I wrote poieō the ho first prōtos book logos, Theophilus Theophilos, about peri everything pas that hos Jesus Iēsous began archō · ho to do poieō and kai to teach didaskō, until achri the hos day hēmera when, having given commands entellō through dia the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma to the ho apostles apostolos he had chosen eklegomai, he was taken analambanō up ; to whom hos also kai he presented paristēmi himself heautou alive zaō after meta · ho his autos passion paschō by en many polys proofs tekmērion, being seen optanomai by them autos over dia a period of forty tesserakonta days hēmera and kai telling legō them what ho concerns peri the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos. · kai While he was synalizō with them, he ordered parangellō them autos not to depart chōrizō from apo Jerusalem Hierosolyma, but alla to await perimenō the ho promise epangelia of the ho Father patēr, which hos, he said, “ you heard akouō from me egō; for hoti John Iōannēs baptized baptizō with water hydōr, but de you hymeis will be baptized baptizō with en the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma not ou many polys days hēmera from meta now houtos.”

So oun when they ho had come synerchomai together , they asked erōtaō him autos, saying legō, “ Lord kyrios, is this houtos the ho time chronos when you will restore apokathistēmi the ho kingdom basileia to ho Israel Israēl?” But de he said legō to pros them autos, “ It is eimi not ou for you hymeis to know ginōskō the times chronos or ē seasons kairos that hos the ho Father patēr has set tithēmi by en · ho his idios own authority exousia. But alla you will receive lambanō power dynamis when the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma has come eperchomai upon epi you hymeis, and kai you will be eimi my egō witnesses martys both te in en Jerusalem Ierousalēm and kai in en all pas · ho Judea Ioudaia and kai Samaria Samareia, and kai to heōs the end eschatos of the ho earth .” And kai when he had said legō these houtos words, while they autos were watching blepō, he was lifted epairō up and kai a cloud nephelē took hypolambanō him autos away from apo · ho their autos eyes ophthalmos. 10 And kai while hōs they were eimi gazing atenizō into eis the ho sky ouranos, as he autos was going poreuō, · kai behold idou, two dyo men anēr stood paristēmi by them autos in en white leukos robes esthēs, 11 and kai said legō, “ Men anēr of Galilee Galilaios, why tis do you stand histēmi looking emblepō up into eis the ho sky ouranos? This houtos · ho Jesus Iēsous, who ho was taken analambanō up from apo you hymeis into eis · ho heaven ouranos, will come erchomai in the same houtōs way tropos as hos you saw theaomai him autos going poreuō into eis · ho heaven ouranos.”

12 Then tote they returned hypostrephō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm from apo a hill oros · ho called kaleō “The Mount of Olives elaiōn,” which hos is eimi near engys Jerusalem Ierousalēm, a Sabbath sabbaton day’s walk away echō. 13 And kai when hote they had entered eiserchomai the city, they went up anabainō to eis the ho upper hyperōon room , where hou they were eimi lodging katamenō; · ho Peter Petros and kai John Iōannēs and kai James Iakōbos and kai Andrew Andreas, Philip Philippos and kai Thomas Thōmas, Bartholomew Bartholomaios and kai Matthew, James Iakōbos the son of Alphaeus Halphaios and kai Simon Simōn the ho Zealot zēlōtēs and kai Judas Ioudas the son of James Iakōbos. 14 These houtos all pas were eimi devoting proskartereō themselves with a single homothumadon purpose to ho prayer proseuchē, with syn the women gynē and kai Mary Mariam, the ho mother mētēr of ho Jesus Iēsous, and kai with ho his autos brothers adelphos.

15 And kai in en · ho those houtos days hēmera Peter Petros stood anistēmi up in en the midst mesos of the ho brothers adelphos (a crowd ochlos of people onoma, about hōsei a hundred hekaton and twenty eikosi, had gathered together epi), · ho and said legō, 16  My brothers anēr, it was necessary dei for the ho Scripture graphē to be fulfilled plēroō, which hos the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma spoke beforehand · ho · ho by dia the mouth stoma of David Dauid concerning peri Judas Ioudas, who ho became ginomai guide hodēgos to those ho who arrested syllambanō Jesus Iēsous. 17 For hoti he was eimi numbered katarithmeō among en us hēmeis and kai received lanchanō his ho allotted klēros share of ho this houtos ministry diakonia.” 18 ( Now oun this houtos man bought ktaomai a field chōrion with ek the reward misthos of his ho unjust adikia deed , and kai falling ginomai headfirst prēnēs he burst lakaō open in the middle mesos and kai all pas his autos intestines splanchnon gushed ekchunnomai out . · ho 19 And kai it became ginomai known gnōstos to all pas the ho inhabitants katoikeō of Jerusalem Ierousalēm, so hōste that the ho field chōrion was called kaleō in ho their autos own idios language dialektos Akeldama, that houtos is eimi, “ Field chōrion of Blood haima.”) 20  For gar it is written graphō in en the Book biblos of Psalms psalmos, ‘ Let his autos house epaulis become ginomai · ho deserted erēmos, and kai let there be eimi no · ho one living katoikeō in en it autos’; and kai Let lambanō another heteros take over lambanō · ho his autos responsibilities episkopē.’ 21 It is necessary dei, therefore oun, that of the ho men anēr who have accompanied synerchomai us hēmeis during en all pas the time chronos in which hos the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous came eiserchomai in and kai went exerchomai out among epi us hēmeis, 22 beginning archō from apo the ho baptism baptisma of John Iōannēs until heōs the ho day hēmera on which hos he was taken analambanō up from apo us hēmeis—that one heis of these houtos become ginomai with syn us hēmeis a witness martys of ho his autos resurrection anastasis.” 23 So kai they proposed histēmi two dyo, Joseph Iōsēph · ho called kaleō Barsabbas Barsabbas ( who hos was called epikaleō Justus Ioustos), and kai Matthias Maththias. 24 And kai they prayed proseuchomai and said legō, “ You sy, Lord kyrios, the one who knows kardiognōstēs the hearts of all pas, show anadeiknymi which hos one heis of ek these houtos two dyo you have chosen eklegomai · ho 25 to take lambanō the ho place topos of ho this houtos ministry diakonia and kai apostleship apostolē, from apo which hos Judas Ioudas turned parabainō aside to go poreuō to eis his own idios · ho place topos.” · ho 26 And kai they cast didōmi lots klēros for them autos, and kai the ho lot klēros fell piptō on epi Matthias Maththias, and kai he was counted synkatapsēphizomai with meta the ho eleven hendeka apostles apostolos.

The [a]former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach, until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen: to whom he also [b]showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God: and, [c]being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: for John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized [d]in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath [e]set within his own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.

12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey off. 13 And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and [f]James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, [g]James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the [h]son of [i]James. 14 These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, [j]with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

15 And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of [k]persons gathered together, about a hundred and twenty), 16 Brethren, it was needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus. 17 For he was numbered among us, and received his [l]portion in this ministry. 18 (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.) 20 For it is written in the book of Psalms,

[m]Let his habitation be made desolate,
And let no man dwell therein:

and,

[n]His [o]office let another take.

21 Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out [p]among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection. 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen, 25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place. 26 And they gave lots [q]for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
