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.

La Palabra (España)
Introducción (1,1-26)
La promesa del Espíritu Santo
1 Querido Teófilo: En mi primer libro me ocupé de lo que hizo y enseñó Jesús desde sus comienzos 2 hasta el día en que subió al cielo, una vez que, bajo la acción del Espíritu Santo, dio las oportunas instrucciones a los apóstoles que había elegido. 3 A estos mismos apóstoles se presentó después de su muerte y les dio pruebas abundantes de que estaba vivo, apareciéndoseles durante cuarenta días y hablándoles del reino de Dios.
4 Con ocasión de una comida que tuvo con ellos, les ordenó:
— No os marchéis de Jerusalén; esperad a que el Padre cumpla la promesa de que os hablé; 5 porque Juan bautizaba con agua, pero vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo dentro de pocos días.
La ascensión de Jesús
6 Los que lo acompañaban le preguntaron:
— Señor, ¿vas a restablecer ahora el reino de Israel?
7 Jesús les contestó:
— No es cosa vuestra saber la fecha o el momento que el Padre se ha reservado fijar. 8 Vosotros recibiréis la fuerza del Espíritu Santo que descenderá sobre vosotros y os capacitará para que deis testimonio de mí en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaría y hasta el último rincón de la tierra.
9 Y, dicho esto, lo vieron elevarse, hasta que una nube lo arrebató de su vista. 10 Estaban aún contemplando sin pestañear cómo se alejaba en el cielo, cuando dos personajes vestidos de blanco se presentaron ante ellos 11 y les dijeron:
— Galileos, ¿qué hacéis ahí plantados mirando al cielo? Estad seguros de que el mismo Jesús que ha sido arrebatado de junto a vosotros para subir al cielo, igual que lo habéis visto ir al cielo, volverá.
Elección del sucesor de Judas
12 Regresaron entonces a Jerusalén desde el llamado monte de los Olivos, lugar cercano a la ciudad, de la que distaba el trayecto que se permitía recorrer en sábado. 13 Cuando llegaron, subieron al piso en que se alojaban; eran Pedro, Juan, Santiago, Andrés, Felipe, Tomás, Bartolomé, Mateo, Santiago hijo de Alfeo, Simón el Zelote y Judas, hijo de Santiago. 14 Todos estos, junto con las mujeres, con María la madre de Jesús y con los hermanos de este, oraban constantemente en íntima armonía. 15 Uno de aquellos días, Pedro, puesto en pie en medio de los hermanos, que formaban un grupo de unas ciento veinte personas, habló como sigue:
16 — Hermanos, tenía que cumplirse lo que el Espíritu Santo anunció de antemano en la Escritura por medio de David, referente a Judas, el guía de los que detuvieron a Jesús. 17 Era uno de los nuestros y había tomado parte en nuestra tarea. 18 Pero después, con el producto de su delito, compró un campo, se tiró de cabeza desde lo alto y reventó por medio, desparramándose todas sus entrañas. 19 Este suceso se divulgó entre todos los habitantes de Jerusalén, por lo cual llamaron a aquel lugar, en su propio idioma, Hacéldama, es decir “campo de sangre”. 20 Todo esto está escrito en el libro de los Salmos:
Que su mansión se vuelva un desierto
y no haya quien habite en ella.
Y también:
Que otro ocupe su cargo.
21 Se impone, por tanto, que alguno de los hombres que nos acompañaron durante todo el tiempo en que Jesús, el Señor, se encontraba entre nosotros, 22 desde los días en que Juan bautizaba hasta que fue arrebatado de nuestro lado, se agregue a nuestro grupo para ser con nosotros testigo de su resurrección.
23 Así que propusieron a dos: a José, llamado Barsabás, y apodado "el Justo", y a Matías. 24 Luego hicieron esta oración: “Señor, tú que conoces a todos en lo íntimo de su ser, manifiesta a cuál de estos dos has escogido 25 para que ocupe, en este ministerio apostólico, el puesto del que renegó Judas para irse al lugar que le correspondía”. 26 A continuación echaron suertes, y le tocó a Matías, quien fue agregado al grupo de los otros once apóstoles.
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)
