Acts 1:4-26

41GatheringG4871 them togetherG4871, He commandedG3853 them 2not to leaveG5563 JerusalemG2414, but to waitG4037 for 34what the FatherG3962 had promisedG1860, “WhichG3739,” He said, “you heardG191 of from Me; 5for 5JohnG2491 baptizedG907 6with waterG5204, but you will be baptizedG907 7with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 89not manyG4183 daysG2250 from nowG3326G3778.”

6SoG3767, when they had comeG4905 togetherG4905, they began askingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “LordG2962, 10is it at thisG3778 timeG5550 that You are restoringG600 the kingdomG932 to IsraelG2474?” 7But He saidG3004 to them, “It is not for you to knowG1097 periodsG5550 ofG5550 timeG5550 orG2228 appointedG2540 timesG2540 whichG3739 11the FatherG3962 has setG5087 by His ownG2398 authorityG1849; 8but you will receiveG2983 powerG1411 12when the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 has comeG1904 upon you; and you shall be 13My witnessesG3144 bothG5037 in JerusalemG2419 and in allG3956 JudeaG2449, and 14SamariaG4540, and asG2193 farG2193 asG2193 15the remotestG2078 partG2078 of the earthG1093.” 9And after He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778, 16He was liftedG1869 upG1869 while they were watchingG991, and a cloudG3507 tookG5274 Him upG5274, out of their sightG3788. 10And as they were gazingG816 intentlyG816 into the skyG3772 while He was goingG4198, thenG2532 beholdG2400, 17twoG1417 menG435 in whiteG3022 clothingG2067 stoodG3936 besideG3936 them, 11and they saidG3004, “18MenG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 do you standG2476 lookingG991 into the skyG3772? ThisG3778 JesusG2424, who 19has been takenG353 upG353 from you into heavenG3772, will 20comeG2064 in the sameG5158 wayG5158 as you have watchedG2300 Him goG4198 into heavenG3772.”

12ThenG5119 they 21returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 from the 2223mountainG3735 calledG2564 24OlivetG1638, whichG3739 is nearG1451 JerusalemG2419, a 25SabbathG4521 day’s journeyG3598 away. 13WhenG3753 they had enteredG1525 the city, they wentG305 upG305 to 26the upstairsG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 they were stayingG2650, that is, 27PeterG4074, JohnG2491, 28JamesG2385, and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 and ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 and MatthewG3102, 29JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, SimonG4613 the ZealotG2208, and 30JudasG2455 the 31son of 32JamesG2385. 14AllG3956 theseG3778 33were continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 with oneG3661 34mindG3661 to prayerG4335, alongG4862 with 35the womenG1135, and MaryG3137 the 36motherG3384 of JesusG2424, and with His 37brothersG80.

1538At thisG3778 timeG2250 PeterG4074 stoodG450 upG450 amongG3319 39the brothersG80 and sisters (a groupG3793 of aboutG5613 120G1540G1501 40peopleG3686 was there togetherG1909G3588G846), and saidG3004, 16“41BrothersG435G80, 42the ScriptureG1124 hadG1163 to be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 foretoldG4275 by the mouthG4750 of DavidG1160 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, 43who becameG1096 a guideG3595 to thoseG3588 who arrestedG4815 JesusG2424. 17For he was 44countedG2674 amongG1722 us and receivedG2975 his shareG2819 in 45thisG3778 ministryG1248.” 18(NowG3767 thisG3778 manG3778 46acquiredG2932 a fieldG5564 with 47the priceG3408 of his wickednessG93, and fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burstG2979 openG2979 in the middleG3319 and allG3956 his intestinesG4698 gushedG1632 outG1632. 19And it becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 the residentsG2730 of JerusalemG2419; asG5620 aG5620 resultG5620 that fieldG5564 was calledG2564 HakeldamaG184 in 48their ownG2398 languageG1258, that is, FieldG5564 of BloodG129.) 20“For it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568: ‘49May his residenceG1886 be madeG1096 desolateG2048, And may there be noneG3361 livingG2730 in it’; and, ‘50May anotherG2087 takeG2983 his 51officeG1984.’ 21ThereforeG3767 it is necessaryG1163 that of the menG435 who have accompaniedG4905 us allG3956 the timeG5550 that 52the LordG2962 JesusG2424 wentG1525 inG1525 and outG1831 53amongG1909 us-- 2254beginningG757 55with the baptismG908 of JohnG2491 untilG2193 the dayG2250 that He 56was takenG353 upG353 from us--oneG1520 of theseG3778 must becomeG1096 a 57witnessG3144 with us of His resurrectionG386.” 23SoG2532 they putG2476 forwardG2476 twoG1417 menG1417, JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923 (whoG3739 was also calledG1941 JustusG2459), and 58MatthiasG3103. 24And they 59prayedG4336 and saidG3004, “You, LordG2962, who 60knowG2589 theG2589 heartsG2589 of allG3956 people, showG322 whichG3739 oneG1520 of theseG3778 twoG1417 You have chosenG1586 25to 61occupyG2983 62thisG3778 ministryG1248 and 63apostleshipG651 from whichG3739 JudasG2455 turnedG3845 asideG3845 to goG4198 to his ownG2398 placeG5117.” 26And they 6465drewG1325 lotsG2819 for them, and the lotG2819 fellG4098 66to 67MatthiasG3103; and he was addedG4785 to 68the elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
