使徒行传 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
吩咐门徒等候圣灵
1 提阿非罗先生:我已经写了前书,叙述耶稣开始所行所教的一切, 2 一直到他借着圣灵吩咐所拣选的使徒之后,被接上升的日子为止。 3 他受难以后,用许多凭据向使徒显示自己是活着的。他向使徒显现,并且讲论 神的国的事,有四十天之久。 4 耶稣和他们一同吃饭的时候,吩咐他们不要离开耶路撒冷,说:“你们要等候父的应许,就是你们听我讲过的, 5 约翰是用水施洗,但再过几天,你们要受圣灵的洗。”
耶稣升天
6 他们聚集的时候,问耶稣说:“主啊,你要在这时候使以色列复国吗?” 7 耶稣说:“父凭着自己的权柄所定的时间或日期,你们不必知道。 8 可是圣灵降临在你们身上,你们就必领受能力,并且要在耶路撒冷、犹太全地、撒玛利亚,直到地极,作我的见证人。” 9 说完了这话,他们还在看的时候,他被接上升,有一朵云把他接去,就看不见他了。 10 当他往上升,他们定睛望天的时候,忽然有两个人,身穿白衣,站在他们旁边, 11 说:“加利利人哪,为甚么站着望天呢?这位被接升天离开你们的耶稣,你们看见他怎样往天上去,他也要怎样回来。”
选出马提亚作使徒
12 后来,他们从橄榄山回到耶路撒冷。那山靠近耶路撒冷,有一安息日可走的路程。 13 他们进了城,上了一间楼房,就是彼得、约翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力、多马、巴多罗迈、马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、激进派的西门、雅各的儿子犹大等人所住的。 14 这些人和几个妇女,耶稣的母亲马利亚,还有他的兄弟们,都在一起,同心地恒切祷告。
15 那时,约有一百二十人聚会,彼得在众弟兄中间站起来说: 16 “弟兄们,经上的话,就是圣灵借着大卫的口,预言那领人捉拿耶稣的犹大的事,是一定会应验的。 17 他本是我们中间的一个,一同领受了这职分。 18 他用不义的酬劳买了一块田,结果倒头栽了下去,腹破肠流。 19 这事住在耶路撒冷的人全都知道,所以按当地的话,那块地称为亚革大马,意思就是‘血田’。 20 因为诗篇上写着:
‘愿他的住处变为荒场,
无人居在其中。’
又说:
‘愿别人取代他的职分。’
21-22 所以,从约翰施洗起,直到主离开我们被接上升的那天为止,当他在我们中间来往的时候,那些跟我们常在一起的人中,应该有一个人出来与我们一同作耶稣复活的见证人。” 23 于是他们提出两个人:约瑟(号称巴撒巴,又名犹士都)和马提亚, 24 就祷告说:“主啊!你知道万人的心,求你从这两个人中,指明你要拣选谁, 25 来承担这使徒的职位和工作。这职位犹大已经放弃,往他自己的地方去了。” 26 大家就为他们抽签,结果抽中了马提亚,他就与十一使徒同列。

Jesus vender tilbake til himmelen
1 Kjære Teofilus!
I min første bok[a] fortalte jeg for deg om alt som Jesus gjorde og lærte 2-3 helt fram til den dagen da han ble tatt opp til himmelen. Etter at han hadde lidd, var død og stått opp fra de døde, viste han seg for de mennene han hadde valgt ut som sine spesielle utsendinger[b]. Han beviste på mange måter for dem at han levde. I 40 dager viste han seg for dem og fortalte om Guds plan for å frelse menneskene og gjøre dem til sitt eget folk. Gjennom Guds Hellige Ånd ga han en rekke råd og befalinger.
4 Ved en anledning, da han spiste sammen med sine utsendinger, sa han: ”Ikke reis fra Jerusalem før min Far i himmelen har sendt det han har lovet, det som jeg allerede har snakket med dere om. 5 Døperen Johannes døpte med vann, men om noen få dager skal dere bli døpt med Guds Hellige Ånd.”
6 En annen gang da de var samlet, spurte utsendingene Jesus: ”Herre, er det nå du vil sette fri Israel og la oss bli et mektig land igjen?” 7 Han svarte: ”Det tidspunktet bestemmer min Far i himmelen, det er ikke noe som dere får vite. 8 Men når Guds Hellige Ånd kommer over dere, skal dere få kraft, og dere skal fortelle for alle om meg, både i Jerusalem, i Judea, i Samaria og over hele jorden.”
9 Straks etter ble han løftet opp mot himmelen. Mens de sto og stirret etter ham forsvant han i en sky. 10 De forsøkte å få et siste glimt av ham, men plutselig sto to hvitkledde menn blant dem. 11 De sa: ”Dere menn fra Galilea, hvorfor står dere og ser opp mot himmelen? Jesus har blitt tatt opp fra dere og har vendt tilbake til himmelen, men en dag vil han komme tilbake på samme måten som han for opp!”
Mattias blir valgt for å erstatte Judas
12 Da alt dette skjedde, oppholdt Jesu utsendinger seg på Oljeberget, som ligger en snau kilometer fra Jerusalem. Nå vendte de tilbake dem til byen. 13 De gikk opp på det rommet i andre etasjen der de brukte å treffe hverandre. Det var Peter, Johannes, Jakob, Andreas, Filip, Tomas, Bartolomeus, Matteus, Jakob, som var sønn til Alfeus, Simon, som også ble kalt seloten[c], og Judas, som var sønn til Jakob. 14 Alle disse ba titt og ofte sammen. Flere kvinner, blant andre Maria, moren til Jesus, brukte også å komme dit, det samme gjorde brødrene til Jesus.
15 Noen dager seinere var omkring 120 troende samlet. Peter reiste seg opp og sa: 16 ”Kjære søsken, for lenge siden forutsa Guds Hellige Ånd ved kong David det som skulle skje med Judas, han som viste veien for dem som arresterte Jesus. Nå har det som var forutsagt i Skriften[d], blitt virkelighet.[e] 17 Som dere vet var Judas en av oss. Han var valgt ut til å være en av de nære utsendingene for Jesus akkurat som oss. 18 Men han ble en forræder. For de pengene han fikk for sviket, kjøpte han en åker. Det endte med at han falt hodestups, slik at kroppen sprakk og innvollene hans veltet ut. 19 Nyheten om måten han døde på spredde seg raskt blant alle i Jerusalem. De kalte stedet for Hakeldama på arameisk[f], noe som betyr ’Blodåkeren’. 20 David skriver i Salmenes bok:
’La hjemmet hans bli øde,
ingen skal bo der mer’,
og:
’La hans oppgave bli overtatt av en annen.’[g]
21-22 Derfor må vi nå velge en annen som kan ta plassen i stedet for Judas. En som sammen med oss kan fortelle at Herren Jesus har stått opp fra de døde. La oss velge en person som har vært med oss hele den tiden mens vi var sammen med Herren. En som har vært med helt fra den dagen da Jesus ble døpt av døperen Johannes og fram til dagen da han ble tatt opp til himmelen.”
23 De foreslo da to menn: Josef Barsabbas, som også ble kalt Justus, og Mattias. 24 Hele gruppen samlet seg i bønn, og sa: ”Herre, du kjenner hjertene hos hvert menneske. Vis oss hvem av disse to du har valgt ut. 25 La ham bli din utsending i stedet for Judas som svek oppdraget sitt, og nå har gått til stedet der han hører hjemme.”
26 Så trakk de lodd. Loddet falt på Mattias, som ble valgt til Jesu utsending sammen med de andre elleve.

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.
