Atos 1
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Introdução
1 No meu primeiro livro, Teófilo, eu escrevi a respeito de todas as coisas que Jesus fez e ensinou desde o princípio 2 até o dia em que foi levado para o céu. Antes, porém, por meio do Espírito Santo, ele deu instruções aos apóstolos que tinha escolhido.
3 Depois de sua morte, Jesus se apresentou vivo aos apóstolos e lhes deu muitas e indiscutíveis provas de que estava vivo. Ele lhes apareceu durante quarenta dias e lhes falou a respeito do reino de Deus. 4 Numa ocasião, quando estava comendo com eles, ele lhes deu esta ordem:
—Não saiam de Jerusalém, mas esperem pela promessa do Pai, da qual eu lhes falei. 5 Pois João batizava em água, mas vocês serão batizados no Espírito Santo, daqui a alguns dias.
Jesus é levado para o céu
6 Quando os apóstolos estavam reunidos com Jesus, eles lhe perguntaram:
—É agora, Senhor, que vai devolver o reino para Israel?
7 Ele lhes disse:
—O Pai é o único que tem autoridade de decidir sobre datas e tempos; não cabe a vocês saber essas coisas. 8 Mas receberão poder, quando o Espírito Santo vier sobre vocês, e então serão minhas testemunhas em Jerusalém, em toda a região da Judeia e Samaria e também pelos quatro cantos do mundo.
9 Depois de dizer isto, Jesus foi levado para o céu diante deles; e uma nuvem o cobriu, escondendo-o deles. 10 Eles continuaram olhando para o céu enquanto Jesus se afastava. De repente, dois homens vestidos de branco apareceram ao lado deles, 11 e disseram:
—Homens da Galileia, por que vocês estão aqui de pé olhando para o céu? Esse mesmo Jesus que foi levado de vocês para o céu voltará da mesma maneira que o viram partir.
A escolha de Matias
12 Depois disto, os discípulos voltaram para Jerusalém. Eles estavam no monte das Oliveiras, que ficava mais ou menos a um quilômetro[a] de distância. 13 Quando chegaram, foram para uma sala que ficava no andar de cima de uma casa, pois era ali que eles iam ficar. Eram eles: Pedro, João, Tiago e André; Filipe, Tomé, Bartolomeu e Mateus; Tiago (o filho de Alfeu), Simão (o que pertencia ao grupo dos zelotes)[b] e Judas (o irmão de Tiago). 14 Eles costumavam orar juntos. Com eles estavam também algumas mulheres, os irmãos de Jesus e Maria, a mãe dele.
15 Naqueles dias, Pedro se levantou no meio dos irmãos (havia naquele lugar mais ou menos cento e vinte pessoas) e disse:
16 —Meus irmãos! As coisas que o Espírito Santo revelou por meio de Davi a respeito de Judas, e que estão nas Escrituras, tinham que acontecer. Foi Judas que guiou os homens que prenderam a Jesus. 17 Esse homem era do nosso grupo e ajudava no nosso serviço. 18 (Ele comprou um campo com o dinheiro que ganhou pela sua maldade e foi lá que ele caiu de cabeça para baixo e se arrebentou e os seus intestinos se esparramaram. 19 Todos em Jerusalém ficaram sabendo disso e o campo ficou conhecido na própria língua deles como “Aceldama”, que quer dizer “Campo de Sangue”.)
20 Pois assim está escrito no livro dos Salmos:
“Que a sua habitação fique deserta
e que ninguém viva nela”.(A)
E também:
“Que outra pessoa fique com o seu cargo”.(B)
21 Por isso, é necessário escolher um dos homens que esteve conosco todo o tempo em que o Senhor Jesus também esteve, 22 começando pelo batismo de João, até o dia em que Jesus foi para o céu, para que juntos possamos ser testemunhas da sua ressurreição.
23 Então eles sugeriram estes dois homens: José, chamado Barsabás, mas também conhecido como Justo, e Matias. 24 Depois eles oraram, dizendo:
—O Senhor conhece os corações de todos. Então, por favor, mostre-nos qual destes dois homens deve trabalhar conosco 25 e ocupar o cargo de apóstolo que Judas abandonou para ir para o seu próprio lugar.
26 Eles sortearam entre os dois e a sorte saiu para Matias, que foi incluído no grupo dos onze apóstolos.
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)

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.
