Acts 1
English Standard Version
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
1 In the first book, O (A)Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began (B)to do and teach, 2 until the day when (C)he was taken up, after he (D)had given commands (E)through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 (F)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.
4 And while staying[a] with them (G)he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for (H)John baptized with water, (I)but you will be baptized (J)with[b] the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
The Ascension
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, (K)will you at this time (L)restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, (M)“It is not for you to know (N)times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive (O)power (P)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and (Q)you will be (R)my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and (S)Samaria, and (T)to the end of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, (U)he was lifted up, and (V)a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, (W)two (X)men stood by them in (Y)white robes, 11 and said, (Z)“Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, (AA)will (AB)come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
12 Then (AC)they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. 13 And when they had entered, they went up to (AD)the upper room, where they were staying, (AE)Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon (AF)the Zealot and Judas the son of James. 14 All these (AG)with one accord (AH)were devoting themselves to prayer, together with (AI)the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and (AJ)his brothers.[c]
15 In those days Peter stood up among (AK)the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, 16 “Brothers, (AL)the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, (AM)who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 For (AN)he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in (AO)this ministry.” 18 (Now this man (AP)acquired a field with (AQ)the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong[d] he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called (AR)in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms,
(AS)“‘May his camp become desolate,
and let there be no one to dwell in it’;
and
(AT)“‘Let another take his office.’
21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during (AU)all the time that the Lord Jesus (AV)went in and out among us, 22 (AW)beginning from the baptism of John until the day when (AX)he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us (AY)a witness to his resurrection.” 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called (AZ)Barsabbas, who was also called (BA)Justus, and (BB)Matthias. 24 And (BC)they prayed and said, “You, Lord, (BD)who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in (BE)this ministry and (BF)apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Acts 1
New International Version
Jesus Taken Up Into Heaven
1 In my former book,(A) Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach(B) 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven,(C) after giving instructions(D) through the Holy Spirit to the apostles(E) he had chosen.(F) 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them(G) over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.(H) 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait(I) for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.(J) 5 For John baptized with[a] water,(K) but in a few days you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.”(L)
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore(M) the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.(N) 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;(O) and you will be my witnesses(P) in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,(Q) and to the ends of the earth.”(R)
9 After he said this, he was taken up(S) before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white(T) stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,”(U) they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back(V) in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem(W) from the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) a Sabbath day’s walk[c] from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room(Y) where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.(Z) 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer,(AA) along with the women(AB) and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.(AC)
15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty) 16 and said, “Brothers and sisters,[d](AD) the Scripture had to be fulfilled(AE) in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas,(AF) who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17 He was one of our number(AG) and shared in our ministry.”(AH)
18 (With the payment(AI) he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field;(AJ) there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language(AK) Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms:
and,
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism(AN) to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness(AO) with us of his resurrection.”
23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed,(AP) “Lord, you know everyone’s heart.(AQ) Show us(AR) which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.(AS)

Atos 1
Nova Versão Transformadora
A promessa do Espírito Santo
1 Em meu primeiro livro,[a] relatei a você, Teófilo, tudo que Jesus começou a fazer e a ensinar 2 até o dia em que foi levado para o céu, depois de dar a seus apóstolos escolhidos mais instruções por meio do Espírito Santo. 3 Durante os quarenta dias após seu sofrimento e morte, Jesus apareceu aos apóstolos diversas vezes. Ele lhes apresentou muitas provas claras de que estava vivo e lhes falou do reino de Deus.
4 Certa ocasião, enquanto comia com eles, deu-lhes a seguinte ordem: “Não saiam de Jerusalém até o Pai enviar a promessa, conforme eu lhes disse antes. 5 João batizou com[b] água, mas dentro de poucos dias vocês serão batizados com o Espírito Santo”.
A ascensão de Jesus
6 Então os que estavam com Jesus lhe perguntaram: “Senhor, será esse o momento em que restaurará o reino a Israel?”.
7 Ele respondeu: “O Pai já determinou o tempo e a ocasião para que isso aconteça, e não cabe a vocês saber. 8 Vocês receberão poder quando o Espírito Santo descer sobre vocês, e serão minhas testemunhas em toda parte: em Jerusalém, em toda a Judeia, em Samaria e nos lugares mais distantes da terra”.
9 Depois de ter dito isso, foi elevado numa nuvem, e os discípulos não conseguiram mais vê-lo. 10 Continuaram a olhar atentamente para o céu, até que dois homens vestidos de branco apareceram de repente no meio deles 11 e disseram: “Homens da Galileia, por que estão aí parados, olhando para o céu? Esse Jesus, que foi elevado do meio de vocês ao céu, voltará do mesmo modo como o viram subir!”.
Matias substitui Judas
12 Então voltaram do monte das Oliveiras para Jerusalém, cerca de um quilômetro[c] de distância. 13 Quando chegaram, subiram à sala no andar superior da casa onde estavam hospedados.
Estavam ali Pedro, João, Tiago, André, Filipe, Tomé, Bartolomeu, Mateus, Tiago, filho de Alfeu, Simão, o zelote, e Judas, filho de Tiago. 14 Todos eles se reuniam em oração com um só propósito, acompanhados de algumas mulheres e também de Maria, mãe de Jesus, e os irmãos dele.
15 Por esse tempo, quando cerca de 120 discípulos[d] estavam reunidos num só lugar, Pedro se levantou e disse: 16 “Irmãos, era necessário que se cumprissem as Escrituras a respeito de Judas, que serviu de guia aos que prenderam Jesus. Esse acontecimento havia sido predito pelo Espírito Santo, por meio do rei Davi. 17 Judas era um de nós e participava do ministério conosco”.
18 (Ele comprou um campo com o dinheiro que recebeu por sua perversidade. Ao cair ali de cabeça, seu corpo se partiu ao meio, e seus intestinos se derramaram. 19 A notícia se espalhou entre todos os habitantes de Jerusalém, e eles deram ao lugar o nome aramaico Aceldama, que significa “Campo de Sangue”.)
20 Pedro continuou: “Estava escrito no livro de Salmos: ‘Que sua casa fique desolada, sem ninguém morando nela’. Também diz: ‘Que outro ocupe seu lugar’.[e]
21 “Agora, portanto, devemos escolher um dentre os homens que estiveram conosco durante todo o tempo em que o Senhor Jesus andou entre nós, 22 desde que ele foi batizado por João até o dia em que foi tirado de nosso meio e elevado ao céu. O escolhido se juntará a nós como testemunha da ressurreição”.
23 Então indicaram dois homens: José, chamado Barsabás e conhecido também como Justo, e Matias. 24 Em seguida, oraram: “Senhor, tu conheces cada coração. Mostra-nos qual destes homens escolheste 25 como apóstolo para substituir Judas neste ministério, pois ele se desviou e foi para seu devido lugar”. 26 Então lançaram sortes e Matias foi escolhido como apóstolo, juntando-se aos outros onze.
