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.

1 τον μεν πρωτον λογον εποιησαμην περι παντων ω θεοφιλε ων ηρξατο ιησους ποιειν τε και διδασκειν
2 αχρι ης ημερας εντειλαμενος τοις αποστολοις δια πνευματος αγιου ους εξελεξατο ανελημφθη
3 οις και παρεστησεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθειν αυτον εν πολλοις τεκμηριοις δι ημερων τεσσερακοντα οπτανομενος αυτοις και λεγων τα περι της βασιλειας του θεου
4 και συναλιζομενος παρηγγειλεν αυτοις απο ιεροσολυμων μη χωριζεσθαι αλλα περιμενειν την επαγγελιαν του πατρος ην ηκουσατε μου
5 οτι ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεις δε εν πνευματι βαπτισθησεσθε αγιω ου μετα πολλας ταυτας ημερας
6 οι μεν ουν συνελθοντες ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες κυριε ει εν τω χρονω τουτω αποκαθιστανεις την βασιλειαν τω ισραηλ
7 ειπεν προς αυτους ουχ υμων εστιν γνωναι χρονους η καιρους ους ο πατηρ εθετο εν τη ιδια εξουσια
8 αλλα λημψεσθε δυναμιν επελθοντος του αγιου πνευματος εφ υμας και εσεσθε μου μαρτυρες εν τε ιερουσαλημ και [εν] παση τη ιουδαια και σαμαρεια και εως εσχατου της γης
9 και ταυτα ειπων βλεποντων αυτων επηρθη και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων
10 και ως ατενιζοντες ησαν εις τον ουρανον πορευομενου αυτου και ιδου ανδρες δυο παρειστηκεισαν αυτοις εν εσθησεσι λευκαις
11 οι και ειπαν ανδρες γαλιλαιοι τι εστηκατε βλεποντες εις τον ουρανον ουτος ο ιησους ο αναλημφθεις αφ υμων εις τον ουρανον ουτως ελευσεται ον τροπον εθεασασθε αυτον πορευομενον εις τον ουρανον
12 τοτε υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ απο ορους του καλουμενου ελαιωνος ο εστιν εγγυς ιερουσαλημ σαββατου εχον οδον
13 και οτε εισηλθον εις το υπερωον ανεβησαν ου ησαν καταμενοντες ο τε πετρος και ιωαννης και ιακωβος και ανδρεας φιλιππος και θωμας βαρθολομαιος και μαθθαιος ιακωβος αλφαιου και σιμων ο ζηλωτης και ιουδας ιακωβου
14 ουτοι παντες ησαν προσκαρτερουντες ομοθυμαδον τη προσευχη συν γυναιξιν και μαριαμ τη μητρι [του] ιησου και συν τοις αδελφοις αυτου
15 και εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις αναστας πετρος εν μεσω των αδελφων ειπεν ην τε οχλος ονοματων επι το αυτο ως εκατον εικοσι
16 ανδρες αδελφοι εδει πληρωθηναι την γραφην ην προειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον δια στοματος δαυιδ περι ιουδα του γενομενου οδηγου τοις συλλαβουσιν ιησουν
17 οτι κατηριθμημενος ην εν ημιν και ελαχεν τον κληρον της διακονιας ταυτης
18 ουτος μεν ουν εκτησατο χωριον εκ μισθου της αδικιας και πρηνης γενομενος ελακησεν μεσος και εξεχυθη παντα τα σπλαγχνα αυτου
19 και γνωστον εγενετο πασιν τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ ωστε κληθηναι το χωριον εκεινο τη διαλεκτω αυτων ακελδαμαχ τουτ εστιν χωριον αιματος
20 γεγραπται γαρ εν βιβλω ψαλμων γενηθητω η επαυλις αυτου ερημος και μη εστω ο κατοικων εν αυτη και την επισκοπην αυτου λαβετω ετερος
21 δει ουν των συνελθοντων ημιν ανδρων εν παντι χρονω ω εισηλθεν και εξηλθεν εφ ημας ο κυριος ιησους
22 αρξαμενος απο του βαπτισματος ιωαννου εως της ημερας ης ανελημφθη αφ ημων μαρτυρα της αναστασεως αυτου συν ημιν γενεσθαι ενα τουτων
23 και εστησαν δυο ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον βαρσαββαν ος επεκληθη ιουστος και μαθθιαν
24 και προσευξαμενοι ειπαν συ κυριε καρδιογνωστα παντων αναδειξον ον εξελεξω εκ τουτων των δυο ενα
25 λαβειν τον τοπον της διακονιας ταυτης και αποστολης αφ ης παρεβη ιουδας πορευθηναι εις τον τοπον τον ιδιον
26 και εδωκαν κληρους αυτοις και επεσεν ο κληρος επι μαθθιαν και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων
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
New King James Version
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.
