I wrote poieō the ho first prōtos book logos, Theophilus Theophilos, about peri everything pas that hos Jesus Iēsous began archō · ho to do poieō and kai to teach didaskō, until achri the hos day hēmera when, having given commands entellō through dia the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma to the ho apostles apostolos he had chosen eklegomai, he was taken analambanō up ; to whom hos also kai he presented paristēmi himself heautou alive zaō after meta · ho his autos passion paschō by en many polys proofs tekmērion, being seen optanomai by them autos over dia a period of forty tesserakonta days hēmera and kai telling legō them what ho concerns peri the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos. · kai While he was synalizō with them, he ordered parangellō them autos not to depart chōrizō from apo Jerusalem Hierosolyma, but alla to await perimenō the ho promise epangelia of the ho Father patēr, which hos, he said, “ you heard akouō from me egō; for hoti John Iōannēs baptized baptizō with water hydōr, but de you hymeis will be baptized baptizō with en the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma not ou many polys days hēmera from meta now houtos.”

So oun when they ho had come synerchomai together , they asked erōtaō him autos, saying legō, “ Lord kyrios, is this houtos the ho time chronos when you will restore apokathistēmi the ho kingdom basileia to ho Israel Israēl?” But de he said legō to pros them autos, “ It is eimi not ou for you hymeis to know ginōskō the times chronos or ē seasons kairos that hos the ho Father patēr has set tithēmi by en · ho his idios own authority exousia. But alla you will receive lambanō power dynamis when the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma has come eperchomai upon epi you hymeis, and kai you will be eimi my egō witnesses martys both te in en Jerusalem Ierousalēm and kai in en all pas · ho Judea Ioudaia and kai Samaria Samareia, and kai to heōs the end eschatos of the ho earth .” And kai when he had said legō these houtos words, while they autos were watching blepō, he was lifted epairō up and kai a cloud nephelē took hypolambanō him autos away from apo · ho their autos eyes ophthalmos. 10 And kai while hōs they were eimi gazing atenizō into eis the ho sky ouranos, as he autos was going poreuō, · kai behold idou, two dyo men anēr stood paristēmi by them autos in en white leukos robes esthēs, 11 and kai said legō, “ Men anēr of Galilee Galilaios, why tis do you stand histēmi looking emblepō up into eis the ho sky ouranos? This houtos · ho Jesus Iēsous, who ho was taken analambanō up from apo you hymeis into eis · ho heaven ouranos, will come erchomai in the same houtōs way tropos as hos you saw theaomai him autos going poreuō into eis · ho heaven ouranos.”

12 Then tote they returned hypostrephō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm from apo a hill oros · ho called kaleō “The Mount of Olives elaiōn,” which hos is eimi near engys Jerusalem Ierousalēm, a Sabbath sabbaton day’s walk away echō. 13 And kai when hote they had entered eiserchomai the city, they went up anabainō to eis the ho upper hyperōon room , where hou they were eimi lodging katamenō; · ho Peter Petros and kai John Iōannēs and kai James Iakōbos and kai Andrew Andreas, Philip Philippos and kai Thomas Thōmas, Bartholomew Bartholomaios and kai Matthew, James Iakōbos the son of Alphaeus Halphaios and kai Simon Simōn the ho Zealot zēlōtēs and kai Judas Ioudas the son of James Iakōbos. 14 These houtos all pas were eimi devoting proskartereō themselves with a single homothumadon purpose to ho prayer proseuchē, with syn the women gynē and kai Mary Mariam, the ho mother mētēr of ho Jesus Iēsous, and kai with ho his autos brothers adelphos.

15 And kai in en · ho those houtos days hēmera Peter Petros stood anistēmi up in en the midst mesos of the ho brothers adelphos (a crowd ochlos of people onoma, about hōsei a hundred hekaton and twenty eikosi, had gathered together epi), · ho and said legō, 16  My brothers anēr, it was necessary dei for the ho Scripture graphē to be fulfilled plēroō, which hos the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma spoke beforehand · ho · ho by dia the mouth stoma of David Dauid concerning peri Judas Ioudas, who ho became ginomai guide hodēgos to those ho who arrested syllambanō Jesus Iēsous. 17 For hoti he was eimi numbered katarithmeō among en us hēmeis and kai received lanchanō his ho allotted klēros share of ho this houtos ministry diakonia.” 18 ( Now oun this houtos man bought ktaomai a field chōrion with ek the reward misthos of his ho unjust adikia deed , and kai falling ginomai headfirst prēnēs he burst lakaō open in the middle mesos and kai all pas his autos intestines splanchnon gushed ekchunnomai out . · ho 19 And kai it became ginomai known gnōstos to all pas the ho inhabitants katoikeō of Jerusalem Ierousalēm, so hōste that the ho field chōrion was called kaleō in ho their autos own idios language dialektos Akeldama, that houtos is eimi, “ Field chōrion of Blood haima.”) 20  For gar it is written graphō in en the Book biblos of Psalms psalmos, ‘ Let his autos house epaulis become ginomai · ho deserted erēmos, and kai let there be eimi no · ho one living katoikeō in en it autos’; and kai Let lambanō another heteros take over lambanō · ho his autos responsibilities episkopē.’ 21 It is necessary dei, therefore oun, that of the ho men anēr who have accompanied synerchomai us hēmeis during en all pas the time chronos in which hos the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous came eiserchomai in and kai went exerchomai out among epi us hēmeis, 22 beginning archō from apo the ho baptism baptisma of John Iōannēs until heōs the ho day hēmera on which hos he was taken analambanō up from apo us hēmeis—that one heis of these houtos become ginomai with syn us hēmeis a witness martys of ho his autos resurrection anastasis.” 23 So kai they proposed histēmi two dyo, Joseph Iōsēph · ho called kaleō Barsabbas Barsabbas ( who hos was called epikaleō Justus Ioustos), and kai Matthias Maththias. 24 And kai they prayed proseuchomai and said legō, “ You sy, Lord kyrios, the one who knows kardiognōstēs the hearts of all pas, show anadeiknymi which hos one heis of ek these houtos two dyo you have chosen eklegomai · ho 25 to take lambanō the ho place topos of ho this houtos ministry diakonia and kai apostleship apostolē, from apo which hos Judas Ioudas turned parabainō aside to go poreuō to eis his own idios · ho place topos.” · ho 26 And kai they cast didōmi lots klēros for them autos, and kai the ho lot klēros fell piptō on epi Matthias Maththias, and kai he was counted synkatapsēphizomai with meta the ho eleven hendeka apostles apostolos.

Introduction

The first account I [a]composed, (A)Theophilus, about all that Jesus (B)began to do and teach, until the day when He (C)was taken up to heaven, after He (D)had given orders [b]by the Holy Spirit to (E)the apostles whom He had (F)chosen. To [c]these (G)He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of (H)things regarding the kingdom of God. [d]Gathering them together, He commanded them (I)not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for [e](J)what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; for (K)John baptized [f]with water, but you will be baptized [g]with the Holy Spirit [h](L)not many days from now.”

So, when they had come together, they began asking Him, saying, “Lord, (M)is it at this time that You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” But He said to them, “It is not for you to know periods of time or appointed times which (N)the Father has set by His own authority; 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 as far as (R)the remotest part of the earth.”

The Ascension

And after He had said these things, (S)He was lifted up while they were watching, and a cloud took Him up, out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, then behold, (T)two men in white clothing stood beside them, 11 and they said, “(U)Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who (V)has been taken up from you into heaven, will (W)come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

The Upper Room

12 Then they (X)returned to Jerusalem from the [i](Y)mountain called [j]Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a [k]Sabbath day’s journey away. 13 When they had entered the city, they went up to (Z)the upstairs room where they were staying, that is, (AA)Peter, John, [l]James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, [m]James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and (AB)Judas the [n]son of [o]James. 14 All these (AC)were continually devoting themselves with one [p]mind to prayer, along with (AD)the women, and Mary the (AE)mother of Jesus, and with His (AF)brothers.

15 [q]At this time Peter stood up among (AG)the brothers and sisters (a group of about 120 [r]people was there together), and said, 16 [s]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 wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. 19 And it became known to all the residents of Jerusalem; as a result that field was called Hakeldama in (AN)their own language, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms:

(AO)May his residence be made desolate,
And may there be none living in it’;

and,

(AP)May another take his [t]office.’

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 [u]among us— 22 (AR)beginning [v]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 So 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, who (AW)know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two You have chosen 25 to [w]occupy (AX)this ministry and (AY)apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 And they [x](AZ)drew lots for them, and the lot fell [y]to (BA)Matthias; and he was added to (BB)the eleven apostles.
