The acts of Christ apostles refers to the Biblical book Acts of the Apostles. The words of Christ, cited above, are in Luke 19:13; the speaker's response to that is consistent with 1 Corinthians 15:58. The six Christians named are mentioned either in Acts or in the Paul's letter. A scholar, whom I cannot now cite (as the text has long been out of my hands), but believe to be Bruce Metzger, described Luke's writing style as sunlit; hence, in allusion to that, I have called it sparkling.
