11and they saidG3004, “1MenG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 do you standG2476 lookingG991 into the skyG3772? ThisG3778 JesusG2424, who 2has been takenG353 upG353 from you into heavenG3772, will 3comeG2064 in the sameG5158 wayG5158 as you have watchedG2300 Him goG4198 into heavenG3772.”

12ThenG5119 they 4returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 from the 56mountainG3735 calledG2564 7OlivetG1638, whichG3739 is nearG1451 JerusalemG2419, a 8SabbathG4521 day’s journeyG3598 away. 13WhenG3753 they had enteredG1525 the city, they wentG305 upG305 to 9the upstairsG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 they were stayingG2650, that is, 10PeterG4074, JohnG2491, 11JamesG2385, and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 and ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 and MatthewG3102, 12JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, SimonG4613 the ZealotG2208, and 13JudasG2455 the 14son of 15JamesG2385. 14AllG3956 theseG3778 16were continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 with oneG3661 17mindG3661 to prayerG4335, alongG4862 with 18the womenG1135, and MaryG3137 the 19motherG3384 of JesusG2424, and with His 20brothersG80.

1521At thisG3778 timeG2250 PeterG4074 stoodG450 upG450 amongG3319 22the brothersG80 and sisters (a groupG3793 of aboutG5613 120G1540G1501 23peopleG3686 was there togetherG1909G3588G846), and saidG3004, 16“24BrothersG435G80, 25the ScriptureG1124 hadG1163 to be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 foretoldG4275 by the mouthG4750 of DavidG1160 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, 26who becameG1096 a guideG3595 to thoseG3588 who arrestedG4815 JesusG2424. 17For he was 27countedG2674 amongG1722 us and receivedG2975 his shareG2819 in 28thisG3778 ministryG1248.” 18(NowG3767 thisG3778 manG3778 29acquiredG2932 a fieldG5564 with 30the priceG3408 of his wickednessG93, and fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burstG2979 openG2979 in the middleG3319 and allG3956 his intestinesG4698 gushedG1632 outG1632.
