		<description>You&#039;re quite right, WL; much too hasty. I&#039;m satisfied with alternative explanations in several other cases too.</description>

		<description>You may have some cases in mind that you haven&#039;t considered here, Errancy. But, if we are just looking at the cases you&#039;ve brought forward so far, your concern about all reported speech in Acts strikes me as hasty.

In his one speech in Scripture, Stephen made a few flubs about some incidentals in the lives of Abraham and Jacob. Clearly Stephen did not know this cluster of facts thoroughly.

Apart from that, you&#039;ve mentioned two of Paul&#039;s reports about his conversion where Paul&#039;s misspeaking is a &lt;em&gt;possibility&lt;/em&gt;. But in those cases, there are other plausible explanations for the alleged error.

Even without assuming that the Apostles received divine guidance that render the NT inerrant, I tend to prefer an account that does not assume that Paul misspoke in those two cases. He&#039;s recounting an event that occurred in his own life. Indeed, he&#039;s recounting the pivotal event in his life. He is not relating some piece of trivia about events 1200 years in the past. It&#039;s unlikely he got those details wrong.

Were there other examples of reported speech that contain errors that we are missing?</description>

		<description>To be honest, I&#039;m starting to worry about most of the reported speech in Acts. It seems that there&#039;s usually some detail that&#039;s problematic.</description>

		<description>Stephen may actually be right this time though, if he was referring to where Joseph, not Jacob, was buried. But given his past record...</description>
