Links to all of the chapters of Acts are listed below . Each chapter has been exegeted word-by-word, verse-by-verse.

This document has been updated January 23, 2024. So far, there are 8171 pages in the chapter-by-chapter commentary (this is Acts 1–28, all of which are in 1st or 2nd draft form).

At this point, the entire book of Acts—Acts 1–28—is now in second draft form. As a second draft, approximately 100 translations have been consulted; a full exegesis of every verse has been done with three original translations (a slavishly literal translation, a mostly literal translation, and a paraphrase). There will be a theological dictionary within the document so that certain difficult words can be sussed out within the document. The nearly literal translation and the paraphrase will be double-checked and placed at the end of the chapter (in the Addendum). Excess translation references have been removed (I do not simply throw in miscellaneous translations; I try to reproduce those translations which have some unique factor, even if it is just a section heading). Often more graphics have been added. Often additional doctrines have been added to the addendum. It is not unusual for there to be 2 or more years between 1st and 2nd drafts. I completed all chapters as 2nd drafts by January 2024.

So far, Acts 1–28 are more or less complete at this time. They contain 3 original translations (which have been double-checked), full word-by-word Greek exegesis, translations taken from over 100 available, a full commentary, a vocabulary index and sometimes graphics. The Introduction to the Book of Acts has also been partially completed (but it will require a great deal of work in the future).

Once the book of Luke has been completed in the weekly lessons (which are sent out), then I will begin to send out weekly lessons in the book of Acts.

These files can also be accessed individually via the links below or from within the Acts folder: http://kukis.org/Acts/

If you download the *.wpd document (s), they will download with the *.htm extension (don't ask me why); you must change this extension and they will become normal WP documents in every respect. At some point in time, everything found in these weekly studies will be transferred over to the chapter-by-chapter studies. The weekly studies are designed for the average Bible student. The chapter-by-chapter studies (like those listed below) are designed for research (pastor teachers, commentators, missionaries, Sunday School teachers).

To help you distinguish between the two tracks of study which I have done in the book of Acts. At some point, I will produce a reduced sized commentary for the book of Acts as well.
The weekly lessons for Acts have not yet been started. They will start as soon as I complete the book of Luke. At that time, I will also put together an abbreviated study of Acts as well.
The Two Studies in Acts
Weekly Lessons/Study	Chapter Study
These are sent out by email once a week to those who request them.	These lessons are organized by chapter and posted on my website only.
The lessons are 4–5 pages each and designed to be read at one sitting.	In its finished form a single chapter may be anywhere from 100–600 pages long.
Designed for the average believer, evangelists, and Sunday school teachers.	Designed for research for pastors, other commentators, seminary students, evangelists, and Sunday school teachers. The document is designed to make it easy to find specific verses and sections.
Even though these are less extensive than the chapter studies, these lessons are by no means dumbed down.

Every 25 lessons or so are bundled up and posted on my website into groups of 100 lessons each.	Once a chapter has been completed in the weekly lessons, all of those notes are transferred into the chapter-by-chapter studies. A completed chapter study has each verse exegeted word-by-
word; with 3 original translations, original commentary, and well-organized groups of other translations (culled out from about 100 translations). I have begun to include some commentary from a handful of commentators.
Acts 1 in these weekly lessons is 186 pages long, broken down into 38 lessons.	Acts 1 in the chapter study is 566 pages long and designed to be easily navigated.

It is not unusual for a chapter in Acts to run 400+ pages. Therefore, it may take longer for them to load in your computer's memory. If memory is a problem, go to the HTML documents, which are much smaller by comparison. And in any case, you are always welcome to download the material for study.

Although the Word Perfect documents load up and show as *.wpd documents; when downloaded, the extension changes to *.htm (don't ask me why). Just change the extension using Windows Explorer or some other file management program. If the WP document is saved as a zip file, then you would just download it and unzip it.

For whatever reason, when you download a WPD from my site, it will have an HTM extension. When you manually change the extension to *.wpd, it will behave exactly as a WordPerfect document. The WPD files which are stored as zip files don't require anything other than downloading and unzipping. If you download these files, check the dates and download the latest version.

Although I would love to consult other commentators sometime in the future, Acts 1 & 2 may represent just how far I am able to go in those chapters of Acts (I may not have time to round it out by referencing other commentators).

For the few of you who use WordPerfect (which is the original format of my work), if you download one of my chapters as a *.wpd file, the extension will change into *.htm. On your computer, manually change it back to a *.wpd file (using whatever file manager you use), and it will behave exactly like a WordPerfect document. I cannot explain why this happens.
