The first
account
I composed,
Theophilus,
about
all
that Jesus
began
to do
and teach,
2
until
the day
when He was taken
up to heaven, after He had by the Holy
Spirit
given orders
to the apostles
whom
He had chosen.
3
To these
He also
presented
Himself
alive
after
His suffering,
by many
convincing proofs,
appearing
to them over
a period of forty
days
and speaking
of the things concerning
the kingdom
of God.
4
Gathering them together,
He commanded
them not to leave
Jerusalem,
but to wait
for what the Father
had promised,
"Which,"
He said, "you heard
of 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 had come together,
they were asking
Him, saying,
"Lord,
is it at this
time
You are restoring
the kingdom
to Israel?"
7
He said
to them, "It is not f
or
you to know
times
or
epochs
which
the Father
has fixed
by His own
auth
or
ity;
8
but you will receive
power
when the Holy
Spirit
has come
upon you; and you shall be My witnesses
both
in Jerusalem,
and in all
Judea
and Samaria,
and even
to the remotest part
of the earth."
9
And after He had said
these things,
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 the sky
while He was going,
behold,
two
men
in white
clothing
stood beside
them.
11
They also
said,
"Men
of Galilee,
why
do you stand
looking
into the sky?
This
Jesus,
who has been taken
up from you into heaven,
will come
in just
the same way
as you have watched
Him go
into heaven."
12
Then
they returned
to Jerusalem
from the mount
called
Olivet,
which
is near
Jerusalem,
a Sabbath
day's journey
away.
13
When
they had entered
the city, they went
up to the upper room
where
they were staying;
that is, Peter
and John
and
James
and Andrew,
Philip
and Thomas,
Bartholomew
and Matthew,
James
the son of Alphaeus,
and Simon
the Zealot,
and Judas
the son of
James
.
14
These
all
with one mind
were continually devoting themselves
to prayer,
along
with the women,
and Mary
the mother
of Jesus,
and with His brothers.
15
At this
time
Peter
stood
up in the midst
of the brethren
(a gathering
of about
one hundred
and twenty
persons
was there together),
and said,
16
"Brethren,
the Scripture
had
to be fulfilled,
which
the Holy
Spirit
foretold
by the mouth
of David
concerning
Judas,
who became
a guide
to those
who arrested
Jesus.
17
"For he was counted
among
us and received
his share
in this
ministry."
18
(Now
this man
acquired
a field
with 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
who were living
in Jerusalem;
so
that in their own
language
that field
was called
Hakeldama,
that is, Field
of Blood.)
20
"For it is written
in the book
of Psalms,
'
LET HIS HOMESTEAD
BE MADE
DESOLATE,
AND LET NO ONE
DWELL
IN IT'; and, 'LET ANOTHER MAN
TAKE
HIS OFFICE.'
21
"Therefore
it is necessary
that of the men
who have accompanied
us all
the time
that the Lord
Jesus
went
in and out among
us--
22
beginning
with the baptism
of John
until
the day
that He was taken
up from us-- one
of these
must become
a witness
with us of His resurrection."
23
So
they put forward
two men,
Joseph
called
Barsabbas
(who
was also
called
Justus),
and Matthias.
24
And they prayed
and said,
"You, Lord,
who know the hearts
of all men,
show
which
one
of these
two
You have chosen
25
to occupy
this
ministry
and apostleship
from which
Judas
turned aside
to go
to his own
place."
26
And they drew
lots
for them, and the lot
fell
to Matthias;
and he was added
to the eleven
apostles.
