Acts Chapter 1

1I composed the firstG4413 discourse, O TheophilusG2321, concerningG4012 all thingsG3956 which JesusG2424 beganG757 both to do and to teachG1321, 2until that dayG2250 in which, having by the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 charged the apostlesG652 whom he had chosen, he was takenG353 up; 3to whom alsoG2532 he presentedG3936 himself livingG2198, after he had sufferedG3958, with manyG4183 proofs; being seen by them during fortyG5062 daysG2250, and speakingG3004 of the thingsG4183 which concern the kingdomG932 of 1GodG2316; 4and, being assembled with [them], commandedG3853 them not to depart from JerusalemG2414, but to await the promiseG1860 of the FatherG3962, which [said he] ye have heardG191 of me. 5For JohnG2491 indeedG3303 baptised with waterG5204, but ye shall be baptised with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 after nowG1161 not manyG4183 daysG2250. 6They thereforeG3767, being comeG4905 togetherG4905, askedG2065 him sayingG3004, LordG2962, is it at this timeG5550 that thou restorest the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474? 7And he saidG3004 to them, It isG1510 not yours to knowG1097 timesG2540 or seasonsG2540, which the FatherG3962 has placedG5087 in his ownG2398 authorityG1849; 8but ye will receiveG2983 powerG1411, the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 having come upon you, and ye shall beG1510 my witnessesG3144 both in JerusalemG2419, and in all Judaea and SamariaG4540, and to the end of the earthG1093. 9And having saidG3004 these thingsG3778 he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloudG3507 received him out of their sight. 10And as they wereG1510 gazing into heavenG3772, as he wasG1510 goingG4198, beholdG2400, alsoG2532 twoG1417 menG435 stoodG3936 by them in whiteG3022 clothing, 11who alsoG2532 saidG3004, MenG435 of Galilee, whyG5101 do ye standG2476 lookingG991 into heavenG3772? This JesusG2424 who has been takenG353 up from you into heavenG3772, shall thusG3779 comeG2064 in the mannerG3779 in which ye have beheld him goingG4198 into heavenG3772. 12ThenG5119 they returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 from the mountG3735 calledG2564 [the mountG3735] of Olives, which isG1510 near JerusalemG2419, a sabbath-day's journeyG3598 off. 13And whenG3753 they wereG1510 comeG1525 into [the city], they wentG305 up to the upperG5253 chamber, whereG3757 wereG1510 staying both PeterG4074, and JohnG2491, and JamesG2385, and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 and ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 and MatthewG3156, JamesG2385 [son] of Alphaeus, and SimonG4613 the zealot, and Jude [the brother] of JamesG2385. 14These gave themselves all with oneG3661 accordG3661 to continual prayerG4335, with [several] womenG1135, and MaryG3137 the motherG3384 of JesusG2424, and with his brethren. 15And in those daysG2250 PeterG4074, standing up in the midstG3319 of the brethren, saidG3004, (the crowdG3793 of namesG3686 [who wereG1510] together [wasG1510] about a hundredG1540 and twentyG1501,) 16Brethren, it was necessaryG1163 that the scriptureG1124 should have been fulfilled, which the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 spoke before, by the mouthG4750 of DavidG1138, concerningG4012 JudasG2455, who becameG1096 guideG3595 to those who took JesusG2424; 17for he wasG1510 numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this serviceG1248. 18(This [manG3778] then indeed got a fieldG5564 with [the] rewardG3408 of iniquityG93, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midstG3319, and all his bowels gushed out. 19And it wasG1510 known to all the inhabitants of JerusalemG2419, so that that fieldG5564 wasG1510 calledG2564 in their ownG2398 dialect Aceldama; that isG1510, fieldG5564 of bloodG129.) 20For it isG1510 writtenG1125 in [the] bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, Let his homestead becomeG1096 desolateG2048, and let there beG1510 no dweller in it; and, Let another takeG2983 his overseership. 21It is necessaryG1163 thereforeG3767, that of the menG435 who have assembled with us all [the] timeG5550 in which the LordG2962 JesusG2424 cameG1831 in and wentG1831 out among us, 22beginningG757 from the baptismG908 of JohnG2491 until the dayG2250 in which he was taken up from us, oneG1520 of these should be a witnessG3144 with us of his resurrectionG386. 23And they appointed twoG1417, JosephG2501, who was calledG2564 Barsabas, who had been surnamed JustusG2459, and MatthiasG3159. 24And they prayedG4336, and saidG3004, Thou LordG2962, knower of the hearts of all, shew which oneG1520 of these twoG1417 thou hast chosen, 25to receiveG2983 the lot of this serviceG1248 and apostleshipG651, from which JudasG2455 transgressing fell to goG4198 to his ownG2398 placeG5117. 26And they gaveG1325 lotsG2819 on them, and the lotG2819 fellG4098 on MatthiasG3159, and he was numbered with the elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
