1 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, ² 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 ; ³ 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. ⁴ · kai While he was synalizō with them, he ordered parangellō them autos not mē 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; ⁵ 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.”

⁶ 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?” ⁷ 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. ⁸ 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 gē.” ⁹ 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.”

¹⁵ For dia this houtos reason , having heard akouō · ho about kata your hymeis faith pistis in en the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous and kai the ho love agapē · ho you extend to eis all pas the ho saints hagios, ¹⁶ I do not ou cease pauō giving thanks eucharisteō for hyper you hymeis, making poieō mention mneia of you in epi · ho my egō prayers proseuchē, ¹⁷ that hina the ho God theos of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, the ho Father patēr of ho glory doxa, may give didōmi you hymeis a spirit pneuma of wisdom sophia and kai revelation apokalypsis by en coming to know epignōsis more of him autos. ¹⁸ I pray that eis, with the ho eyes ophthalmos of ho your hymeis heart kardia enlightened phōtizō, you hymeis may comprehend oida the ho hope elpis to which ho he autos has called klēsis you, what tis are the ho rich ploutos benefits of ho his autos glorious doxa · ho inheritance klēronomia among en the ho saints hagios, ¹⁹ and kai what tis is the ho incomparable hyperballō greatness megethos of ho his autos power dynamis available for eis us hēmeis who ho believe pisteuō, according kata to the ho exercise energeia of ho his autos mighty kratos · ho strength ischus, ²⁰ which hos he accomplished energeō in en · ho Christ Christos when he raised egeirō him autos from ek the dead nekros and kai seated kathizō him at en his autos right dexios hand in en the ho heavenly epouranios realms , ²¹ infinitely superior hyperanō to every pas ruler archē, · kai authority exousia, · kai power dynamis, or kai dominion kyriotēs— · kai every pas name onoma that can be named onomazō— not ou only monon in en · ho this houtos age aiōn but alla also kai in en the ho age to come mellō. ²² And kai he placed hypotassō all pas things under hypo · ho Christ’ s autos feet pous and kai gave didōmi him autos as head kephalē over hyper all pas things to the ho church ekklēsia, ²³ which hostis is eimi · ho his autos body sōma, the ho fullness plērōma of the ho one who fills plēroō · ho all pas things in en every pas way .

⁴⁴ Then de he said legō to pros them autos, “ These houtos are · ho my egō words logos which hos I spoke laleō to pros you hymeis while I was eimi still eti with syn you hymeis, that hoti everything pas · ho written graphō in en the ho law nomos of Moses Mōysēs and kai the ho prophets prophētēs and kai psalms psalmos about peri me egō must dei be fulfilled plēroō.” ⁴⁵ Then tote he opened dianoigō their autos · ho minds nous so ho they could understand syniēmi the ho scriptures graphē, ⁴⁶ and kai said legō to them autos, “ Thus houtōs it is written graphō, that the ho Messiah Christos is to suffer paschō and kai to rise anistēmi from ek the dead nekros on the ho third tritos day hēmera, ⁴⁷ and kai that repentance metanoia and forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia is to be proclaimed kēryssō in epi · ho his autos name onoma to eis all pas the ho nations ethnos, beginning archō from apo Jerusalem Ierousalēm. ⁴⁸ You hymeis are witnesses martys of these houtos things . ⁴⁹ And kai behold idou, I egō am sending apostellō the ho promise epangelia of ho my egō Father patēr upon epi you hymeis, but de stay kathizō in en the ho city polis until heōs hos you have been clothed endyō with power dynamis from ek on high hypsos.”

⁵⁰ Then de he led exagō them autos out exō as heōs far as Bethany Bēthania, and kai lifting epairō up · ho his autos hands cheir he blessed eulogeō them autos. ⁵¹ · kai While en · ho he autos was blessing eulogeō them autos, he departed diistēmi from apo them autos and kai was carried anapherō up into eis · ho heaven ouranos. ⁵² And kai they autos worshiped proskyneō him autos and returned hypostrephō to eis Jerusalem Ierousalēm with meta great megas joy chara, ⁵³ and kai they were eimi continually dia pas in en the ho temple hieron blessing eulogeō · ho God theos.
