Acts Chapter 1

1The former treatise I madeG4160, O TheophilusG2321, concerningG4012 all that JesusG2424 beganG757 both to do and to teachG1321, 2until the dayG2250 in which he was received up, after that he had givenG1781 commandment through the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 unto the apostlesG652 whom he had chosen: 3to whom he alsoG2532 showed himself aliveG2198 after his passion by manyG4183 proofs, appearingG3700 unto them by the space of fortyG5062 daysG2250, and speakingG3004 the thingsG4183 concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: 4and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from JerusalemG2414, but to wait for the promiseG1860 of the FatherG3962, which, said he, ye heardG191 from me: 5for JohnG2491 indeedG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; but ye shall be baptizedG907 in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 not manyG4183 daysG2250 hence.

6They thereforeG3767, when they were comeG4905 togetherG4905, askedG2065 him, sayingG3004, LordG2962, dost thou at this timeG5550 restore the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474? 7And he saidG3004 unto them, It isG1510 not for you to knowG1097 timesG2540 or seasonsG2540, which the FatherG3962 hath setG5087 within his ownG2398 authorityG1849. 8But ye shall receiveG2983 powerG1411, when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 isG1510 come upon you: and ye shall beG1510 my witnessesG3144 both in JerusalemG2419, and in all Judæa and SamariaG4540, and unto the uttermost part of the earthG1093. 9And when he had saidG3004 these thingsG3778, as they were lookingG991, he was taken up; and a cloudG3507 received him out of their sight. 10And while they wereG1510 lookingG816 stedfastly into heavenG3772 as he wentG4198, beholdG2400 twoG1417 menG435 stoodG3936 by them in whiteG3022 apparelG2066; 11who alsoG2532 saidG3004, Ye menG435 of Galilee, whyG5101 standG2476 ye lookingG991 into heavenG3772? this JesusG2424, who was received up from you into heavenG3772, shall so comeG2064 in like mannerG3779 as ye beheld him goingG4198 into heavenG3772.

12ThenG5119 returnedG5290 they unto JerusalemG2419 from the mountG3735 calledG2564 OlivetG1638, which isG1510 nigh unto JerusalemG2419, a sabbathG4521 day’s journeyG3598 off. 13And whenG3753 they wereG1510 comeG1525 in, they wentG305 up into the upperG5253 chamber, whereG3757 they wereG1510 abiding; both PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 and JamesG2385 and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 and ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 and MatthewG3156, JamesG2385 the son of Alphæus, and SimonG4613 the Zealot, and JudasG2455 the son of JamesG2385. 14These all with oneG3661 accordG3661 continuedG4342 stedfastly in prayerG4335, with the womenG1135, and MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JesusG2424, and with his brethren.

15And in these daysG2250 PeterG4074 stoodG450 up in the midstG3319 of the brethren, and saidG3004 (and there wasG1510 a multitudeG3793 of persons gathered together, about a hundredG1540 and twentyG1501), 16Brethren, it was needful that the scriptureG1124 should be fulfilled, which the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 spake before by the mouthG4750 of DavidG1138 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, who was guideG3595 to them that took JesusG2424. 17For he wasG1510 numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministryG1248. 18(Now this manG3778 obtained a fieldG5564 with the rewardG3408 of his iniquityG93; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midstG3319, and all his bowels gushed out. 19And it becameG1096 known to all the dwellers at JerusalemG2419; insomuch that in their languageG1258 that fieldG5564 wasG1510 calledG2564 Akeldama, that isG1510, The fieldG5564 of bloodG129.) 20For it isG1510 writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568,

and,

21Of the menG435 thereforeG3767 that have companied with us all the timeG5550 that the LordG2962 JesusG2424 wentG1831 in and wentG1831 out among us, 22beginningG757 from the baptismG908 of JohnG2491, unto the dayG2250 that he was received up from us, of these must oneG1520 becomeG1096 a witnessG3144 with us of his resurrectionG386. 23And they put forward twoG1417, JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923, who was surnamed JustusG2459, and MatthiasG3159. 24And they prayedG4336, and saidG3004, Thou, LordG2962, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these twoG1417 the oneG1520 whom thou hast chosen, 25to takeG2983 the placeG5117 in this ministryG1248 and apostleshipG651 from which JudasG2455 fell awayG4198, that he might goG4198 to his ownG2398 placeG5117. 26And they gaveG1325 lotsG2819 for them; and the lotG2819 fellG4098 upon MatthiasG3159; and he was numbered with the elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
