as the second part of the two-part work luke–acts, acts has significant links to the gospel of luke. major turning points in the structure of acts, for example, find parallels in luke: the presentation of the child jesus in the temple parallels the opening of acts in the temple, jesus's forty days of testing in the wilderness prior to his mission parallel the forty days prior to his ascension in acts, the mission of jesus in samaria and the decapolis (the lands of the samaritans and gentiles) parallels the missions of the apostles in samaria and the gentile lands, and so on (see gospel of luke). these parallels continue through both books. there are also differences between luke and acts, amounting at times to outright contradiction. for example, the gospel seems to place the ascension on easter sunday, immediately after the resurrection, while acts 1 puts it forty days later. there are similar conflicts over the theology. while not seriously questioning the single authorship of luke–acts, these differences do suggest the need for caution in seeking too much consistency in books written in essence as popular literature.
