Acts 1:6-20

6SoG3767 when they had comeG4905 togetherG4905, they were askingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “LordG2962, 1is it at thisG3778 timeG5550 You are restoringG600 the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?” 7He saidG3004 to them, “It is not for you to knowG1097 timesG5550 orG2228 epochsG2540 whichG3739 2the FatherG3962 has fixedG5087 by His ownG2398 authorityG1849; 8but you will receiveG2983 powerG1411 3when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has comeG1904 upon you; and you shall be 4My witnessesG3144 bothG5037 in JerusalemG2419, and in allG3956 JudeaG2453 and 5SamariaG4540, and evenG2193 to 6the remotestG2078 partG2078 of the earthG1093.” 9And after He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 7He was liftedG1869 up while they were lookingG991 on, and a cloudG3507 receivedG5274 Him out of their sightG3788. 10And as they were gazingG816 intentlyG816 into 8the skyG3772 while He was goingG4198, beholdG2400, 9twoG1417 menG435 in whiteG3022 clothingG2067 stoodG3936 besideG3936 them. 11They alsoG2532 saidG3004, “10MenG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 do you standG2476 lookingG991 into 11the skyG3772? ThisG3778 JesusG2424, who 12has been takenG353 up from you into heavenG3772, will 13comeG2064 in justG3779 the sameG5158 wayG5158 as you have watchedG2300 Him goG4198 into heavenG3772.”

12ThenG5119 they 14returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 from the 1516mountG3735 calledG2564 17OlivetG1638, whichG3739 is nearG1451 JerusalemG2419, a 18SabbathG4521 day’s journeyG3598 away. 13WhenG3753 they had enteredG1525 the city, they wentG305 up to 19the upperG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 they were stayingG2650; 20that is, PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 and 21JamesG2385 and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 and ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 and MatthewG3102, 22JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, and SimonG4613 the ZealotG2208, and 23JudasG2455 the 24son of 25JamesG2385. 14TheseG3778 allG3956 with oneG3661 mindG3661 26were continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 to prayerG4335, alongG4862 with 27the womenG1135, and MaryG3137 the 28motherG3384 of JesusG2424, and with His 29brothersG80.

1530At thisG3778 timeG2250 PeterG4074 stoodG450 up in the midstG3319 of 31the brethrenG80 (a gatheringG3793 of aboutG5616 oneG1540 hundredG1540 and twentyG1501 32personsG3686 was there togetherG1909G3588G846), and saidG3004, 16“BrethrenG435G80, 33the ScriptureG1124 hadG1163 to be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 foretoldG4275 by the mouthG4750 of DavidG1160 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, 34who becameG1096 a guideG3595 to thoseG3588 who arrestedG4815 JesusG2424. 17For he was 35countedG2674 amongG1722 us and receivedG2975 his shareG2819 in 36thisG3778 ministryG1248.” 18(NowG3767 thisG3778 manG3778 37acquiredG2932 a fieldG5564 with 38the priceG3408 of his wickednessG93, and fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burstG2997 openG2997 in the middleG3319 and allG3956 his intestinesG4698 gushedG1632 out. 19And it becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 who were livingG2730 in JerusalemG2419; soG5620 that in 39their ownG2398 languageG1258 that fieldG5564 was calledG2564 HakeldamaG184, that is, FieldG5564 of BloodG129.) 20“For it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, ‘40Let his homesteadG1886 be madeG1096 desolateG2048, And let noG3361 oneG3361 dwellG2730 in it’; and, ‘41Let anotherG2087 manG2087 takeG2983 his 42officeG1984.’
