Acts

Chapter 1

1 THE first book have I written, O Theoph'i- lus, concerning all the things which our Lord Jesus Christ began to do and teach

2 Until the day when he ascended after he, through the Holy Spirit, had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen;

3 The very ones to whom he had also shown himself alive, after he had suffered, with many wonders during the forty days, while appearing to them and talking with them concerning the kingdom of God:

4 And as he ate bread with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait for the promise of the Father, the one of whom you have heard from me.

5 For John baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

6 While they were assembled, they asked him, saying, Our LORD, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

7 He said to them, It is not for you to know the time or times, which the Father has put under his own authority.

8 But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you shall receive power and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea also in the province of Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

9 And when he had spoken these things, he ascended while they were looking at him; a cloud * received him and he was hidden from their sight.

10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white robes;

11 And they said to them, Men of Gal'i-lee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus who has ascended from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him ascend into heaven.

12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount which is called Ol'i-vet, home of Olives, which is near to Jerusalem, about a mile away.

13 And after they had entered into the city, they went up into an upper room, where stayed Peter and John and James and Andrew, and also Philip and Thomas, and Matthew and Bar-thol'o-mew and James the son of Al-phµ'us, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the son of James.

14 These all continued together in prayer with one accord, with the women, and Mary the Mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

15 And in those days Simon Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (there were there a number of men, about a hundred and twenty), and said,

16 Men and brethren, it was proper that the scripture should be fulfilled, that which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that seized Jesus.

17 For he was numbered with us and had a lot # in this ministry.

18 He is the one who earned for himself a field with the price of sin; and falling headlong, he burst open in the midst and all his bowels gushed out.

19 And this very thing is known to all who dwell in Jerusalem; so that the field is called in the language of the country, Kha'kal- De'ma which is to say Ko-ri-ath'dem, the field of blood.

20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no one dwell in it; and let his duty be taken by another man.

21 It is necessary, therefore, that one of these men, who have been with us during all the time that our LORD Jesus went in and out among us,

22 Beginning from the baptism of John until the day he ascended from among us, become a partner with us as a witness of his resurrection.

23 So they appointed two: Joseph called Bar'sa-bas who was surnamed Justus, and Mat-thi'as.

24 And as they prayed, they said, O LORD, you know what is in the hearts of all men; show which of these two you choose,

25 That he may receive the lot to the ministry and apostleship, from which Judas has been relieved to go his own way.

26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Mat-thi'as; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Chapter 1

1 The former4413 treatise3056 have I made,4160 O Theophilus,2321 of all3956 that Jesus2424 began756 both5037 to do4160 and teach,1321

2 Until891 the day2250 in which3739 he was taken353 up, after that he through1223 the Holy40 Ghost4151 had given commandments1781 to the apostles652 whom3739 he had chosen:1586

3 To whom3739 also2532 he showed3936 himself1438 alive2198 after3326 his passion3958 by many4183 infallible proofs,5039 being seen3700 of them forty5062 days,2250 and speaking3004 of the things pertaining4012 to the kingdom932 of God:2316

4 And, being assembled4871 together4817 with them, commanded3853 them that they should not depart5562 from Jerusalem,2414 but wait4037 for the promise1860 of the Father,3962 which,3739 said he, you have heard191 of me.

5 For John2491 truly3303 baptized907 with water;5204 but you shall be baptized907 with the Holy40 Ghost4151 not many4183 days2250 hence.3326 5025

6 When they therefore3767 were come4905 together,4905 they asked1905 of him, saying,3004 Lord,2962 will you at1722 this5129 time5550 restore600 again600 the kingdom932 to Israel?2474

7 And he said2036 to them, It is not for you to know1097 the times5550 or2228 the seasons,2540 which3739 the Father3962 has put5087 in his own2398 power.1849

8 But you shall receive2983 power,1411 after that the Holy40 Ghost4151 is come1904 on you: and you shall be witnesses3144 to me both5037 in Jerusalem,2419 and in all3956 Judaea,2449 and in Samaria,4540 and to the uttermost2078 part of the earth.1093

9 And when he had spoken2036 these5023 things, while they beheld,991 he was taken1869 up; and a cloud3507 received5274 him out of their sight.3788

10 And while5613 they looked816 steadfastly816 toward1519 heaven3772 as he went4198 up, behold,2400 two1417 men435 stood3936 by them in white3022 apparel;2066

11 Which3739 also2532 said,2036 You men435 of Galilee,1056 why5101 stand2476 you gazing1689 up into1519 heaven?3772 this3778 same3778 Jesus,2424 which3588 is taken353 up from you into1519 heaven,3772 shall so3779 come2064 in like3779 manner5158 as you have seen2300 him go4198 into1519 heaven.3772

12 Then5119 returned5290 they to Jerusalem2419 from the mount3735 called2564 Olivet,1638 which3739 is from Jerusalem2419 a sabbath4521 day's journey.3598

13 And when3753 they were come1525 in, they went305 up into1519 an upper5253 room,5253 where3757 stayed2650 both5037 Peter,4074 and James,2385 and John,2491 and Andrew,406 Philip,5376 and Thomas,2381 Bartholomew,918 and Matthew,3156 James2385 the son of Alphaeus,256 and Simon4613 Zelotes,2208 and Judas2455 the brother of James.2385

14 These3778 all3956 continued4342 with one3661 accord3661 in prayer4335 and supplication,1162 with the women,1135 and Mary3137 the mother3384 of Jesus,2424 and with his brothers.80

15 And in those5025 days2250 Peter4074 stood450 up in the middle3319 of the disciples,3101 and said,2036 (the number3793 of names3686 together1909 were about5613 an hundred1540 and twenty,1501)

16 Men435 and brothers,80 this5026 scripture1124 must1163 needs have been fulfilled,4137 which3739 the Holy40 Ghost4151 by the mouth4750 of David1138 spoke4277 before4277 concerning4012 Judas,2455 which3588 was guide3595 to them that took4815 Jesus.2424

17 For he was numbered2674 with us, and had obtained2975 part2819 of this5026 ministry.1248

18 Now3767 this3778 man purchased2932 a field5564 with the reward3408 of iniquity;93 and falling4248 1096 headlong,4248 he burst2997 asunder2997 in the middle,3319 and all3956 his bowels4698 gushed1632 out.

19 And it was known1110 to all3956 the dwellers2730 at Jerusalem;2419 so5620 as that field5564 is called2564 in their proper2398 tongue,1258 Aceldama,184 that is to say, The field5564 of blood.129

20 For it is written1125 in the book976 of Psalms,5568 Let his habitation1886 be desolate,2048 and let no3361 man dwell2730 therein:1722 846 and his position as bishop1984 let another2087 take.2983

21 Why3767 of these5130 men which have companied4905 with us all3956 the time5550 that the Lord2962 Jesus2424 went1525 1831 in and out among1909 us,

22 Beginning756 from the baptism908 of John,2491 to that same day2250 that he was taken353 up from us, must1163 one1520 be ordained1096 to be a witness3144 with us of his resurrection.386

23 And they appointed2476 two,1417 Joseph2501 called2564 Barsabas,923 who3739 was surnamed1941 Justus,2459 and Matthias.3159

24 And they prayed,4336 and said,2036 You, Lord,2962 which know2589 the hearts2589 of all3956 men, show322 whether3739 1520 of these5130 two1417 you have chosen,1586

25 That he may take2983 part2819 of this5026 ministry1248 and apostleship,651 from which3739 Judas2455 by transgression3845 fell, that he might go4198 to his own2398 place.5117

26 And they gave1325 forth1614 their lots;2819 and the lot2819 fell4098 on Matthias;3159 and he was numbered4785 with the eleven1733 apostles.652

1 The former4413 treatise3056 have I made,4160 O Theophilus,2321 of all3956 that Jesus2424 began756 both5037 to do4160 and teach,1321

2 Until the day when he ascended after he, through the Holy Spirit, had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen;

2 Until891 the day2250 in which3739 he was taken353 up, after that he through1223 the Holy40 Ghost4151 had given commandments1781 to the apostles652 whom3739 he had chosen:1586

3 The very ones to whom he had also shown himself alive, after he had suffered, with many wonders during the forty days, while appearing to them and talking with them concerning the kingdom of God:

3 To whom3739 also2532 he showed3936 himself1438 alive2198 after3326 his passion3958 by many4183 infallible proofs,5039 being seen3700 of them forty5062 days,2250 and speaking3004 of the things pertaining4012 to the kingdom932 of God:2316

4 And as he ate bread with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait for the promise of the Father, the one of whom you have heard from me.

4 And, being assembled4871 together4817 with them, commanded3853 them that they should not depart5562 from Jerusalem,2414 but wait4037 for the promise1860 of the Father,3962 which,3739 said he, you have heard191 of me.

5 For John baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

5 For John2491 truly3303 baptized907 with water;5204 but you shall be baptized907 with the Holy40 Ghost4151 not many4183 days2250 hence.3326 5025

6 While they were assembled, they asked him, saying, Our LORD, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

6 When they therefore3767 were come4905 together,4905 they asked1905 of him, saying,3004 Lord,2962 will you at1722 this5129 time5550 restore600 again600 the kingdom932 to Israel?2474

7 He said to them, It is not for you to know the time or times, which the Father has put under his own authority.

7 And he said2036 to them, It is not for you to know1097 the times5550 or2228 the seasons,2540 which3739 the Father3962 has put5087 in his own2398 power.1849

8 But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you shall receive power and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea also in the province of Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

8 But you shall receive2983 power,1411 after that the Holy40 Ghost4151 is come1904 on you: and you shall be witnesses3144 to me both5037 in Jerusalem,2419 and in all3956 Judaea,2449 and in Samaria,4540 and to the uttermost2078 part of the earth.1093

9 And when he had spoken these things, he ascended while they were looking at him; a cloud * received him and he was hidden from their sight.

9 And when he had spoken2036 these5023 things, while they beheld,991 he was taken1869 up; and a cloud3507 received5274 him out of their sight.3788

10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold two men stood by them in white robes;

10 And while5613 they looked816 steadfastly816 toward1519 heaven3772 as he went4198 up, behold,2400 two1417 men435 stood3936 by them in white3022 apparel;2066

11 And they said to them, Men of Gal'i-lee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus who has ascended from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him ascend into heaven.

11 Which3739 also2532 said,2036 You men435 of Galilee,1056 why5101 stand2476 you gazing1689 up into1519 heaven?3772 this3778 same3778 Jesus,2424 which3588 is taken353 up from you into1519 heaven,3772 shall so3779 come2064 in like3779 manner5158 as you have seen2300 him go4198 into1519 heaven.3772

12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount which is called Ol'i-vet, home of Olives, which is near to Jerusalem, about a mile away.

12 Then5119 returned5290 they to Jerusalem2419 from the mount3735 called2564 Olivet,1638 which3739 is from Jerusalem2419 a sabbath4521 day's journey.3598

13 And after they had entered into the city, they went up into an upper room, where stayed Peter and John and James and Andrew, and also Philip and Thomas, and Matthew and Bar-thol'o-mew and James the son of Al-phµ'us, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the son of James.

13 And when3753 they were come1525 in, they went305 up into1519 an upper5253 room,5253 where3757 stayed2650 both5037 Peter,4074 and James,2385 and John,2491 and Andrew,406 Philip,5376 and Thomas,2381 Bartholomew,918 and Matthew,3156 James2385 the son of Alphaeus,256 and Simon4613 Zelotes,2208 and Judas2455 the brother of James.2385

14 These all continued together in prayer with one accord, with the women, and Mary the Mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

14 These3778 all3956 continued4342 with one3661 accord3661 in prayer4335 and supplication,1162 with the women,1135 and Mary3137 the mother3384 of Jesus,2424 and with his brothers.80

15 And in those days Simon Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (there were there a number of men, about a hundred and twenty), and said,

15 And in those5025 days2250 Peter4074 stood450 up in the middle3319 of the disciples,3101 and said,2036 (the number3793 of names3686 together1909 were about5613 an hundred1540 and twenty,1501)

16 Men and brethren, it was proper that the scripture should be fulfilled, that which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that seized Jesus.

16 Men435 and brothers,80 this5026 scripture1124 must1163 needs have been fulfilled,4137 which3739 the Holy40 Ghost4151 by the mouth4750 of David1138 spoke4277 before4277 concerning4012 Judas,2455 which3588 was guide3595 to them that took4815 Jesus.2424

17 For he was numbered with us and had a lot # in this ministry.

17 For he was numbered2674 with us, and had obtained2975 part2819 of this5026 ministry.1248

18 He is the one who earned for himself a field with the price of sin; and falling headlong, he burst open in the midst and all his bowels gushed out.

18 Now3767 this3778 man purchased2932 a field5564 with the reward3408 of iniquity;93 and falling4248 1096 headlong,4248 he burst2997 asunder2997 in the middle,3319 and all3956 his bowels4698 gushed1632 out.

19 And this very thing is known to all who dwell in Jerusalem; so that the field is called in the language of the country, Kha'kal- De'ma which is to say Ko-ri-ath'dem, the field of blood.

19 And it was known1110 to all3956 the dwellers2730 at Jerusalem;2419 so5620 as that field5564 is called2564 in their proper2398 tongue,1258 Aceldama,184 that is to say, The field5564 of blood.129

20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no one dwell in it; and let his duty be taken by another man.

20 For it is written1125 in the book976 of Psalms,5568 Let his habitation1886 be desolate,2048 and let no3361 man dwell2730 therein:1722 846 and his position as bishop1984 let another2087 take.2983

21 It is necessary, therefore, that one of these men, who have been with us during all the time that our LORD Jesus went in and out among us,

21 Why3767 of these5130 men which have companied4905 with us all3956 the time5550 that the Lord2962 Jesus2424 went1525 1831 in and out among1909 us,

22 Beginning from the baptism of John until the day he ascended from among us, become a partner with us as a witness of his resurrection.

22 Beginning756 from the baptism908 of John,2491 to that same day2250 that he was taken353 up from us, must1163 one1520 be ordained1096 to be a witness3144 with us of his resurrection.386

23 So they appointed two: Joseph called Bar'sa-bas who was surnamed Justus, and Mat-thi'as.

23 And they appointed2476 two,1417 Joseph2501 called2564 Barsabas,923 who3739 was surnamed1941 Justus,2459 and Matthias.3159

24 And as they prayed, they said, O LORD, you know what is in the hearts of all men; show which of these two you choose,

24 And they prayed,4336 and said,2036 You, Lord,2962 which know2589 the hearts2589 of all3956 men, show322 whether3739 1520 of these5130 two1417 you have chosen,1586

25 That he may receive the lot to the ministry and apostleship, from which Judas has been relieved to go his own way.

25 That he may take2983 part2819 of this5026 ministry1248 and apostleship,651 from which3739 Judas2455 by transgression3845 fell, that he might go4198 to his own2398 place.5117

26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Mat-thi'as; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

26 And they gave1325 forth1614 their lots;2819 and the lot2819 fell4098 on Matthias;3159 and he was numbered4785 with the eleven1733 apostles.652
