1The formerG4413 treatiseG3056 have I madeG4160, OG5599 TheophilusG2321, ofG4012 allG3956 thatG3739 JesusG3588G2424 beganG756 bothG5037 to doG4160 andG2532 teachG1321, 2UntilG891 the dayG2250 in whichG3739 he was taken upG353, after that heG1781 throughG1223 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151 had given commandmentsG1781 unto the apostlesG3588G652 whomG3739 he had chosenG1586: 3To whomG3739 alsoG2532 he shewedG3936 himselfG1438 aliveG2198 afterG3326 hisG846 passionG3958 byG1722 manyG4183 infallible proofsG5039, being seenG3700 ofG1223 themG846 fortyG5062 daysG2250, andG2532 speakingG3004 of the things pertaining toG4012 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316: 4AndG2532, being assembled togetherG4871 withG3326 them, commandedG3853 themG846 that they shouldG5563 notG3361 departG5563 fromG575 JerusalemG2414, butG235 wait forG4037 the promiseG3588G1860 of the FatherG3588G3962, whichG3739, saith he, ye have heardG191 of meG1473. 5ForG3754 JohnG2491 trulyG3303 baptizedG907 with waterG5204; butG1161 yeG4771 shall be baptizedG907 withG1722 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151 notG3756 manyG4183 daysG2250 henceG3326. 6When theyG4905 thereforeG3767 were come togetherG4905, they askedG1905 of himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, wiltG1487 thouG600 atG1722 thisG3778 timeG3588G5550 restore againG600 the kingdomG3588G932 to IsraelG2474? 7AndG1161 he saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, ItG1097 isG1510 notG3756 for youG4771 to knowG1097 the timesG5550 orG2228 the seasonsG2540, whichG3739 the FatherG3588G3962 hath putG5087 inG1722 his ownG2398 authorityG1849. 8ButG235 ye shall receiveG2983 powerG1411, after thatG1904 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151 is comeG1904 uponG1909 youG4771: andG2532 ye shall beG1510 witnessesG3144 unto meG1473 bothG5037 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 JudæaG3588G2449, andG2532 in SamariaG4540, andG2532 untoG2193 the uttermostG2078 part of the earthG3588G1093. 9AndG2532 when he had spokenG3004 these thingsG3778, while they beheldG991, heG846 was taken upG1869; andG2532 a cloudG3507 receivedG5274 himG846 out ofG575 theirG846 sightG3588G3788. 10AndG2532 whileG5613 they looked stedfastlyG816 towardG1519 heavenG3588G3772 asG4198 heG846 went upG4198, beholdG3708, twoG1417 menG435 stood byG3936 themG846 inG1722 whiteG3022 apparelG2066; 11WhichG3739 alsoG2532 saidG3004, Ye menG435 of GalileeG1057, whyG5101 stand yeG2476 gazing upG1689 intoG1519 heavenG3588G3772? this sameG3778 JesusG3588G2424, which is taken upG353 fromG575 youG4771 intoG1519 heavenG3588G3772, shallG2064 soG3779 comeG2064 in like mannerG5158 asG3739 ye have seenG2300 himG846 goG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3588G3772. 12ThenG5119 returned theyG5290 untoG1519 JerusalemG2419 fromG575 the mountG3735 calledG3588G2564 OlivetG1638, whichG3739 isG1510 fromG1451 JerusalemG2419 a sabbath day’sG4521 journeyG3598. 13AndG2532 whenG3753 they wereG1510 come inG1525, they went upG305 intoG1519 an upper roomG3588G5253, whereG3757 abodeG2650 bothG5037 PeterG4074, andG2532 JamesG2385, andG2532 JohnG2491, andG2532 AndrewG406, PhilipG5376, andG2532 ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918, andG2532 MatthewG3156, JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, andG2532 SimonG4613 ZelotesG3588G2207, andG2532 JudasG2455 the brother of JamesG2385. 14TheseG3778 allG3956 continuedG4342 with one accordG3661 in prayerG3588G4335 andG2532 supplicationG3588G1162, withG4862 the womenG1135, andG2532 MaryG3137 the motherG3588G3384 of JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 withG4862 hisG846 brethrenG3588G80. 15

AndG2532 inG1722 thoseG3778 daysG3588G2250 PeterG4074 stood upG450 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the disciplesG3588G3101, andG5037 saidG3004, (the numberG3793 of namesG3686 togetherG1909 wereG1510 aboutG5613 an hundredG1540 and twentyG1501,) 16MenG435 and brethrenG80, thisG3778 scriptureG3588G1124 must needsG1163 have been fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 theG3588G4151 HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of DavidG1138 spake beforeG4302 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, which wasG1096 guideG3595 to them that tookG3588G4815 JesusG3588G2424. 17ForG3754 heG2674 wasG1510 numberedG2674 withG4862 usG1473, andG2532 had obtainedG2975 partG3588G2819 of thisG3778 ministryG3588G1248. 18NowG3767 this manG3778 purchasedG2932 a fieldG5564 withG1537 the rewardG3588G3408 of iniquityG3588G93; andG2532 fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burst asunderG2997 in the midstG3319, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 bowelsG3588G4698 gushed outG1632. 19AndG2532 it wasG1096 knownG1110 unto allG3956 the dwellersG2730 at JerusalemG2419; insomuch asG5620 thatG1565 fieldG3588G5564 is calledG2564 in theirG846 properG2398 tongueG1258, AceldamaG184, thatG3778 is to sayG1510, The fieldG5564 of bloodG129. 20ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, LetG1096 hisG846 habitationG3588G1886 beG1096 desolateG2048, andG2532 letG1510 noG3361 man dwellG2730 thereinG1722: andG2532 hisG846 bishoprickG3588G1984 letG2983 anotherG2087 takeG2983. 21WhereforeG3767 of these menG435 whichG3588 have companiedG4905 with usG1473 allG3956 the timeG5550 thatG3739 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 went inG1525 andG2532 outG1831 amongG1909 usG1473, 22BeginningG756 fromG575 the baptismG3588G908 of JohnG2491, untoG2193 that sameG3739 dayG3588G2250 thatG3739 he was taken upG353 fromG575 usG1473, mustG1096 oneG1520 be ordained to beG1096 a witnessG3144 withG4862 usG1473 of hisG846 resurrectionG3588G386. 23AndG2532 they appointedG2476 twoG1417, JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabasG923, whoG3739 was surnamedG1941 JustusG2459, andG2532 MatthiasG3159. 24AndG2532 they prayedG4336, andG2532 saidG3004, ThouG4771, LordG2962, which knowest the heartsG2589 of allG3956 men, shewG322 whetherG3739 ofG1537 theseG3778 twoG3588G1417 thou hast chosenG1586, 25That he may takeG2983 partG3588G2819 of thisG3778 ministryG3588G1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG3588G2398 placeG3588G5117. 26AndG2532 they gave forthG1325 theirG846 lotsG2819; andG2532 the lotG3588G2819 fellG4098 uponG1909 MatthiasG3159; andG2532 he was numberedG4785 withG3326 the elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
