Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 1
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Lu-ca viết thêm một sách nữa
1 Kính gởi Thê-ô-phi-lơ. Trong sách thứ nhất tôi thuật lại mọi điều Chúa Giê-xu đã làm và dạy từ ban đầu 2 cho đến lúc Ngài được tiếp về trời. Trước đó, qua Thánh Linh, Ngài đã cho các sứ đồ được chọn biết họ phải làm gì. 3 Sau khi chịu chết, Ngài hiện ra cùng họ và chứng minh bằng nhiều cách rằng Ngài thật đang sống. Các sứ đồ thấy Chúa Giê-xu trong bốn mươi ngày sau khi Ngài sống lại từ kẻ chết. Ngài cũng nói cho họ biết về Nước Trời. 4 Có lần đang khi ăn với các môn đệ, Chúa dặn họ đừng rời thành Giê-ru-sa-lem. Ngài bảo, “Hãy ở đây chờ đợi điều Cha hứa mà ta đã cho các con biết. 5 Giăng làm lễ báp-têm cho dân chúng bằng nước, nhưng vài hôm nữa các con sẽ được làm báp-têm bằng Thánh Linh.”
Chúa Giê-xu được tiếp về thiên đàng
6 Trong khi đang nhóm họp, các môn đệ hỏi Chúa Giê-xu, “Thưa Chúa, có phải Ngài hiện đang tái lập nước Ít-ra-en không?”
7 Ngài đáp, “Cha là Đấng duy nhất có quyền định đoạt ngày giờ. Điều ấy các con không cần biết. 8 Nhưng khi Thánh Linh ngự xuống trên các con thì các con sẽ nhận lấy thần quyền và sẽ làm chứng cho ta—bắt đầu từ thành Giê-ru-sa-lem, cả miền Giu-đia, miền Xa-ma-ri rồi lan ra đến toàn thế giới.”
9 Sau khi nói xong, Ngài được tiếp về trời, trước mắt họ, có một đám mây che khuất Ngài. 10 Lúc Ngài đang cất lên thì họ cứ nhìn chăm lên trời. Bỗng có hai người mặc áo trắng xuất hiện đứng cạnh họ. 11 Hai người ấy hỏi, “Các ông Ga-li-lê ơi, sao lại đứng nhìn chăm lên trời? Chúa Giê-xu mà các ông thấy đang được tiếp lên trời, cũng sẽ trở lại như cách các ông thấy Ngài về trời vậy.”
Một sứ đồ mới được tuyển chọn
12 Rồi họ từ núi Ô-liu trở về Giê-ru-sa-lem. Núi đó cách Giê-ru-sa-lem khoảng nửa dặm. 13 Khi vào thành thì họ lên một phòng trên gác, nơi họ cư ngụ. Phia-rơ, Giăng, Gia-cơ, Anh-rê, Phi-líp, Thô-ma, Ba-thê-lê-mi, Ma-thi-ơ, Gia-cơ con A-phê, Xi-môn còn gọi là kẻ Quá khích và Giu-đa con Gia-cơ có mặt tại đó.
14 Cùng với một số phụ nữ, họ tiếp tục cầu nguyện. Trong số đó có Ma-ri, mẹ Chúa Giê-xu, và là mẹ các em Ngài.
15 Lúc ấy có một buổi họp của các tín hữu gồm khoảng một trăm hai mươi người. Phia-rơ đứng dậy nói rằng, 16-17 “Thưa anh chị em, trong Thánh Kinh, Đa-vít khi cảm nhận Thánh Linh có nói về việc Giu-đa. Hắn là một người trong chúng ta, cùng hầu việc chung với chúng ta nhưng hắn đã hướng dẫn người bắt Chúa Giê-xu.
18 Hắn mua một thửa ruộng bằng tiền kiếm được do hành vi gian ác của mình. Nhưng rồi té xuống chết, banh xác, đổ ruột ra. 19 Mọi người ở Giê-ru-sa-lem đều biết rõ chuyện ấy, cho nên họ gọi chỗ ấy là A-kên-đa-ma trong ngôn ngữ họ, nghĩa là ‘Ruộng Máu.’”
20 Phia-rơ tiếp, “Trong sách Thi thiên có viết như sau:
‘Nguyện chỗ ở của nó bị bỏ hoang;
để không ai ở đó.’ (A)
Và cũng có lời viết thêm:
‘Nguyện có người khác lãnh đạo thế chỗ nó.’ (B)
21-22 Cho nên chúng ta phải chọn một người làm chứng cùng với chúng ta về việc Chúa Giê-xu sống lại từ kẻ chết. Người ấy phải thuộc nhóm của chúng ta trong thời gian Chúa Giê-xu ở với chúng ta—từ lúc Giăng làm lễ báp-têm cho dân chúng cho đến lúc Ngài được tiếp về thiên đàng.”
23 Họ đưa hai tên ra trước mọi người trong nhóm. Một người tên là Ba-sa-ba cũng gọi là Giúc-tu, người kia tên Ma-thia. 24-25 Các sứ đồ cầu nguyện, “Lạy Chúa, Ngài biết tư tưởng của mọi người. Xin cho chúng con biết người nào được Ngài chọn để lo công việc Ngài. Xin cho chúng con biết ai sẽ làm sứ đồ thế Giu-đa, là người đã quay trở về nơi ở của nó.” 26 Sau đó họ bắt thăm. Thăm trúng Ma-thia cho nên ông được chọn gia nhập làm sứ đồ cùng với mười một người kia.

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.
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)

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.
