The events themselves: what happened, where the retelling has drifted from the text, and what the scene was really like.

The register: 12 studies of this kind
- Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5)This page walks Acts 5:1-11 on the six-beat iconic-story pattern, drawing the chapter's own three-hour gap as a clock and naming what the text does not say rather than filling the silence.
- Cornelius and Peter, Acts 10This page walks Acts 10 as two visions moving toward each other, a Roman officer's angel and a fisherman's vision of a sheet, and charts the exact order of events showing the Holy Spirit falling before anyone is baptized.
- John on Patmos, Revelation 1The page walks Revelation 1 as a story: what John saw, the Old Testament passages every feature of the vision comes from, the real history of Patmos exile, and what the chapter deliberately leaves out.
- Paul and Silas at Midnight — Acts 16This page walks Acts 16:16-40 in six parts: the story itself, six places the common retelling drifts from the text, the Roman law behind the beating, what the text leaves unanswered, where the night points to Christ, and how early commentators read the midnight song.
- Paul before Agrippa — Acts 26This page sets both honest readings of Agrippa's famous reply side by side without picking a winner, and lays out who was actually in the room: the last of the Herods, his sister Bernice, and a governor only days into the job.
- Paul's Last Imprisonment and Death
- Paul's Shipwreck — Acts 27–28This page runs the fourteen days as a ship's log, verse by verse, then covers the seamanship a nineteenth-century sailor checked against the real Mediterranean and answers the old objection about Malta's snakes.
- Peter Freed from Prison — Acts 12This page walks Acts 12 in six parts: the story itself, six places retellings drift from the text, the Roman guard and festival setting, what the chapter leaves unexplained, where the rescue points to Christ, and how the church has read it.
- Philip and the Ethiopian — Acts 8This page sets the law that excluded eunuchs from worship side by side with Isaiah's own promise to them, and shows both meeting in one scene on a desert road.
- Stephen, the First Martyr — Acts 6–7This page follows Stephen's story in six passes: what happened, where retellings drift from the text, the temple argument behind his sermon, what Scripture leaves unsaid, the Son of Man he saw standing, and what the church took from his death.
- The Antioch ConfrontationAt Antioch, Peter stopped eating with Gentile believers when men came from James, and Paul opposed him to his face, in public.
- The Damascus Road — Acts 9This page walks Acts 9's account of Saul's conversion in six beats, then lines up all three tellings of the same morning side by side, from Luke's narration to Paul's own retellings before a crowd and before a king.
