< 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 2 until the day having given orders to the apostles through [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen He was taken up. 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. 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; 5 for John indeed baptized with water, you yourselves however with [the] Spirit will be baptized Holy not after many these days. 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? 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, 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. 9 And these things having said when are looking they He was taken up and a cloud hid Him from the eyes of them. 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) 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. 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from [the] mount which is being called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s holding 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. 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. 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 — 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; 17 for numbered he was (among *N+kO) us and was allotted the share of the ministry this. 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, 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. 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.’ 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, 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. 23 And they put forward two, Joseph who is being called Barsabbas who was called 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 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. 26 And they gave lots (to them *N+kO) and fell the lot on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
