Acts 1
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
The indeed first account I composed concerning all the things, O Theophilus, of which began Jesus to do both and to teach
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
until the day having given orders to the apostles through [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen He was taken up.
3 After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
to those also He presented Himself alive after the suffering of Him with many proofs, during days forty appearing to them and speaking the [things] concerning the kingdom of God.
4 And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
And being assembled together He instructed to them from Jerusalem not to depart, but to await the promise of the Father That which you heard of Me;
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
for John indeed baptized with water, you yourselves however with [the] Spirit will be baptized Holy not after many these days.
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Those indeed therefore having come together (were asking *N(k)O*) Him saying; Lord, if at time this are you restoring the kingdom to Israel?
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
He said then to them; Not yours it is to know times or seasons which the Father put in place by His own authority,
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
But you will receive power when was coming the Holy Spirit upon you and you will be (My *N(K)O*) witnesses in both Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and until [the] uttermost part of the earth.
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
And these things having said when are looking they He was taken up and a cloud hid Him from the eyes of them.
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
And as looking intently they were into the heaven as is going He, then behold men two had stood by them in (garments white, *N(k)O*)
11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
who also said; Men Galileans, why have you stood (looking *NK(o)*) into heaven? This Jesus who having been taken up from you into heaven thus will come in that manner you beheld Him going into heaven.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from [the] mount which is being called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s holding journey.
13 When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
And when they had entered into the upper room they went up where they were staying, both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas [son] of James.
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
These all were steadfastly continuing with one accord in prayer (and in supplication *K*) with the [the] women and Mary with the mother of Jesus and (with *ko*) the brothers of Him.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
And in days these having stood up Peter in [the] midst of the (brothers *N(K)O*) he said — was then [the] number of names together the same (about *N(k)O*) a hundred twenty —
16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
Men brothers, it was necessary for to have been fulfilled Scripture (this *k*) which (foretold *NK(o)*) the Spirit Holy through [the] mouth of David concerning Judas the [one] having become guide to those having arrested (*k*) Jesus;
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
for numbered he was (among *N(k)O*) us and was allotted the share of the ministry this.
18 (Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
This [man] indeed then acquired a field out of (the *k*) reward of unrighteousness, and headlong having fallen he burst open in [the] middle and gushed out all the intestines of him,
19 This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
And known it became to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that to call the field that [one] in [their] own language of them Akeldama That is Field of Blood.
20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
It has been written for in [the] book of Psalms: should become the homestead of him desolate and not should there be [one] who is dwelling in it,’ and The position of him (take *N(k)O*) another.’
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
It behooves therefore of those [who] were accompanying us men during all [the] time (in *k*) that he came in and he went out among us the Lord Jesus,
22 beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
having begun from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, a witness of the resurrection of Him with us to become one of these.
23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
And they put forward two, Joseph who is being called Barsabbas who was called Justus and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
And having prayed they said; You yourself Lord knower of the hearts of all, do show whom You have chosen of these two one
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
to take the (place *N(k)O*) of the ministry this and apostleship (from *N(k)O*) which turned aside Judas to go to the place [his] own.
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
And they gave lots (to them *N(k)O*) and fell the lot on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
