1 The former * g3303 * g4413 treatise * g3056 have I made * g4160 g5668, O * g5599 Theophilus * g2321, of * g4012 all * g3956 that * g3739 Jesus * g2424 began * g756 g5662 both * g5037 to do * g4160 g5721 and * g2532 teach * g1321 g5721,
2 Until * g891 the day * g2250 in which * g3739 he was taken up * g353 g5681, after that he through * g1223 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151 had given commandments * g1781 g5674 unto the apostles * g652 whom * g3739 he had chosen * g1586 g5668:
3 To whom * g3739 also * g2532 he shewed * g3936 g5656 himself * g1438 alive * g2198 g5723 after * g3326 his * g846 passion * g3958 g5629 by * g1722 many * g4183 infallible proofs * g5039, being seen * g3700 g5740 of them * g846 * g1223 forty * g5062 days * g2250, and * g2532 speaking * g3004 g5723 of the things pertaining * g4012 to the kingdom * g932 of God * g2316:
4 And * g2532, being assembled together * g4871 g5740 with * g846 them , commanded * g3853 g5656 them * g846 that they should * g5563 not * g3361 depart * g5563 g5745 from * g575 Jerusalem * g2414, but * g235 wait * g4037 g5721 for the promise * g1860 of the Father * g3962, which * g3739, saith he , ye have heard * g191 g5656 of me * g3450. being...: or, eating together
5 For * g3754 John * g2491 truly * g3303 baptized * g907 g5656 with water * g5204; but * g1161 ye * g5210 shall be baptized * g907 g5701 with * g1722 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151 not * g3756 many * g3326 * g4183 days * g2250 hence * g5025.
6 When * g3303 they therefore * g3767 were come together * g4905 g5631, they asked * g1905 g5707 of him * g846, saying * g3004 g5723, Lord * g2962, * g1487 wilt thou * g600 at * g1722 this * g5129 time * g5550 restore again * g600 g5719 the kingdom * g932 to Israel * g2474?
7 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 them * g846, It is * g2076 g5748 not * g3756 for you * g5216 to know * g1097 g5629 the times * g5550 or * g2228 the seasons * g2540, which * g3739 the Father * g3962 hath put * g5087 g5639 in * g1722 his own * g2398 power * g1849.
8 But * g235 ye shall receive * g2983 g5695 power * g1411, after that the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151 is come * g1904 g5631 upon * g1909 you * g5209: and * g2532 ye shall be * g2071 g5704 witnesses * g3144 unto me * g3427 both * g5037 in * g1722 Jerusalem * g2419, and * g2532 in * g1722 all * g3956 Judaea * g2449, and * g2532 in Samaria * g4540, and * g2532 unto * g2193 the uttermost part * g2078 of the earth * g1093. power...: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you
9 And * g2532 when he had spoken * g2036 g5631 these things * g5023, while they * g846 beheld * g991 g5723, he was taken up * g1869 g5681; and * g2532 a cloud * g3507 received * g5274 g5627 him * g846 out of * g575 their * g846 sight * g3788.
10 And * g2532 while * g5613 they looked stedfastly * g2258 g5713 * g816 g5723 toward * g1519 heaven * g3772 as he * g846 went up * g4198 g5740, * g2532 behold * g2400 g5628, two * g1417 men * g435 stood by * g3936 g5715 them * g846 in * g1722 white * g3022 apparel * g2066;
11 Which * g3739 also * g2532 said * g2036 g5627, Ye men * g435 of Galilee * g1057, why * g5101 stand ye * g2476 g5758 gazing up * g1689 g5723 into * g1519 heaven * g3772? this same * g3778 Jesus * g2424, which * g3588 is taken up * g353 g5685 from * g575 you * g5216 into * g1519 heaven * g3772, shall * g2064 so * g3779 come * g2064 g5695 in like manner as * g3739 * g5158 ye have seen * g2300 g5662 him * g846 go * g4198 g5740 into * g1519 heaven * g3772.
12 Then * g5119 returned they * g5290 g5656 unto * g1519 Jerusalem * g2419 from * g575 the mount * g3735 called * g2564 g5746 Olivet * g1638, which * g3739 is * g2076 g5748 from * g1451 Jerusalem * g2419 a sabbath * g4521 day's journey * g2192 g5723 * g3598.
13 And * g2532 when * g3753 they were come in * g1525 g5627, they went up * g305 g5627 into * g1519 an upper room * g5253, where * g3757 abode * g2258 g5713 * g2650 g5723 both * g5037 Peter * g4074, and * g2532 James * g2385, and * g2532 John * g2491, and * g2532 Andrew * g406, Philip * g5376, and * g2532 Thomas * g2381, Bartholomew * g918, and * g2532 Matthew * g3156, James * g2385 the son of Alphaeus * g256, and * g2532 Simon * g4613 Zelotes * g2208, and * g2532 Judas * g2455 the brother of James * g2385.
14 These * g3778 all * g3956 continued * g2258 g5713 * g4342 g5723 with one accord * g3661 in prayer * g4335 and * g2532 supplication * g1162, with * g4862 the women * g1135, and * g2532 Mary * g3137 the mother * g3384 of Jesus * g2424, and * g2532 with * g4862 his * g846 brethren * g80.
15 And * g2532 in * g1722 those * g5025 days * g2250 Peter * g4074 stood up * g450 g5631 in * g1722 the midst * g3319 of the disciples * g3101, and said * g2036 g5627, * g5037 (the number * g3793 of names * g3686 together * g1909 * g846 were * g2258 g5713 about * g5613 an hundred * g1540 and twenty * g1501,)
16 Men * g435 and brethren * g80, this * g5026 scripture * g1124 must * g1163 g5713 needs have been fulfilled * g4137 g5683, which * g3739 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151 by * g1223 the mouth * g4750 of David * g1138 spake before * g4277 g5627 concerning * g4012 Judas * g2455, which * g3588 was * g1096 g5637 guide * g3595 to them that took * g4815 g5631 Jesus * g2424.
17 For * g3754 he was * g2258 g5713 numbered * g2674 g5772 with * g4862 us * g2254, and * g2532 had obtained * g2975 g5627 part * g2819 of this * g5026 ministry * g1248.
18 Now * g3303 * g3767 this man * g3778 purchased * g2932 g5662 a field * g5564 with * g1537 the reward * g3408 of iniquity * g93; and * g2532 falling * g1096 g5637 headlong * g4248, he burst asunder * g2997 g5656 in the midst * g3319, and * g2532 all * g3956 his * g846 bowels * g4698 gushed out * g1632 g5681.
19 And * g2532 it was * g1096 g5633 known * g1110 unto all * g3956 the dwellers * g2730 g5723 at Jerusalem * g2419; insomuch as * g5620 that * g1565 field * g5564 is called * g2564 g5683 in their * g846 proper * g2398 tongue * g1258, Aceldama * g184, that is to say * g5123 g5748, The field * g5564 of blood * g129.
20 For * g1063 it is written * g1125 g5769 in * g1722 the book * g976 of Psalms * g5568, Let * g1096 his * g846 habitation * g1886 be * g1096 g5676 desolate * g2048, and * g2532 let * g2077 g5749 no man * g3361 dwell * g2730 g5723 therein * g1722 * g846: and * g2532 his * g846 bishoprick * g1984 let * g2983 another * g2087 take * g2983 g5630. bishoprick: or, office, or, charge
21 Wherefore * g3767 of these * g5130 men * g435 which have companied * g4905 g5631 with us * g2254 all * g3956 the time * g5550 that * g1722 * g3739 the Lord * g2962 Jesus * g2424 went * g1831 in * g1525 g5627 and * g2532 out * g1831 g5627 among * g1909 us * g2248,
22 Beginning * g756 g5671 from * g575 the baptism * g908 of John * g2491, unto * g2193 that same day * g2250 that * g3739 he was taken up * g353 g5681 from * g575 us * g2257, must * g1163 g5748 one * g1520 be ordained * g1096 g5635 to be a witness * g3144 with * g4862 us * g2254 of his * g846 resurrection * g386.
23 And * g2532 they appointed * g2476 g5627 two * g1417, Joseph * g2501 called * g2564 g5746 Barsabas * g923, who * g3739 was surnamed * g1941 g5681 Justus * g2459, and * g2532 Matthias * g3159.
24 And * g2532 they prayed * g4336 g5666, and said * g2036 g5627, Thou * g4771, Lord * g2962, which knowest the hearts * g2589 of all * g3956 men , shew * g322 g5657 whether * g3739 * g1520 of * g1537 these * g5130 two * g1417 thou hast chosen * g1586 g5668,
25 That he may take * g2983 g5629 part * g2819 of this * g5026 ministry * g1248 and * g2532 apostleship * g651, from * g1537 which * g3739 Judas * g2455 by transgression fell * g3845 g5627, that he might go * g4198 g5677 to * g1519 his own * g2398 place * g5117.
26 And * g2532 they gave forth * g1325 g5656 their * g846 lots * g2819; and * g2532 the lot * g2819 fell * g4098 g5627 upon * g1909 Matthias * g3159; and * g2532 he was numbered * g4785 g5681 with * g3326 the eleven * g1733 apostles * g652.
