Acts 1
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus o Theophile quae coepit Iesus facere et docere
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
usque in diem qua praecipiens apostolis per Spiritum Sanctum quos elegit adsumptus est
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
quibus et praebuit se ipsum vivum post passionem suam in multis argumentis per dies quadraginta apparens eis et loquens de regno Dei
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
et convescens praecepit eis ab Hierosolymis ne discederent sed expectarent promissionem Patris quam audistis per os meum
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
quia Iohannes quidem baptizavit aqua vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
igitur qui convenerant interrogabant eum dicentes Domine si in tempore hoc restitues regnum Israhel
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
dixit autem eis non est vestrum nosse tempora vel momenta quae Pater posuit in sua potestate
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
sed accipietis virtutem supervenientis Spiritus Sancti in vos et eritis mihi testes in Hierusalem et in omni Iudaea et Samaria et usque ad ultimum terrae
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
et cum haec dixisset videntibus illis elevatus est et nubes suscepit eum ab oculis eorum
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
cumque intuerentur in caelum eunte illo ecce duo viri adstiterunt iuxta illos in vestibus albis
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
qui et dixerunt viri galilaei quid statis aspicientes in caelum hic Iesus qui adsumptus est a vobis in caelum sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in caelum
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
tunc reversi sunt Hierosolymam a monte qui vocatur Oliveti qui est iuxta Hierusalem sabbati habens iter
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
et cum introissent in cenaculum ascenderunt ubi manebant Petrus et Iohannes Iacobus et Andreas Philippus et Thomas Bartholomeus et Mattheus Iacobus Alphei et Simon Zelotes et Iudas Iacobi
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
hii omnes erant perseverantes unianimiter in oratione cum mulieribus et Maria matre Iesu et fratribus eius
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
et in diebus illis exsurgens Petrus in medio fratrum dixit erat autem turba nominum simul fere centum viginti
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
viri fratres oportet impleri scripturam quam praedixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Iuda qui fuit dux eorum qui conprehenderunt Iesum
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
quia connumeratus erat in nobis et sortitus est sortem ministerii huius
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis et suspensus crepuit medius et diffusa sunt omnia viscera eius
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Hierusalem ita ut appellaretur ager ille lingua eorum Acheldemach hoc est ager Sanguinis
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
scriptum est enim in libro Psalmorum fiat commoratio eius deserta et non sit qui inhabitet in ea et episcopatum eius accipiat alius
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
oportet ergo ex his viris qui nobiscum congregati sunt in omni tempore quo intravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Iesus
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
incipiens a baptismate Iohannis usque in diem qua adsumptus est a nobis testem resurrectionis eius nobiscum fieri unum ex istis
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
et statuerunt duos Ioseph qui vocabatur Barsabban qui cognominatus est Iustus et Matthiam
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
et orantes dixerunt tu Domine qui corda nosti omnium ostende quem elegeris ex his duobus unum
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
accipere locum ministerii huius et apostolatus de quo praevaricatus est Iudas ut abiret in locum suum
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
et dederunt sortes eis et cecidit sors super Matthiam et adnumeratus est cum undecim apostolis
