Acts 1
1 The indeed first account I composed concerning all the things, O Theophilus, of which began Jesus to do both and to teach
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 until the day having given orders to the apostles through [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen He was taken up.
Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 to those also He presented Himself alive after the suffering of Him with many proofs, during days forty appearing to them and speaking the [things] concerning the kingdom of God.
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And being assembled together He instructed to them from Jerusalem not to depart, but to await the promise of the Father That which you heard of Me;
And, being assembled together with [them], commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he], ye have heard of me.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, you yourselves however with [the] Spirit will be baptized Holy not after many these days.
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 Those indeed therefore having come together (were asking *N+kO) Him saying; Lord, if at time this are you restoring the kingdom to Israel?
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 He said then to them; Not yours it is to know times or seasons which the Father put in place by His own authority,
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But you will receive power when was coming the Holy Spirit upon you and you will be (My *N+KO) witnesses in both Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and until [the] uttermost part of the earth.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 And these things having said when are looking they He was taken up and a cloud hid Him from the eyes of them.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And as looking intently they were into the heaven as is going He, then behold men two had stood by them in (garments white, *N+kO)
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 who also said; Men Galileans, why have you stood (looking *NK+o) into heaven? This Jesus who having been taken up from you into heaven thus will come in that manner you beheld Him going into heaven.
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from [the] mount which is being called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s holding journey.
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
13 And when they had entered into the upper room they went up where they were staying, both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas [son] of James.
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas [the brother] of James.
14 These all were steadfastly continuing with one accord in prayer (and in supplication *K) with the [the] women and Mary with the mother of Jesus and (with *ko) the brothers of Him.
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 And in days these having stood up Peter in [the] midst of the (brothers *N+KO) he said — was then [the] number of names together the same (about *N+kO) a hundred twenty —
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
16 Men brothers, it was necessary for to have been fulfilled Scripture (this *k) which (foretold *NK+o) the Spirit Holy through [the] mouth of David concerning Judas the [one] having become guide to those having arrested Jesus;
Men [and] brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 for numbered he was (among *N+kO) us and was allotted the share of the ministry this.
For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 This [man] indeed then acquired a field out of (the *k) reward of unrighteousness, and headlong having fallen he burst open in [the] middle and gushed out all the intestines of him,
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 And known it became to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that to call the field that [one] in [their] own language of them Akeldama That is Field of Blood.
And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 It has been written for in [the] book of Psalms: should become the homestead of him desolate and not should there be [one] who is dwelling in it,’ and The position of him (take *N+kO) another.’
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
21 It behooves therefore of those [who] were accompanying us men during all [the] time (in *k) that he came in and he went out among us the Lord Jesus,
Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 having begun from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, a witness of the resurrection of Him with us to become one of these.
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 And they put forward two, Joseph who is being called Barsabbas who was called Justus and Matthias.
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And having prayed they said; You yourself Lord knower of the hearts of all, do show whom You have chosen of these two one
And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all [men], shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 to take the (place *N+kO) of the ministry this and apostleship (from *N+kO) which turned aside Judas to go to the place [his] own.
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 And they gave lots (to them *N+kO) and fell the lot on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
