Atti 1
La Nuova Diodati
1 Io ho fatto il primo trattato, o Teofilo, circa tutte le cose che Gesú prese a fare e ad insegnare,
2 fino al giorno in cui fu portato in cielo dopo aver dato dei comandamenti per mezzo dello Spirito Santo agli apostoli che egli aveva scelto.
3 Ad essi, dopo aver sofferto, si presentò vivente con molte prove convincenti, facendosi da loro vedere per quaranta giorni e parlando delle cose riguardanti il regno di Dio.
4 E, ritrovandosi assieme a loro, comandò loro che non si allontanassero da Gerusalemme, ma che aspettassero la promessa del Padre: «Che, egli disse, voi avete udito da me.
5 Perché Giovanni battezzò con acqua, ma voi sarete battezzati con lo Spirito Santo, fra non molti giorni».
6 Cosí quelli che erano riuniti assieme lo interrogarono, dicendo: «Signore, è in questo tempo che ristabilirai il regno a Israele?».
7 Ma egli disse loro: «Non sta a voi di sapere i tempi e i momenti adatti, che il Padre ha stabilito di sua propria autorità.
8 Ma voi riceverete potenza quando lo Spirito Santo verrà su di voi, e mi sarete testimoni in Gerusalemme e in tutta la Giudea, in Samaria e fino all'estremità della terra».
9 Dette queste cose, mentre essi guardavano, fu sollevato in alto; e una nuvola lo accolse e lo sottrasse dai loro occhi.
10 Come essi avevano gli occhi fissi in cielo, mentre egli se ne andava, ecco due uomini in bianche vesti si presentarono loro,
11 e dissero: «Uomini Galilei, perché state a guardare verso il cielo? Questo Gesú, che è stato portato in cielo di mezzo a voi, ritornerà nella medesima maniera in cui lo avete visto andare in cielo».
12 Allora essi ritornarono a Gerusalemme, dal monte chiamato dell'Uliveto, che è vicino a Gerusalemme quanto un cammin di sabato.
13 Rientrati in città, salirono nella sala di sopra, dove si trattenevano Pietro e Giacomo, Giovanni e Andrea, Filippo e Tommaso, Bartolomeo e Matteo, Giacomo d'Alfeo e Simone lo Zelota, e Giuda di Giacomo.
14 Tutti costoro perseveravano con una sola mente nella preghiera e supplica con le donne, con Maria, madre di Gesú, e con i fratelli di lui.
15 In quei giorni Pietro, alzatosi in mezzo ai discepoli (or il numero delle persone riunite era di circa centoventi), disse:
16 «Fratelli, era necessario che si adempisse questa Scrittura, che lo Spirito Santo predisse per bocca di Davide riguardo a Giuda, che fu la guida di coloro che arrestarono Gesú.
17 Perché egli era stato annoverato tra noi e aveva avuto parte in questo ministero.
18 Egli dunque acquistò un campo col compenso dell'iniquità e, essendo caduto in avanti, si squarciò in mezzo, e tutte le sue viscere si sparsero.
19 Questo divenne noto a tutti gli abitanti di Gerusalemme, cosicché quel campo nel loro proprio linguaggio è chiamato Akeldama, che vuol dire: "Campo di sangue".
20 E' scritto infatti nel libro dei Salmi: «Divenga la sua abitazione deserta e non vi sia chi abiti in essa», e: «Un altro prenda il suo ufficio».
21 Bisogna dunque che tra gli uomini che sono stati in nostra compagnia per tutto il tempo in cui il Signor Gesú è andato e venuto tra noi,
22 cominciando dal battesimo di Giovanni fino al giorno in cui egli fu portato in cielo da mezzo a noi, uno di questi diventi testimone con noi della sua risurrezione».
23 Or ne furono presentati due: Giuseppe, detto Barsaba, che era soprannominato Giusto, e Mattia.
24 E pregando, dissero: «Tu, Signore, che conosci i cuori di tutti, mostra quale di questi due hai scelto,
25 per ricevere la sorte di questo ministero e apostolato, dal quale Giuda si è sviato per andare al suo luogo».
26 Cosí tirarono a sorte, e la sorte cadde su Mattia; ed egli fu aggiunto agli undici apostoli.

The Promise of the Holy Spirit
1 The first account, O (A)Theophilus, I [a]composed, about all that Jesus (B)began to do and teach, 2 until the day when He (C)was taken up to heaven, after He (D)had [b]by the Holy Spirit given orders to (E)the apostles whom He had (F)chosen, 3 to whom (G)He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over forty days and speaking about (H)the things concerning the kingdom of God. 4 And [c]gathering them together, He commanded them (I)not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the (J)promise of the Father, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; 5 for [d](K)John baptized with water, but you will be baptized [e]with the Holy Spirit [f](L)not many days from now.”
6 So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, (M)is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” 7 But He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which (N)the Father has set by His own authority; 8 but you will receive power (O)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be (P)My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and (Q)Samaria, and even to [g](R)the end of the earth.”
The Ascension
9 And after He had said these things, (S)He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into [h]the sky while He was going, behold, (T)two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11 They also said, “(U)Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking toward heaven? This Jesus, who (V)has been taken up from you into heaven, will (W)come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”
Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas
12 Then they (X)returned to Jerusalem from the [i](Y)mount called [j]Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a [k]Sabbath day’s journey away. 13 And when they had entered the city, they went up to (Z)the upper room where they were staying; (AA)that is, Peter and John and [l]James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and (AB)Judas the [m]son of James. 14 These all with one accord (AC)were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with (AD)the women, and Mary the (AE)mother of Jesus, and His (AF)brothers.
15 And in those days, Peter stood up in the midst of (AG)the brothers (a crowd of about 120 [n]persons was there together), and said, 16 “Men, brothers, (AH)the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, (AI)who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 For he was (AJ)counted among us and received his share in (AK)this ministry.” 18 (Now this man (AL)acquired a field with (AM)the price of his unrighteousness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. 19 And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in (AN)their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms,
‘(AO)Let his residence be made desolate,
And let no one dwell in it’;
and,
21 Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that (AQ)the Lord Jesus went in and out [p]among us— 22 (AR)beginning [q]with the baptism of John until the day that He (AS)was taken up from us—one of these must become a (AT)witness with us of His resurrection.” 23 And they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and (AU)Matthias. 24 And they (AV)prayed and said, “You, Lord, (AW)who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen 25 to take the place of (AX)this ministry and (AY)apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 And they [r](AZ)cast lots for them, and the lot fell [s]to (BA)Matthias; and he was [t]added to (BB)the eleven apostles.

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)
