Acts Of The Students
Acts Of The Students
Once upon a time, there was a man who taught Japanese language in Troas twenty centuries ago. One of his students whose name was Luke wrote about this teacher in his diary which is now called “Acts of The Students.” One day, Luke wrote what he saw in the classroom in his notebook, “Our teacher was explaining Japanese grammar for over an hour. One of students, who was sitting on his chair wrongly, began to sink off into a sleep while the teacher talked longer. Overcome by sleep, he fell to the floor. It happened on September 20.” Today, we can read it in chapter 20 verse 9 in the diary. For the detail, please, google for “Acts 20:9.”
