1:1 In
the
first
book,
O
Theophilus,
I
have
dealt
with
all
that
Jesus
began
to
do
and
teach,
1:2 until
the
day
when
he
was
taken
up,
after
he
had
given
commands
through
the
Holy
Spirit
to
the
apostles
whom
he
had
chosen.
1:3 He
presented
himself
alive
to
them
after
his
suffering
by
many
proofs,
appearing
to
them
during
forty
days
and
speaking
about
the
kingdom
of
God.
1:4 And
while
staying
with
them
he
ordered
them
not
to
depart
from
Jerusalem,
but
to
wait
for
the
promise
of
the
Father,
which,
he
said,
"you
heard
from
me;
1:5 for
John
baptized
with
water,
but
you
will
be
baptized
with
the
Holy
Spirit
not
many
days
from
now."
1:6 So
when
they
had
come
together,
they
asked
him,
"Lord,
will
you
at
this
time
restore
the
kingdom
to
Israel"
1:7 He
said
to
them,
"It
is
not
for
you
to
know
times
or
seasons
that
the
Father
has
fixed
by
his
own
authority.
1:8 But
you
will
receive
power
when
the
Holy
Spirit
has
come
upon
you,
and
you
will
be
my
witnesses
in
Jerusalem
and
in
all
Judea
and
Samaria,
and
to
the
end
of
the
earth."
1:9 And
when
he
had
said
these
things,
as
they
were
looking
on,
he
was
lifted
up,
and
a
cloud
took
him
out
of
their
sight.
1:10 And
while
they
were
gazing
into
heaven
as
he
went,
behold,
two
men
stood
by
them
in
white
robes,
1:11 and
said,
"Men
of
Galilee,
why
do
you
stand
looking
into
heaven
This
Jesus,
who
was
taken
up
from
you
into
heaven,
will
come
in
the
same
way
as
you
saw
him
go
into
heaven."
1:12 Then
they
returned
to
Jerusalem
from
the
mount
called
Olivet,
which
is
near
Jerusalem,
a
Sabbath
day's
journey
away.
1:13 And
when
they
had
entered,
they
went
up
to
the
upper
room,
where
they
were
staying,
Peter
and
John
and
James
and
Andrew,
Philip
and
Thomas,
Bartholomew
and
Matthew,
James
the
son
of
Alphaeus
and
Simon
the
Zealot
and
Judas
the
son
of
James.
1:14 All
these
with
one
accord
were
devoting
themselves
to
prayer,
together
with
the
women
and
Mary
the
mother
of
Jesus,
and
his
brothers.
1:15 In
those
days
Peter
stood
up
among
the
brothers
(the
company
of
persons
was
in
all
about
120)
and
said,
1:16 "Brothers,
the
Scripture
had
to
be
fulfilled,
which
the
Holy
Spirit
spoke
beforehand
by
the
mouth
of
David
concerning
Judas,
who
became
a
guide
to
those
who
arrested
Jesus.
1:17 For
he
was
numbered
among
us
and
was
allotted
his
share
in
this
ministry."
1:18 (Now
this
man
acquired
a
field
with
the
reward
of
his
wickedness,
and
falling
headlong
he
burst
open
in
the
middle
and
all
his
bowels
gushed
out.
1:19 And
it
became
known
to
all
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
so
that
the
field
was
called
in
their
own
language
Akeldama,
that
is,
Field
of
Blood.)
1:20 "For
it
is
written
in
the
Book
of
Psalms,
"'May
his
camp
become
desolate,
and
let
there
be
no
one
to
dwell
in
it';
and
"'Let
another
take
his
office.'
1:21 So
one
of
the
men
who
have
accompanied
us
during
all
the
time
that
the
Lord
Jesus
went
in
and
out
among
us,
1:22 beginning
from
the
baptism
of
John
until
the
day
when
he
was
taken
up
from
us--one
of
these
men
must
become
with
us
a
witness
to
his
resurrection."
1:23 And
they
put
forward
two,
Joseph
called
Barsabbas,
who
was
also
called
Justus,
and
Matthias.
1:24 And
they
prayed
and
said,
"You,
Lord,
who
know
the
hearts
of
all,
show
which
one
of
these
two
you
have
chosen
1:25 to
take
the
place
in
this
ministry
and
apostleship
from
which
Judas
turned
aside
to
go
to
his
own
place."
1:26 And
they
cast
lots
for
them,
and
the
lot
fell
on
Matthias,
and
he
was
numbered
with
the
eleven
apostles.
