323. Acts 11:19-ch12
Undesigned coincidence #14: Luke’s census (Lk. 2:1-21). Two problems: 1) No record Caesar Augustus taxed whole Roman empire. 2) Quirinius was governor in 6 a.d., not 6 b.c.. Answer: “all the world” is Judea (same idea in Acts 11:28…Greek word means “the region in interest”…there is no word “Roman” in the Greek). The taxation is a registration or enrollment, not an actual taxation. “This was made” means “set in motion”. Read this way: “This first tax was put in use a dozen years later.” Also possible Quirinius had two stints as a governor.
Cheney: “There is no discrepancy here but rather an informative point of history. Luke does not say the ‘taxing’ was collected at this time, but rather that people were registered. See App. III.”

324. Acts 12-21:16
Undesigned coincidence #10: Matthew 14:1-2 Why is Herod speaking about this to his servants? Luke 8:3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager/steward. Herod knows that if he’s got questions about Jesus, talk to his Christian servants. Acts 13:1 Manaen had been brought up with Herod the Tetrarch.
