1The first^G4413 account^G3056 I composed,^G4160 Theophilus,^G2321 about^G4012 all^G3956 that Jesus^G2424 began^G757 to do^G4160 and teach,^G1321
2until^G891 the day^G2250 when He was taken^G353 up, after He had by the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 given^G1781 orders^G1781 to the apostles^G652 whom^G3739 He had chosen.^G1586
3To these^G3739 He also^G2532 presented^G3936 Himself^G1438 alive,^G2198 after^G3326 His suffering,^G3958 by many^G4183 convincing^G5039 proofs,^G5039 appearing^G3700 to them over^G1223 [a period of] forty^G5065 days,^G2250 and speaking^G3004 of the things concerning^G4012 the kingdom^G932 of God.^G2316
4And gathering^G4871 them together,^G4871 He commanded^G3853them not to leave^G5563 Jerusalem,^G2414 but to wait^G4037 for what the Father^G3962 had promised,^G1860 "Which,^G3739" [He said,] "you heard^G191 of from Me;
5for John^G2491 baptized^G907 with water,^G5204 but you shall be baptized^G907 with the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 not many^G4183 days^G2250 from now.^{G3326 G3778} "
6And so^G3767 when they had come^G4905 together,^G4905 they were asking^G2065 Him, saying,^G3004 "Lord,^G2962 is it at this^G3778 time^G5550 You are restoring^G600 the kingdom^G932 to Israel^G2474?"
7He said^G3004 to them, "It is not for you to know^G1097 times^G5550 or^G2228 epochs^G2540 which^G3739 the Father^G3962 has fixed^G5087 by His own^G2398 authority^G1849;
8but you shall receive^G2983 power^G1411 when the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 has come^G1904 upon you; and you shall be My witnesses^G3144 both^G5037 in Jerusalem,^G2419 and in all^G3956 Judea^G2453 and Samaria,^G4540 and even^G2193 to the remotest^G2078 part^G2078 of the earth.^G1093 "
9And after He had said^G3004 these^G3778 things,^G3778 He was lifted^G1869 up while they were looking^G991 on, and a cloud^G3507 received^G5274 Him out of their sight.^G3788
10And as they were gazing^G816 intently^G816 into the sky^G3772 while He was departing,^G4198 behold,^G2400 two^G1417 men^G435 in white^G3022 clothing^G2067 stood^G3936 beside^G3936 them;
11and they also^G2532 said,^G3004 "Men^G435 of Galilee,^G1057 why^G5101 do you stand^G2476 looking^G991 into the sky^G3772? This^G3778 Jesus,^G2424 who has been taken^G353 up from you into heaven,^G3772 will come^G2064 in just^G3779 the same^G5158 way^G5158 as you have watched^G2300 Him go^G4198 into heaven.^G3772"
12Then^G5119 they returned^G5290 to Jerusalem^G2419 from the mount^G3735 called^G2564 Olivet,^G1638 which^G3739 is near^G1451 Jerusalem,^G2419 a Sabbath^G4521 day's journey^G3598 away.
13And when^G3753 they had entered,^G1525 they went^G305 up to the upper^G5253 room,^G5253 where^G3757 they were staying;^G2650 that is, Peter^G4074 and John^G2491 and James^G2385 and Andrew,^G406 Philip^G5376 and Thomas,^G2381 Bartholomew^G918 and Matthew,^G3102 James^G2385 [the son] of Alphaeus,^G256 and Simon^G4613 the Zealot,^G2208 and Judas^G2455 [the son] of James.^G2385
14These^G3778 all^G3956 with one^G3661 mind^G3661 were continually^G4342 devoting^G4342 themselves^G4342 to prayer,^G4335 along^G4862 with [the] women,^G1135 and Mary^G3137 the mother^G3384 of Jesus,^G2424 and with His brothers.^G80
15And at this^G3778 time^G2250 Peter^G4074 stood^G450 up in the midst^G3319 of the brethren^G80 (a gathering^G3793 of about^G5616 one^G1540 hundred^G1540 and twenty^G1501 persons^G3686 was there together^{G1909G3588G846}), and said,^G3004
16"Brethren,^G435G80 the Scripture^G1124 had^G1163 to be fulfilled,^G4137 which^G3739 the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 foretold^G4275 by the mouth^G4750 of David^G7035 concerning^G4012 Judas,^G2455 who became^G1096 a guide^G3595 to those^G3588 who arrested^G4815 Jesus.^G2424
17"For he was counted^G2674 among^G1722 us, and received^G2975 his portion^G2819 in this^G3778 ministry.^G1248"
18(Now^G3767 this^G3778 man^G3778 acquired^G2932 a field^G5564 with the price^G3408 of his wickedness;^G93 and falling^G1096 headlong,^G4248 he burst^G2997 open^G2997 in the middle^G3319 and all^G3956 his bowels^G4698 gushed^G7062 out.
19And it became^G1096 known^G1110 to all^G3956 who were living^G2730 in Jerusalem;^G2419 so^G5620 that in their own^G2398 language^G1258 that field^G5564 was called^G2564 Hakeldama,^G184 that is, Field^G5564 of Blood.^G129)
20"For it is written^G1125 in the book^G976 of Psalms,^G5568 'Let his homestead^G1886 be made^G1096 desolate,^G2048 And let no^G3361 man dwell^G2730 in it'; and, 'His office^G1984 let another^G2087 man^G2087 take.^G2983'
21"It is therefore^G3767 necessary^G1163 that of the men^G435 who have accompanied^G4905 us all^G3956 the time^G5550 that the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 went^G1831 in and out among^G1909 us –
22beginning^G757 with the baptism^G908 of John,^G2491 until^G2193 the day^G2250 that He was taken^G353 up from us – one^G1520 of these^G3778 should become^G1096 a witness^G3144 with us of His resurrection.^G386 "
23And they put^G2476 forward^G2476 two^G1417 men,^G1417 Joseph^G2501 called^G2564 Barsabbas^G923 (who^G3739 was also called^G1941 Justus^G2459), and Matthias.^G3103
24And they prayed,^G4336 and said,^G3004 "Thou, Lord,^G2962 who^G2589 knowest^G2589 the hearts^G2589 of all^G3956 men,^G3956 show^G322 which^G3739 one^G1520 of these^G3778 two^G1417 Thou hast chosen^G1586
25to occupy^G2983 this^G3778 ministry^G1248 and apostleship^G651 from which^G3739 Judas^G2455 turned^G3845 aside^G3845 to go^G4198 to his own^G2398 place.^G5117 "
26And they drew^G1325 lots^G2819 for them, and the lot^G2819 fell^G4098 to Matthias;^G3103 and he was numbered^G4785 with the eleven^G1733 apostles.^G652
