The former{G4413} treatise{G3056} I made,{G4160} O{G5599} Theophilus,{G2321} concerning{G4012} all{G3956} that{G3739} Jesus{G2424} began{G756} both{G5037} to do{G4160} and{G2532} to teach,{G1321}

until{G891} the day{G2250} in which{G3739} he was received up,{G353} after that he{G1781} had given commandment{G1781} through{G1223} the{G4151} Holy{G40} Spirit{G4151} unto the apostles{G652} whom{G3739} he had chosen:{G1586}

To whom{G3739} he also{G2532} showed{G3936} himself{G1438} alive{G2198} after{G3326} his{G846} passion{G3958} by{G1722} many{G4183} proofs,{G5039} appearing{G3700} unto{G1223} them{G846} by the space of forty{G5062} days,{G2250} and{G2532} speaking{G3004} the things concerning{G4012} the kingdom{G932} of God:{G2316}

and,{G2532} being assembled together{G4871} with{G3326} them,{G846} he charged{G3853} them{G846} not{G3361} to{G5563} depart{G5563} from{G575} Jerusalem,{G2414} but{G235} to wait for{G4037} the promise{G1860} of the Father,{G3962} which,{G3739} [said he,] ye heard{G191} from me:{G3450}

For{G3754} John{G2491} indeed{G3303} baptized{G907} with water;{G5204} but{G1161} ye{G5210} shall be baptized{G907} in{G1722} the{G4151} Holy{G40} Spirit{G4151} not{G3756} many{G4183} days{G2250} hence.{G3778}

They{G4905} therefore,{G3767} when they{G4905} were come together,{G4905} asked{G1905} him,{G846} saying,{G3004} Lord,{G2962} dost{G1487} thou{G600} at{G1722} this{G5129} time{G5550} restore the kingdom{G932} to Israel?{G2474}

And{G1161} he said{G2036} unto{G4314} them,{G846} It{G1097} is{G2076} not{G3756} for you{G5216} to know{G1097} times{G5550} or{G2228} seasons,{G2540} which{G3739} the Father{G3962} hath set{G5087} within{G1722} His own{G2398} authority.{G1849}

But{G235} ye shall receive{G2983} power,{G1411} when{G1904} the{G4151} Holy{G40} Spirit{G4151} is come{G1904} upon{G1909} you:{G5209} and{G2532} ye shall be{G2071} my{G3427} witnesses{G3144} both{G5037} in{G1722} Jerusalem,{G2419} and{G2532} in{G1722} all{G3956} Judaea{G2449} and{G2532} Samaria,{G4540} and{G2532} unto{G2193} the uttermost{G2078} part of the earth.{G1093}

And{G2532} when he had said{G2036} these things,{G5023} as they were looking,{G991} he{G846} was taken up;{G1869} and{G2532} a cloud{G3507} received{G5274} him{G846} out of{G575} their{G846} sight.{G3788}

And{G2532} while{G5613} they were{G2258} looking stedfastly{G816} into{G1519} heaven{G3772} as{G4198} he{G846} went,{G2532} behold,{G2400} two{G1417} men{G435} stood by{G3936} them{G846} in{G1722} white{G3022} apparel;{G2066}

who{G3739} also{G2532} said,{G2036} Ye{G2476} men{G435} of Galilee,{G1057} why{G5101} stand ye{G2476} looking{G1689} into{G1519} heaven?{G3772} this Jesus,{G2424} who was received up{G353} from{G575} you{G5216} into{G1519} heaven{G3772} shall{G2064} so{G3779} come{G2064} in like{G3739} manner{G5158} as{G3739} ye beheld him{G846} going{G4198} into{G1519} heaven.{G3772}

Then{G5119} returned they{G5290} unto{G1519} Jerusalem{G2419} from{G575} the mount{G3735} called{G2564} Olivet,{G1638} which{G3739} is{G2076} nigh unto Jerusalem,{G2419} a{G2192} Sabbath day's{G4521} journey{G3598} off.{G2192}

And{G2532} when{G3753} they were{G2258} come in,{G1525} they went up{G305} into{G1519} the upper chamber,{G5253} where{G3757} they were abiding;{G2650} both{G5037} Peter{G4074} and{G2532} John{G2491} and{G2532} James{G2385} and{G2532} Andrew,{G406} Philip{G5376} and{G2532} Thomas,{G2381} Bartholomew{G918} and{G2532} Matthew,{G3156} James{G2385} [the son] of Alphaeus,{G256} and{G2532} Simon{G4613} the Zealot,{G2207} and{G2532} Judas{G2455} [the son] of James.{G2385}

These{G3778} all{G3956} {G2258} with one accord{G3661} continued{G4342} stedfastly in prayer,{G4335} {G2532} {G1162} with{G4862} the women,{G1135} and{G2532} Mary{G3137} the mother{G3384} of Jesus,{G2424} and{G2532} with{G4862} his{G846} brethren.{G80}

And{G2532} in{G1722} these{G3778} days{G2250} Peter{G4074} stood up{G450} in{G1722} the midst{G3319} of the brethren,{G3101} and{G5037} said{G2036} (and{G5037} there was{G2258} a{G846} multitude of persons [gathered] together,{G1909} about{G5613} {G846} a hundred{G1540} and twenty),{G1501}

{G435} Brethren,{G80} it was needful{G1163} that the{G3778} Scripture{G1124} should be fulfilled,{G4137} which{G3739} the{G4151} Holy{G40} Spirit{G4151} spake before{G4277} by{G1223} the mouth{G4750} of David{G1138} concerning{G4012} Judas,{G2455} who was{G1096} guide{G3595} to them that took{G4815} Jesus.{G2424}

For{G3754} he{G2674} was{G2258} numbered{G2674} among{G4862} us,{G2254} and{G2532} received{G2975} his portion{G2819} in this{G3778} ministry.{G1248}

(Now{G3767} this man{G3778} obtained{G2932} a field{G5564} with{G1537} the reward{G3408} of his iniquity;{G93} and{G2532} falling{G1096} headlong,{G4248} he burst asunder{G2997} in the midst,{G3319} and{G2532} all{G3956} his{G846} bowels{G4698} gushed out.{G1632}

And{G2532} it became{G1096} known{G1110} to all{G3956} the dwellers{G2730} at Jerusalem;{G2419} insomuch{G5620} that{G1565} in their{G846} {G2398} language{G1258} that{G5124} field{G5564} was called{G2564} Akeldama,{G184} that{G5124} is, The field{G5564} of blood.){G129}

For{G1063} it is written{G1125} in{G1722} the book{G976} of Psalms,{G5568} Let{G1096} his{G846} habitation{G1886} be{G1096} made desolate,{G2048} And{G2532} let{G2077} no{G3361} man dwell{G2730} therein:{G846} and,{G2532} His{G846} office{G1984} let{G2983} another{G2087} take.{G2983}

Of the men{G435} therefore{G3767} that{G3588} have companied{G4905} with us{G2254} {G1722} all{G3956} the time{G5550} {G1722} that{G3739} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} went in{G1525} and{G2532} went out{G1831} among{G1909} us,{G2248}

beginning{G756} from{G575} the baptism{G908} of John,{G2491} unto{G2193} the{G3739} day{G2250} that{G3739} he was received up{G353} from{G575} us,{G2257} of these{G5130} must{G1096} one{G1520} become{G1096} a witness{G3144} with{G4862} us{G2254} of his{G846} resurrection.{G386}

And{G2532} they put forward{G2476} two,{G1417} Joseph{G2501} called{G2564} Barsabbas,{G923} who{G3739} was surnamed{G1941} Justus,{G2459} and{G2532} Matthias.{G3159}

And{G2532} they prayed,{G4336} and{G2532} said,{G2036} Thou,{G4771} Lord,{G2962} who knowest the hearts{G2589} of all{G3956} men, show{G322} of{G1537} these{G5130} two{G1417} the{G3739} one{G1520} whom thou hast chosen,{G1586}

to take{G2983} the place{G2819} in this{G3778} ministry{G1248} and{G2532} apostleship{G651} from{G1537} which{G3739} Judas{G2455} fell{G3845} away, that he might go{G4198} to{G1519} his own{G2398} place.{G5117}

And{G2532} they gave{G1325} {G846} lots{G2819} for them; and{G2532} the lot{G2819} fell{G4098} upon{G1909} Matthias;{G3159} and{G2532} he was numbered{G4785} with{G3326} the eleven{G1733} apostles.{G652}
