The formerG4413 treatiseG3056 have I made,G4160 O Theophilus,G2321 of allG3956 that JesusG2424 beganG756 bothG5037 to doG4160 and teach,G1321
2
UntilG891 the dayG2250 in whichG3739 he was takenG353 up, after that he throughG1223 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 had given commandmentsG1781 to the apostlesG652 whomG3739 he had chosen:G1586
3
To whomG3739 alsoG2532 he showedG3936 himselfG1438 aliveG2198 afterG3326 his passionG3958 by manyG4183 infallible proofs,G5039 being seenG3700 of them fortyG5062 days,G2250 and speakingG3004 of the things pertainingG4012 to the kingdomG932 of God:G2316
4
And, being assembledG4871 togetherG4817 with them, commandedG3853 them that they should not departG5562 from Jerusalem,G2414 but waitG4037 for the promiseG1860 of the Father,G3962 which,G3739 said he, you have heardG191 of me.
5
For JohnG2491 trulyG3303 baptizedG907 with water;G5204 but you shall be baptizedG907 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151 not manyG4183 daysG2250 hence.G3326 G5025
6
When they thereforeG3767 were comeG4905 together,G4905 they askedG1905 of him, saying,G3004 Lord,G2962 will you atG1722 thisG5129 timeG5550 restoreG600 againG600 the kingdomG932 to Israel?G2474
7
And he saidG2036 to them, It is not for you to knowG1097 the timesG5550 orG2228 the seasons,G2540 whichG3739 the FatherG3962 has putG5087 in his ownG2398 power.G1849
8
But you shall receiveG2983 power,G1411 after that the HolyG40 GhostG4151 is comeG1904 on you: and you shall be witnessesG3144 to me bothG5037 in Jerusalem,G2419 and in allG3956 Judaea,G2449 and in Samaria,G4540 and to the uttermostG2078 part of the earth.G1093
9
And when he had spokenG2036 theseG5023 things, while they beheld,G991 he was takenG1869 up; and a cloudG3507 receivedG5274 him out of their sight.G3788
10
And whileG5613 they lookedG816 steadfastlyG816 towardG1519 heavenG3772 as he wentG4198 up, behold,G2400 twoG1417 menG435 stoodG3936 by them in whiteG3022 apparel;G2066
11
WhichG3739 alsoG2532 said,G2036 You menG435 of Galilee,G1056 whyG5101 standG2476 you gazingG1689 up intoG1519 heaven?G3772 thisG3778 sameG3778 Jesus,G2424 whichG3588 is takenG353 up from you intoG1519 heaven,G3772 shall soG3779 comeG2064 in likeG3779 mannerG5158 as you have seenG2300 him goG4198 intoG1519 heaven.G3772
12
ThenG5119 returnedG5290 they to JerusalemG2419 from the mountG3735 calledG2564 Olivet,G1638 whichG3739 is from JerusalemG2419 a sabbathG4521 day's journey.G3598
13
And whenG3753 they were comeG1525 in, they wentG305 up intoG1519 an upperG5253 room,G5253 whereG3757 stayedG2650 bothG5037 Peter,G4074 and James,G2385 and John,G2491 and Andrew,G406 Philip,G5376 and Thomas,G2381 Bartholomew,G918 and Matthew,G3156 JamesG2385 the son of Alphaeus,G256 and SimonG4613 Zelotes,G2208 and JudasG2455 the brother of James.G2385
14
TheseG3778 allG3956 continuedG4342 with oneG3661 accordG3661 in prayerG4335 and supplication,G1162 with the women,G1135 and MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of Jesus,G2424 and with his brothers.G80
15
And in thoseG5025 daysG2250 PeterG4074 stoodG450 up in the middleG3319 of the disciples,G3101 and said,G2036 (the numberG3793 of namesG3686 togetherG1909 were aboutG5613 an hundredG1540 and twenty,G1501)
16
MenG435 and brothers,G80 thisG5026 scriptureG1124 mustG1163 needs have been fulfilled,G4137 whichG3739 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 by the mouthG4750 of DavidG1138 spokeG4277 beforeG4277 concerningG4012 Judas,G2455 whichG3588 was guideG3595 to them that tookG4815 Jesus.G2424
17
For he was numberedG2674 with us, and had obtainedG2975 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministry.G1248
18
NowG3767 thisG3778 man purchasedG2932 a fieldG5564 with the rewardG3408 of iniquity;G93 and fallingG4248 G1096 headlong,G4248 he burstG2997 asunderG2997 in the middle,G3319 and allG3956 his bowelsG4698 gushedG1632 out.
19
And it was knownG1110 to allG3956 the dwellersG2730 at Jerusalem;G2419 soG5620 as that fieldG5564 is calledG2564 in their properG2398 tongue,G1258 Aceldama,G184 that is to say, The fieldG5564 of blood.G129
20
For it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of Psalms,G5568 Let his habitationG1886 be desolate,G2048 and let noG3361 man dwellG2730 therein:G1722 G846 and his position as bishopG1984 let anotherG2087 take.G2983
21
WhyG3767 of theseG5130 men which have companiedG4905 with us allG3956 the timeG5550 that the LordG2962 JesusG2424 wentG1525 G1831 in and out amongG1909 us,
22
BeginningG756 from the baptismG908 of John,G2491 to that same dayG2250 that he was takenG353 up from us, mustG1163 oneG1520 be ordainedG1096 to be a witnessG3144 with us of his resurrection.G386
23
And they appointedG2476 two,G1417 JosephG2501 calledG2564 Barsabas,G923 whoG3739 was surnamedG1941 Justus,G2459 and Matthias.G3159
24
And they prayed,G4336 and said,G2036 You, Lord,G2962 which knowG2589 the heartsG2589 of allG3956 men, showG322 whetherG3739 G1520 of theseG5130 twoG1417 you have chosen,G1586
25
That he may takeG2983 partG2819 of thisG5026 ministryG1248 and apostleship,G651 from whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgressionG3845 fell, that he might goG4198 to his ownG2398 place.G5117
26
And they gaveG1325 forthG1614 their lots;G2819 and the lotG2819 fellG4098 on Matthias;G3159 and he was numberedG4785 with the elevenG1733 apostles.G652
