Atti 1
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
Prologo
1 Nel mio primo libro ho gia trattato, o Teòfilo, di tutto quello che Gesù fece e insegnò dal principio 2 fino al giorno in cui, dopo aver dato istruzioni agli apostoli che si era scelti nello Spirito Santo, egli fu assunto in cielo.
3 Egli si mostrò ad essi vivo, dopo la sua passione, con molte prove, apparendo loro per quaranta giorni e parlando del regno di Dio. 4 Mentre si trovava a tavola con essi, ordinò loro di non allontanarsi da Gerusalemme, ma di attendere che si adempisse la promessa del Padre «quella, disse, che voi avete udito da me: 5 Giovanni ha battezzato con acqua, voi invece sarete battezzati in Spirito Santo, fra non molti giorni».
L'Ascensione
6 Così venutisi a trovare insieme gli domandarono: «Signore, è questo il tempo in cui ricostituirai il regno di Israele?». 7 Ma egli rispose: «Non spetta a voi conoscere i tempi e i momenti che il Padre ha riservato alla sua scelta, 8 ma avrete forza dallo Spirito Santo che scenderà su di voi e mi sarete testimoni a Gerusalemme, in tutta la Giudea e la Samaria e fino agli estremi confini della terra».
9 Detto questo, fu elevato in alto sotto i loro occhi e una nube lo sottrasse al loro sguardo. 10 E poiché essi stavano fissando il cielo mentre egli se n'andava, ecco due uomini in bianche vesti si presentarono a loro e dissero: 11 «Uomini di Galilea, perché state a guardare il cielo? Questo Gesù, che è stato di tra voi assunto fino al cielo, tornerà un giorno allo stesso modo in cui l'avete visto andare in cielo».
I. LA CHIESA DI GERUSALEMME
Il gruppo degli apostoli
12 Allora ritornarono a Gerusalemme dal monte detto degli Ulivi, che è vicino a Gerusalemme quanto il cammino permesso in un sabato. 13 Entrati in città salirono al piano superiore dove abitavano. C'erano Pietro e Giovanni, Giacomo e Andrea, Filippo e Tommaso, Bartolomeo e Matteo, Giacomo di Alfeo e Simone lo Zelòta e Giuda di Giacomo. 14 Tutti questi erano assidui e concordi nella preghiera, insieme con alcune donne e con Maria, la madre di Gesù e con i fratelli di lui.
La sostituzione di Giuda
15 In quei giorni Pietro si alzò in mezzo ai fratelli (il numero delle persone radunate era circa centoventi) e disse: 16 «Fratelli, era necessario che si adempisse ciò che nella Scrittura fu predetto dallo Spirito Santo per bocca di Davide riguardo a Giuda, che fece da guida a quelli che arrestarono Gesù. 17 Egli era stato del nostro numero e aveva avuto in sorte lo stesso nostro ministero. 18 Giuda comprò un pezzo di terra con i proventi del suo delitto e poi precipitando in avanti si squarciò in mezzo e si sparsero fuori tutte le sue viscere. 19 La cosa è divenuta così nota a tutti gli abitanti di Gerusalemme, che quel terreno è stato chiamato nella loro lingua Akeldamà, cioè Campo di sangue. 20 Infatti sta scritto nel libro dei Salmi:
La sua dimora diventi deserta,
e nessuno vi abiti,
il suo incarico lo prenda un altro.
21 Bisogna dunque che tra coloro che ci furono compagni per tutto il tempo in cui il Signore Gesù ha vissuto in mezzo a noi, 22 incominciando dal battesimo di Giovanni fino al giorno in cui è stato di tra noi assunto in cielo, uno divenga, insieme a noi, testimone della sua risurrezione».
23 Ne furono proposti due, Giuseppe detto Barsabba, che era soprannominato Giusto, e Mattia. 24 Allora essi pregarono dicendo: «Tu, Signore, che conosci il cuore di tutti, mostraci quale di questi due hai designato 25 a prendere il posto in questo ministero e apostolato che Giuda ha abbandonato per andarsene al posto da lui scelto». 26 Gettarono quindi le sorti su di loro e la sorte cadde su Mattia, che fu associato agli undici apostoli.
Деяния 1
Russian Synodal Version
1 Первую книгу написал я [к тебе], Феофил, о всем, что Иисус делал и чему учил от начала
2 до того дня, в который Он вознесся, дав Святым Духом повеления Апостолам, которых Он избрал,
3 которым и явил Себя живым, по страдании Своем, со многими верными доказательствами, в продолжение сорока дней являясь им и говоря о Царствии Божием.
4 И, собрав их, Он повелел им: не отлучайтесь из Иерусалима, но ждите обещанного от Отца, о чем вы слышали от Меня,
5 ибо Иоанн крестил водою, а вы, через несколько дней после сего, будете крещены Духом Святым.
6 Посему они, сойдясь, спрашивали Его, говоря: не в сие ли время, Господи, восстановляешь Ты царство Израилю?
7 Он же сказал им: не ваше дело знать времена или сроки, которые Отец положил в Своей власти,
8 но вы примете силу, когда сойдет на вас Дух Святый; и будете Мне свидетелями в Иерусалиме и во всей Иудее и Самарии и даже до края земли.
9 Сказав сие, Он поднялся в глазах их, и облако взяло Его из вида их.
10 И когда они смотрели на небо, во время восхождения Его, вдруг предстали им два мужа в белой одежде
11 и сказали: мужи Галилейские! что вы стоите и смотрите на небо? Сей Иисус, вознесшийся от вас на небо, придет таким же образом, как вы видели Его восходящим на небо.
12 Тогда они возвратились в Иерусалим с горы, называемой Елеон, которая находится близ Иерусалима, в расстоянии субботнего пути.
13 И, придя, взошли в горницу, где и пребывали, Петр и Иаков, Иоанн и Андрей, Филипп и Фома, Варфоломей и Матфей, Иаков Алфеев и Симон Зилот, и Иуда, [брат] Иакова.
14 Все они единодушно пребывали в молитве и молении, с [некоторыми] женами и Мариею, Материю Иисуса, и с братьями Его.
15 И в те дни Петр, став посреди учеников, сказал
16 (было же собрание человек около ста двадцати): мужи братия! Надлежало исполниться тому, что в Писании предрек Дух Святый устами Давида об Иуде, бывшем вожде тех, которые взяли Иисуса;
17 он был сопричислен к нам и получил жребий служения сего;
18 но приобрел землю неправедною мздою, и когда низринулся, расселось чрево его, и выпали все внутренности его;
19 и это сделалось известно всем жителям Иерусалима, так что земля та на отечественном их наречии названа Акелдама, то есть земля крови.
20 В книге же Псалмов написано: да будет двор его пуст, и да не будет живущего в нем; и: достоинство его да приимет другой.
21 Итак надобно, чтобы один из тех, которые находились с нами во всё время, когда пребывал и обращался с нами Господь Иисус,
22 начиная от крещения Иоаннова до того дня, в который Он вознесся от нас, был вместе с нами свидетелем воскресения Его.
23 И поставили двоих: Иосифа, называемого Варсавою, который прозван Иустом, и Матфия;
24 и помолились и сказали: Ты, Господи, Сердцеведец всех, покажи из сих двоих одного, которого Ты избрал
25 принять жребий сего служения и Апостольства, от которого отпал Иуда, чтобы идти в свое место.
26 И бросили о них жребий, и выпал жребий Матфию, и он сопричислен к одиннадцати Апостолам.
Acts 1
King James Version
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
21 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Acts 1
New King James Version
Prologue
1 The former account I made, O (A)Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 (B)until the day in which [a]He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit (C)had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 (D)to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many [b]infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
The Holy Spirit Promised
4 (E)And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have (F)heard from Me; 5 (G)for John truly baptized with water, (H)but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, (I)“It is not for you to (J)know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 (K)But you shall receive power (L)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and (M)you shall be [c]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and (N)Samaria, and to the (O)end of the earth.”
Jesus Ascends to Heaven(P)
9 (Q)Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, (R)He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them (S)in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, (T)will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
The Upper Room Prayer Meeting
12 (U)Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. 13 And when they had entered, they went up (V)into the upper room where they were staying: (W)Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and (X)Simon the Zealot; and (Y)Judas the son of James. 14 (Z)These all continued with one [d]accord in prayer [e]and supplication, with (AA)the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with (AB)His brothers.
Matthias Chosen(AC)
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the [f]disciples (altogether the number (AD)of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, 16 “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, (AE)which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, (AF)who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17 for (AG)he was numbered with us and obtained a part in (AH)this ministry.”
18 (AI)(Now this man purchased a field with (AJ)the [g]wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his [h]entrails gushed out. 19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:
and,
21 “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when (AM)He was taken up from us, one of these must (AN)become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 And they proposed two: Joseph called (AO)Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, (AP)who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen 25 (AQ)to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” 26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
