According to many scholars the extant text of the “Didache” has two different titles, and it is debated which title is the original one. But this is not in accordance with manuscript H 54, the only witness of the text of the Didache, and most modern editions misrepresent the beginning of the Didache in H 54. In this article it is argued that, just as it is in H 54, the so-called long title is the introduction to the “Teaching of the Two Ways”. Together with 6,1–3 this introduction frames the traditional Jewish teaching which functions as Christian Baptism catechism for non-Jewish neophytes. They are encouraged, but not obliged to fulfil the Jewish law. It is only obligatory to abstain from food sacrificed to idols.
Der Vergleich der beiden Seereisen in Apg 18.18–22a und 20–21 ergibt, daß der Verfasser der Apg in Apg 20–21 eine Quelle verwertet, und zwar den ersten Teil eines Rechenschaftsberichts, den ein Mitglied der in 20.4 genannten Kollektendelegation nach der Rückkehr aus Jerusalem angefertigt hat. Diese Quelle war von vornherein im ‘Wir’-Stil verfaßt. Dagegen gehen die Reiseroute und das ‘Wir’ von Apg 16.10–17; 17.1 (Übergang nach Europa; Beginn der Mission in Philippi) auf Lukas selbst zurück, der so einen gemeinsamen Rahmen für die selbständige Mission des Paulus (Apg 16–19) bildet. Lukas betont dabei besonders die Lenkung des Geschehens durch den Geist.
