Hechos 1
La Biblia de las Américas
Introducción
1 El primer relato que escribí[a], Teófilo(A), trató de todo lo que Jesús comenzó a hacer y a enseñar(B), 2 hasta el día en que fue recibido arriba(C), después de que por el Espíritu Santo(D) había dado instrucciones a los apóstoles(E) que había escogido(F). 3 A estos[b] también, después de su padecimiento, se presentó vivo con[c] muchas pruebas convincentes, apareciéndoseles durante cuarenta días(G) y hablándoles de lo concerniente al reino de Dios(H). 4 Y reuniéndolos[d], les mandó que no salieran de Jerusalén(I), sino que esperaran la promesa del Padre(J): La cual, les dijo, oísteis de mí; 5 pues Juan bautizó con agua, pero vosotros seréis bautizados con[e] el Espíritu Santo(K) dentro de pocos días[f](L).
La ascensión
6 Entonces los que estaban reunidos, le preguntaban, diciendo: Señor, ¿restaurarás en este tiempo(M) el reino a Israel? 7 Y Él les dijo: No os corresponde a vosotros saber los tiempos ni las épocas que el Padre ha fijado con su propia autoridad(N); 8 pero recibiréis poder cuando el Espíritu Santo venga sobre vosotros(O); y me seréis testigos(P) en Jerusalén, en toda Judea y Samaria(Q), y hasta los confines de la tierra(R). 9 Después de haber dicho estas cosas, fue elevado mientras ellos miraban, y una nube le recibió(S) y le ocultó de sus ojos. 10 Y estando mirando fijamente al cielo mientras Él ascendía[g], aconteció[h] que se presentaron junto a ellos dos varones en vestiduras blancas(T), 11 que[i] les dijeron: Varones galileos(U), ¿por qué estáis mirando al cielo? Este mismo Jesús, que ha sido tomado de vosotros al cielo(V), vendrá de la misma manera(W), tal como le habéis visto ir al cielo.
En el aposento alto
12 Entonces regresaron a Jerusalén(X) desde el monte llamado de los Olivos[j](Y), que está cerca de Jerusalén, camino de un día de reposo. 13 Cuando hubieron entrado en la ciudad, subieron al aposento alto(Z) donde estaban hospedados, (AA)Pedro, Juan, Jacobo[k] y Andrés, Felipe y Tomás, Bartolomé y Mateo, Jacobo[l] hijo de Alfeo, Simón el Zelote y Judas(AB), hijo[m] de Jacobo[n]. 14 Todos estos estaban unánimes, entregados de continuo a la oración(AC) junto con las mujeres[o], y con María(AD) la madre de Jesús(AE), y con los hermanos de Él(AF).
La suerte de Judas y la elección de Matías
15 Por aquel tiempo[p] Pedro se puso de pie en medio de los hermanos(AG) (un grupo como de ciento veinte personas[q] estaba reunido allí), y dijo: 16 Hermanos[r], tenía que cumplirse la Escritura(AH) en que por boca de David el Espíritu Santo predijo acerca de Judas, el que se hizo guía de los que prendieron a Jesús(AI). 17 Porque era contado entre nosotros(AJ) y recibió parte en este ministerio(AK). 18 (Este, pues, con el precio de su infamia[s](AL) adquirió un terreno(AM), y cayendo de cabeza se reventó por el medio, y todas sus entrañas se derramaron. 19 Y esto llegó al conocimiento de todos los que habitaban en Jerusalén, de manera que aquel terreno se llamó en su propia lengua[t](AN) Acéldama, es decir, campo de sangre.) 20 Pues en el libro de los Salmos está escrito:
Que sea hecha desierta su morada,
y no haya quien habite en ella(AO);
y:
Que otro tome su cargo[u](AP).
21 Por tanto, es necesario que de los hombres que nos han acompañado todo el tiempo que el Señor Jesús vivió[v] entre nosotros(AQ), 22 comenzando desde el bautismo de Juan(AR), hasta el día en que de entre nosotros(AS) fue recibido arriba, uno sea constituido testigo con nosotros de su resurrección(AT). 23 Presentaron a dos: a José, llamado Barsabás (al que también llamaban Justo) y a Matías(AU). 24 Y habiendo orado(AV), dijeron: Tú, Señor, que conoces el corazón(AW) de todos, muéstranos a cuál de estos dos has escogido 25 para ocupar[w] este ministerio(AX) y apostolado(AY), del cual Judas se desvió para irse al lugar que le correspondía. 26 Echaron[x] suertes(AZ) y la suerte cayó sobre Matías(BA), y fue contado[y] con los once apóstoles(BB).

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.

Introduction and Theme
1 I wrote my first book, Theophilus, about everything Jesus began doing and teaching 2 until the day he was taken up, after he had given instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After he had suffered, he presented himself alive to the apostles with many convincing proofs. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and told them things about the kingdom of God.
4 Once, when he was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for what the Father promised, which you heard from me. 5 For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 So when they were together with him, they asked, “Lord, is this the time when you are going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Jesus Ascends to Heaven
9 After he said these things, he was taken up while they were watching, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 They were looking intently into the sky as he went away. Suddenly, two men in white clothes stood beside them. 11 They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here looking up into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.[a]
Matthias Is Chosen
13 When they entered the city, they went to the upstairs room where they were staying. Peter and John were there, also James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. 14 All of them kept praying together with one mind, along with the women, with Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 In those days, when the group there numbered about 120 people, Peter stood up among the brothers[b] and said, 16 “Gentlemen,[c] brothers, the Scripture[d] had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David about Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17 Judas was counted as one of us and was given a share in this ministry.
18 “Now this man acquired a field with what he was paid for his wicked act. When he fell headfirst, his middle burst open, and all his intestines spilled out. 19 This became known to all the residents of Jerusalem, and so in their own language that field was called Akeldema, which means Field of Blood. 20 Indeed, it is written in the book of Psalms:
May his residence be deserted.
Let there be no one dwelling in it.[e]
And,
let someone else take his position.[f]
21 “Therefore it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us during the entire time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day Jesus was taken up from us, become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23 They proposed two: Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away to go to his own place.”[g]
26 Then they assigned lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias. So he was counted with the eleven apostles.[h]
