts 2:27) | Direct quotation | Resurrection of Christ | Christ | Critical, inherited — must render identically to Acts 2:27’s citation of the same verse within this document’s own internal consistency. |
| Acts 13:39 | (forensic vocabulary, no direct OT citation) | Doctrinal statement | Justification apart from the Law | Paul | Critical, inherited — see 07/08; the book’s only explicit δικαιοῦται occurrence, must match Romans/Galatians виправдання exactly. |
| Acts 13:41 | Habakkuk 1:5 | Direct quotation | Warning against unbelief | Paul’s hearers | Medium — caution: this is a different verse from Habakkuk 2:4, the “by faith” prooftext quoted at Romans 1:17 and Galatians 3:11. These two Habakkuk citations must NOT be confused or rendered as if referring to the same verse; keep clearly distinguished by citation. |
| Acts 13:47 | Isaiah 49:6 | Direct quotation | Mission to the Nations; Light for the Gentiles | Paul / Barnabas | High — must render identically to Acts 26:23’s citation of the same verse (see Part 4). |
Acts 14
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 14:15, 17 | Exodus 20:11 (allusion); general-revelation theme | Allusion | Universal Human Accountability (general revelation) | Paul / Barnabas | Medium — direct doctrinal parallel to Romans 1:19-20’s general-revelation argument (see Part 4); should cohere with, not contradict, that Romans passage’s framing. |
Acts 15
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 15:16-17 | Amos 9:11-12 | Direct quotation | Justification apart from the Law; Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | James | Critical — James’s climactic proof-text resolving the Jerusalem Council; render Ukrainian text as the settled Ohienko-tradition wording where available. |
| Acts 15:1, 5, 24 | (implicit background) Genesis 17:10-14 circumcision covenant | Allusion (narrative controversy, not direct citation here) | Justification apart from the Law; Circumcision | Judaizing believers / Paul / Barnabas | Critical — this is the Acts-narrative counterpart to the entire Galatians letter; mandatory direct cross-reference to Galatians 2:1-16; 5:2-6; 6:12-15 using identical [TM] діла закону, обрізання, благодать terminology. |
| Acts 15:28 | (no OT citation) “it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us” | Doctrinal statement | The Holy Spirit and Pentecost; Apostolic Authority | The Council (corporate) | Critical, inherited from 07/08 — collides with the 1946 “Lviv Sobor” historical trauma if “Собор” is used carelessly; see full treatment there. |
Acts 16
No direct OT quotation. Household-salvation narratives (16:15, 31, 33-34) carry doctrinal weight already logged as High risk in 07/08 (paedobaptist/credobaptist tension) but no scriptural citation is involved. Chapter reviewed.
Acts 17
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 17:28 | Epimenides and/or Aratus and Cleanthes (pagan Greek poets, NOT Scripture) | Non-biblical citation used apologetically | Apostolic Authority and Miracles (apologetic method) | Paul | Medium — must be clearly distinguished in any footnote/teaching material as a citation of pagan literature, not of inspired Scripture, to avoid inadvertently implying canonical status. |
| Acts 17:31 | Daniel 12:2 (thematic echo, general resurrection/judgment) | Allusion | Resurrection of Christ; final judgment | Paul | Medium. |
Acts 18
No direct OT quotation. Acts 18:6 (“your blood be on your own heads”) echoes Ezekiel 33:4’s watchman motif, recurring more fully at Acts 20:26. Chapter reviewed; theme: Persecution and Bold Witness / Apostolic responsibility, Low risk.
Acts 19
No direct OT quotation. Theological weight (John’s baptism vs. Spirit-baptism, magic books burned) is fully logged in 07/08 under baptism, gift-of-the-Spirit, and magic/sorcery entries. Chapter reviewed.
Acts 20
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 20:26 | Ezekiel 33:1-6 | Allusion | Apostolic Authority; faithful proclamation | Paul | Low — идиом “innocent of the blood,” see 07/08. |
| Acts 20:35 | Unwritten saying of Jesus (not found verbatim in the canonical Gospels) | NT dominical-saying citation | Christian ethics; generosity | Jesus (quoted by Paul) | Low — note for teaching material that this saying, though attributed to Jesus, has no parallel Gospel verse; treat as authoritative apostolic testimony to an otherwise unrecorded saying, not an error or invention. |
Acts 21
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 21:11 | Isaiah 20:2-4; Jeremiah 13:1-11; Ezekiel 4:1-3 (prophetic sign-act pattern) | Typological pattern (no direct quotation) | Fulfillment of Prophecy | Agabus | Low — Agabus’s binding of Paul’s own belt follows the OT prophetic sign-act tradition; useful teaching connection, not a citation risk. |
Acts 22
Retelling of Acts 9; reuses the Moses/Isaiah call-narrative typology (see Acts 9 above) without new direct citation. Acts 22:14’s “God of our fathers” is covenant-continuity language tying to [TM] завіт/Ізраїль. Chapter reviewed.
Acts 23
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 23:5 | Exodus 22:28 | Direct quotation | Respect for civil/religious authority | Paul | Low — echoes the same civil-authority sensitivity already flagged for Romans 13 in the baseline; handle Acts’ civil-authority passages (23, 24, 25) with comparable wartime-context care. |
| Acts 23:6-8 | (doctrinal, not citation) Pharisee-Sadducee resurrection dispute | Historical-theological background | Resurrection of Christ | Pharisees / Sadducees | Critical, inherited — useful for teaching that resurrection was itself a contested first-century Jewish doctrine, not universally assumed. |
Acts 24
No direct OT quotation. Acts 24:25’s triad (righteousness, self-control, coming judgment) reuses [TM] праведність within a new phrase; see 07/08 entry #58. Chapter reviewed.
Acts 25
No direct OT quotation. Civil-appeal narrative (Paul’s appeal to Caesar); shares the same civil-authority sensitivity noted at Acts 23. Chapter reviewed.
Acts 26
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 26:18 | Isaiah 42:7, 16 | Allusion | Conversion of Paul; Mission to the Nations | Christ (commissioning Paul) | Medium. |
| Acts 26:23 | Isaiah 49:6 (repeat of Acts 13:47) | Direct quotation | Mission to the Nations | Paul | High, inherited — must render identically to Acts 13:47 (see Part 4). |
| Acts 26:23 | 1 Corinthians 15:20 (“firstfruits,” NT parallel, outside this curriculum but doctrinally connected) | Doctrinal echo | Resurrection of Christ | Christ | Medium — “the first to rise from the dead” anticipates the fuller firstfruits theology developed elsewhere; note for teaching continuity only. |
Acts 27
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 27:34 | Luke 21:18 (NT-NT echo); cf. 1 Samuel 14:45; 2 Samuel 14:11 (idiom pattern, “not a hair will perish”) | Allusion | Providence | Paul | Medium, inherited from 07/08’s “do not be afraid” entry. |
Acts 28
| Passage | OT/NT Source | Connection | Theme | Character | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Acts 28:26-27 | Isaiah 6:9-10 | Direct quotation | Israel’s hardening; Gospel to Jews and Gentiles; The Great Commission Fulfilled | Paul / Jewish leaders in Rome | Critical — direct partial-overlap parallel to Romans 11:8, which combines this same Isaiah 6:9-10 material with Deuteronomy 29:4 and Psalm 69:23. Any overlapping wording between the two occurrences must be rendered consistently; see Part 4. This is Acts’ closing scriptural citation and should be handled with the same theologian-review requirement the baseline assigns to Romans 9-11 material. |
PART 3 — Messianic References and Typology
Messianic References (Christ as Fulfillment of Specific OT Texts/Figures)
| OT Source | Acts Occurrence(s) | Messianic Content | Sensitivity |
|---|
| Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19 | Acts 3:22-23; 7:37 | ”A prophet like Moses” — Christ as the definitive prophetic mediator | High — resurface the fulfillment sense explicitly (baseline messianic_promise caution). |
| 2 Samuel 7:12-16 | Acts 2:29-31; 13:22-23, 34 | The eternal Davidic throne fulfilled in Christ’s resurrection and enthronement | Medium, inherited (davidic_covenant doctrine). |
| Psalm 2:7 | Acts 13:33 | ”You are my Son” — divine Sonship declared | Critical — coheres with Romans 1:4’s declared-Sonship language; must not contradict. |
| Psalm 16:8-11 | Acts 2:25-28; 13:35 | The Holy One who will not see decay — bodily resurrection prophesied | Critical, inherited (resurrection_of_christ doctrine). |
| Psalm 110:1 | Acts 2:34-35 | Enthronement at God’s right hand — Lordship confirmed | High, inherited (lordship_of_christ doctrine). |
| Isaiah 52:13-53:12 | Acts 3:13, 26; 8:32-35 | The Suffering Servant, explicitly quoted and applied to Christ’s suffering | Critical — anchor to substitutionary atonement, not generalized suffering-as-example. |
| Isaiah 49:6 | Acts 1:8 (allusion); 13:47; 26:23 (direct quotation) | “A light for the Gentiles… to the end of the earth” | High — recurs three times across the book; all three must cohere as one unified mission-fulfillment thread. |
| Amos 9:11-12 | Acts 15:16-17 | The restored “tent of David” now including the nations | Critical, inherited (Jerusalem Council). |
Typological Patterns
- Moses typology (Acts 3:22-23; 7:20-44; 7:37) — the rejected deliverer, sent again, whom Israel must heed; fulfilled in Christ, the greater Moses, rejected then vindicated.
- Joseph typology (Acts 7:9-16) — rejected by his own brothers, exalted by a foreign power, becomes his family’s deliverer and forgiver; an implicit pattern of Christ’s own rejection-then-exaltation-then-salvation-of-his-own-people.
- Davidic typology (Acts 2:25-36; 13:22-23, 32-37; 15:16-17) — the eternal, resurrected King fulfilling the promise to David’s house.
- Suffering Servant typology (Acts 3:13, 26; 8:32-35) — Christ as Isaiah’s Servant, suffering vicariously and vindicated.
- Temple/tabernacle typology (Acts 7:44-50) — God’s presence was never confined to a structure; fulfilled in the Spirit-indwelt church as God’s true dwelling (feeds the church_as_gods_people doctrine — a valuable teaching bridge given the acute contemporary weight of church-building/jurisdiction questions in Ukraine).
- New Sinai / New Exodus typology (Acts 2:1-4, implicit) — Pentecost occurring on the Feast historically associated with the Sinai giving of the Law becomes, in Luke’s narrative logic, the giving of the Spirit as the new-covenant counterpart; must be taught explicitly, since the Sinai/Pentecost-feast connection is not self-evident to a reader whose primary association with this date is Трійця.
- Babel-reversal typology (Acts 2:5-11) — the confusion of languages at Babel (Genesis 11) reversed in the gift of understood, dignified speech to every nation.
- Christ-pattern martyrdom typology (Acts 7:59-60, echoing Luke 23:34, 46) — Stephen’s death deliberately patterned after Christ’s own, establishing faithful witness-unto-death as a recurring, Christ-shaped pattern for the church (developed further in Ukraine’s own 20th-century and contemporary wartime martyr memory, per 07/08’s мученик entry).
- Prophetic-call typology (Exodus 3; Isaiah 6, echoed at Acts 9:3-6 and 26:12-18) — Saul’s conversion follows the classic theophany-resistance-commission pattern of OT prophetic calling, reframing his conversion as also a divine commissioning.
PART 4 — Parallels to Romans and Galatians (This Language Package) and Rendering-Consistency Rules
The following citations are shared verbatim or materially overlapping between Acts and the baseline Romans/Galatians curriculum in this same Language Package. Each requires an explicit rendering-consistency rule for Phase 2.
| Shared Citation | Acts Occurrence(s) | Romans/Galatians Occurrence | Rendering-Consistency Rule |
|---|
| Joel 2:32 (LXX) | Acts 2:21, 39 | Romans 10:13 | MANDATORY: “кожен, хто покличе ім’я Господнє, буде спасенний” (or the Language Package’s final agreed wording) must be word-for-word identical at all three occurrences. Reuse [TM] Господь, спасіння. |
| Deuteronomy 21:22-23 (“hanged on a tree”) | Acts 5:30; Acts 10:39 (allusion, “whom they killed by hanging him on a tree”) | Galatians 3:13 (curse_of_the_law, direct quotation) | MANDATORY: the phrase “hanged on a tree” (повішений на дереві or the Galatians package’s agreed wording) must be rendered identically across all three Acts/Galatians occurrences. This is the single most theologically significant unflagged parallel discovered in this analysis: Acts twice narrates the very event (crucifixion as tree-curse) that Galatians 3:13 interprets doctrinally. Both must cohere as describing the same reality. |
| Genesis 12:3 / 22:18 (“in your offspring/seed all nations will be blessed”) | Acts 3:25 | Galatians 3:8, 16 (seed_of_abraham, promise) | MANDATORY: reuse [TM] насіння exactly; the Abraham-promise-to-the-nations argument must read as one continuous biblical-theological line from Genesis through Acts through Galatians. |
| Psalm 2:7 | Acts 13:33 | (doctrinal, not verbal parallel) Romans 1:4 declared Son of God | Recommended: ensure Acts 13:33’s rendering of Psalm 2:7 and Romans 1:4’s “declared to be the Son of God” cohere as complementary, non-contradictory statements of the same Sonship doctrine ([TM] Син Божий). |
| Habakkuk 1:5 vs. Habakkuk 2:4 | Acts 13:41 (Hab. 1:5) | Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11 (Hab. 2:4) | MANDATORY DISTINCTION: these are two different verses in the same OT book and must never be conflated, cross-referenced as if identical, or rendered with overlapping phrasing that could cause a reader to confuse Paul’s “the righteous shall live by faith” (Hab. 2:4) with the Acts 13:41 scoffers’-warning citation (Hab. 1:5). |
| Isaiah 6:9-10 | Acts 28:26-27 | Romans 11:8 (combined with Deuteronomy 29:4; Psalm 69:23) | MANDATORY: where the Isaiah 6:9-10 wording overlaps between the two occurrences (“seeing you will see and not perceive,” “ears… but not hear”), render identically. Both occurrences serve the same doctrinal point (partial, temporary hardening of Israel within an unbroken covenant faithfulness) and must be taught, per the baseline’s unity_of_jews_and_gentiles doctrine, without a supersessionist reading. |
| Amos 9:11-12 / Genesis 17:10-14 (circumcision covenant) narrative | Acts 15 (Jerusalem Council) | Galatians 2:1-16; 3:6-29; 5:2-6; 6:12-15 (entire letter) | MANDATORY: Acts 15 is the narrative event Galatians 2 also describes (or a closely related meeting); use identical terminology for діла закону, обрізання, благодать, віра, and виправдання across both books’ treatment of this controversy. Any Phase 2 lesson referencing both should cross-link explicitly. |
| Exodus 20:11 / general revelation | Acts 14:15, 17 | Romans 1:19-20 | Recommended: Acts 14’s brief general-revelation statement to a pagan Lystran crowd should cohere with, and may be taught as a narrative enactment of, Romans 1:19-20’s fuller theological argument. |
| Genesis 15:6 — explicit non-match note | (Not directly quoted in Acts; Genesis 15 appears only via Genesis 15:13-14 at Acts 7:6-7, a different verse in the same chapter) | Romans 4:3; Galatians 3:6 (imputed_righteousness) | Caution: translators must not assume or manufacture a Genesis 15:6 citation in Acts 7’s Abraham narrative merely because both texts discuss Genesis 15. Acts 7:6-7 quotes the sojourning-and-suffering prophecy (15:13-14), not the imputed-righteousness verse (15:6). Keep these two distinct citations from the same chapter clearly separated in any teaching cross-reference. |
| Leviticus 19:18 (love of neighbor) | (Not quoted or alluded to in Acts) | Galatians 5:14 | No consistency rule needed; noted here only to confirm this Galatians citation has no Acts parallel and should not be forced into one. |
