Luke starts out talking about how he interviewed\nvarious people to get the whole story straight and, like the other\nGospels, all of Luke and most of Acts is in the third-person, but then all\nthe sudden in Acts 16:11, where Luke has been telling about Paul's\ntravels, out of nowhere it says \"We set sail from Troas\" (It would be\nsomewhere in the fourth book if you broke Luke/Acts up into four books).\nActs continues to use 'we' for a few chapters without explanation, and\nthen goes back to third person to finish Paul's story.\n\n-Rostrum"
