耶稣被接进天堂
6 当使徒们聚在一起时，他们问耶稣∶“主，现在是您把他们王国再赐给以色列人的时候吗？”
7 耶稣答道∶“天父以他的权威确定的日期和时刻，不是你们可以知道的。 8 但是，当圣灵来到你们身上的时候，你们将会领受到力量；你们将在耶路撒冷、在犹太和撒玛利亚全境，直至天涯海角，做我的见证人。”
9 说完这话，耶稣便在他们的注视下被升上天空。一片云遮掩着他，挡住了他们的视线。 10 当他离去时，他们都目不转睛地仰视着天空，突然有两个身穿白衣的人，站在他们的身边。 11 对他们说∶“加利利人啊，你们为什么站在这里望着天空呢？这个从你们这里被接进天堂的耶稣，你们看到他怎样到天堂去的，他还会怎样回来的。”
挑选一名新使徒
12 这之后，他们便从橄榄山返回了耶路撒冷。橄榄山离耶路撒冷大约有一公里的路程。 13 他们到达后，便到楼上他们住的那间屋子去了。这些人是彼得、约翰、雅各、安得烈、腓力和多马、巴得罗买和马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各，激进派的西门和雅各的儿子犹大。
14 这些人时常聚在一起虔诚地祈祷。加入他们的还有一些妇女，其中有耶稣的母亲马利亚和他的兄弟。
15 几天之后，信徒们聚在一起，（大约120人）彼得站在他们中间说： 16 “弟兄们，圣灵借大卫之口，在《经》上预言犹大领人逮捕耶稣的事情，是不能不应验的。 17 这个人曾是我们中的一员，和我们一同工作过。”
18 （这个人用他做恶的钱买了一块地。结果一头栽在那里，五脏迸裂而死，连肠子都流出来了。 19 所有住在耶路撒冷的人都听说了这件事，于是便用他们的语言给那块土地起了一个名字，叫亚革大马，意思是“血田”。）
20 “因为《诗篇》书中记载说：
‘愿他的住地荒芜，
永无人烟。’ (A)
并且说：
‘愿另一个人顶替他侍奉的位置。’ (B)
23 使徒便推举出了两个人：一个是约瑟，人们又叫他巴撒巴（也叫犹士都）；另一个人是马提亚。 24 然后，他们祷告说∶“主，你知道我们所有人的心，请您指出从这两个人中，你选中了谁做为使徒， 25 来顶替做为使徒这个侍奉的位置，就是犹大去了属于他的地方所留下的位置。” 26 他们在两个名字中抽了签。签子落到了马提亚的身上，他就加入了十一个使徒的行列。
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。
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
Tree of Life Version
When Will Yeshua Restore the Kingdom?
1 I wrote the first volume, Theophilus, about all that Yeshua began to do and teach— 2 up to the day He was taken up, after He had given orders by the Ruach ha-Kodesh to the emissaries He had chosen. 3 To them He showed Himself to be alive after His suffering through many convincing proofs, appearing to them for forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
4 Now while staying with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father promised—which, He said, “you heard from Me. 5 For John immersed with water, but you will be immersed in the Ruach ha-Kodesh not many days from now.”
6 So when they gathered together, they asked Him, “Lord, are You restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
7 He said to them, “It is not your place to know the times or seasons which the Father has placed under His own control. 8 But you will receive power when the Ruach ha-Kodesh has come upon you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and through all Judah, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
9 After saying all this—while they were watching—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 While they were staring into heaven as He went up, suddenly two men stood with them in white clothing. 11 They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you keep standing here staring into heaven? This Yeshua, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Appointing a New Emissary
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives[a] (which is near Jerusalem, a Shabbat day’s journey[b]). 13 When they had entered, they went up to the upper room where they were staying—Peter and John and Jacob and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; Jacob son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judah son of Jacob. 14 All these with one mind were continuing together in prayer—along with the women and Miriam, Yeshua’s mother, and His brothers.
15 In those days, Peter stood up among the brothers and sisters (the number of names all together was about a hundred and twenty) and said, 16 “Brothers,[c] the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Ruach ha-Kodesh foretold by the mouth of David, concerning Judah—who became a guide to those who seized Yeshua. 17 For he was counted among us and received his share of this office.” 18 (Now this man Judah bought a field with the reward of his wickedness. Falling headfirst, he burst open in the middle and his intestines splattered out. 19 And it became known to all those living in Jerusalem, so in their own language that field was called Akeldama[d]—that is, ‘Field of Blood.’) 20 For it is written in the Book of Psalms,
‘Let his dwelling place become desolate,
and let there be no one living in it’[e]
and ‘Let another take his position.’[f]
21 “Therefore one of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Yeshua went in and out among us— 22 beginning with His immersion by John until the day He was taken up from us—must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 So they nominated two—Joseph, called Barsabbas (also called Justus), and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who knows the hearts of all men, show us which of these two You have chosen 25 to take the position in this office as emissary, from which Judah turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was added to the eleven emissaries.
