< Acts 1 >
1 Certainly, O Theophilus, I composed the first discourse about everything that Jesus began to do and to teach,
τον μεν πρωτον λογον εποιησαμην περι παντων ω θεοφιλε ων ηρξατο ο ιησουσ ποιειν τε και διδασκειν
2 instructing the Apostles, whom he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, even until the day on which he was taken up.
αχρι ησ ημερασ εντειλαμενοσ τοισ αποστολοισ δια πνευματοσ αγιου ουσ εξελεξατο ανεληφθη
3 He also presented himself alive to them, after his Passion, appearing to them throughout forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God with many elucidations.
οισ και παρεστησεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθειν αυτον εν πολλοισ τεκμηριοισ δι ημερων τεσσαρακοντα οπτανομενοσ αυτοισ και λεγων τα περι τησ βασιλειασ του θεου
4 And dining with them, he instructed them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but that they should wait for the Promise of the Father, “about which you have heard,” he said, “from my own mouth.
και συναλιζομενοσ παρηγγειλεν αυτοισ απο ιεροσολυμων μη χωριζεσθαι αλλα περιμενειν την επαγγελιαν του πατροσ ην ηκουσατε μου
5 For John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit, not many days from now.”
οτι ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεισ δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω ου μετα πολλασ ταυτασ ημερασ
6 Therefore, those who had assembled together questioned him, saying, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom of Israel?”
οι μεν ουν συνελθοντεσ επηρωτων αυτον λεγοντεσ κυριε ει εν τω χρονω τουτω αποκαθιστανεισ την βασιλειαν τω ισραηλ
7 But he said to them: “It is not yours to know the times or the moments, which the Father has set by his own authority.
ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ ουχ υμων εστιν γνωναι χρονουσ η καιρουσ ουσ ο πατηρ εθετο εν τη ιδια εξουσια
8 But you shall receive the power of the Holy Spirit, passing over you, and you shall be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”
αλλα ληψεσθε δυναμιν επελθοντοσ του αγιου πνευματοσ εφ υμασ και εσεσθε μοι μαρτυρεσ εν τε ιερουσαλημ και εν παση τη ιουδαια και σαμαρεια και εωσ εσχατου τησ γησ
9 And when he had said these things, while they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
και ταυτα ειπων βλεποντων αυτων επηρθη και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων
10 And while they were watching him going up to heaven, behold, two men stood near them in white vestments.
και ωσ ατενιζοντεσ ησαν εισ τον ουρανον πορευομενου αυτου και ιδου ανδρεσ δυο παρειστηκεισαν αυτοισ εν εσθητι λευκη
11 And they said: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall return in just the same way that you have seen him going up to heaven.”
οι και ειπον ανδρεσ γαλιλαιοι τι εστηκατε εμβλεποντεσ εισ τον ουρανον ουτοσ ο ιησουσ ο αναληφθεισ αφ υμων εισ τον ουρανον ουτωσ ελευσεται ον τροπον εθεασασθε αυτον πορευομενον εισ τον ουρανον
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain, which is called Olivet, which is next to Jerusalem, within a Sabbath day’s journey.
τοτε υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ απο ορουσ του καλουμενου ελαιωνοσ ο εστιν εγγυσ ιερουσαλημ σαββατου εχον οδον
13 And when they had entered into the cenacle, they ascended to the place where Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude of James, were staying.
και οτε εισηλθον ανεβησαν εισ το υπερωον ου ησαν καταμενοντεσ ο τε πετροσ και ιακωβοσ και ιωαννησ και ανδρεασ φιλιπποσ και θωμασ βαρθολομαιοσ και ματθαιοσ ιακωβοσ αλφαιου και σιμων ο ζηλωτησ και ιουδασ ιακωβου
14 All these were persevering with one accord in prayer with the women, and with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
ουτοι παντεσ ησαν προσκαρτερουντεσ ομοθυμαδον τη προσευχη και τη δεησει συν γυναιξιν και μαρια τη μητρι του ιησου και συν τοισ αδελφοισ αυτου
15 In those days, Peter, rising up in the midst of the brothers, said (now the crowd of men altogether was about one hundred and twenty):
και εν ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ αναστασ πετροσ εν μεσω των μαθητων ειπεν ην τε οχλοσ ονοματων επι το αυτο ωσ εκατον εικοσι
16 “Noble brothers, the Scripture must be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit predicted by the mouth of David about Judas, who was the leader of those who apprehended Jesus.
ανδρεσ αδελφοι εδει πληρωθηναι την γραφην ταυτην ην προειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον δια στοματοσ δαυιδ περι ιουδα του γενομενου οδηγου τοισ συλλαβουσιν τον ιησουν
17 He had been numbered among us, and he was chosen by lot for this ministry.
οτι κατηριθμημενοσ ην συν ημιν και ελαχεν τον κληρον τησ διακονιασ ταυτησ
18 And this man certainly possessed an estate from the wages of iniquity, and so, having been hanged, he burst open in the middle and all his internal organs poured out.
ουτοσ μεν ουν εκτησατο χωριον εκ μισθου τησ αδικιασ και πρηνησ γενομενοσ ελακησεν μεσοσ και εξεχυθη παντα τα σπλαγχνα αυτου
19 And this became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that this field was called in their language, Akeldama, that is, ‘Field of Blood.’
και γνωστον εγενετο πασιν τοισ κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ ωστε κληθηναι το χωριον εκεινο τη ιδια διαλεκτω αυτων ακελδαμα τουτ εστιν χωριον αιματοσ
20 For it has been written in the book of Psalms: ‘Let their dwelling place be desolate and may there be no one who dwells within it,’ and ‘Let another take his episcopate.’
γεγραπται γαρ εν βιβλω ψαλμων γενηθητω η επαυλισ αυτου ερημοσ και μη εστω ο κατοικων εν αυτη και την επισκοπην αυτου λαβοι ετεροσ
21 Therefore, it is necessary that, out of these men who have been assembling with us throughout the entire time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
δει ουν των συνελθοντων ημιν ανδρων εν παντι χρονω εν ω εισηλθεν και εξηλθεν εφ ημασ ο κυριοσ ιησουσ
22 beginning from the baptism of John, until the day when he was taken up from us, one of these be made a witness with us of his Resurrection.”
αρξαμενοσ απο του βαπτισματοσ ιωαννου εωσ τησ ημερασ ησ ανεληφθη αφ ημων μαρτυρα τησ αναστασεωσ αυτου γενεσθαι συν ημιν ενα τουτων
23 And they appointed two: Joseph, who was called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
και εστησαν δυο ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον βαρσαβαν οσ επεκληθη ιουστοσ και ματθιαν
24 And praying, they said: “May you, O Lord, who knows the heart of everyone, reveal which one of these two you have chosen,
και προσευξαμενοι ειπον συ κυριε καρδιογνωστα παντων αναδειξον ον εξελεξω εκ τουτων των δυο ενα
25 to take a place in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas prevaricated, so that he might go to his own place.”
λαβειν τον κληρον τησ διακονιασ ταυτησ και αποστολησ εξ ησ παρεβη ιουδασ πορευθηναι εισ τον τοπον τον ιδιον
26 And they cast lots concerning them, and the lot fell upon Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
και εδωκαν κληρουσ αυτων και επεσεν ο κληροσ επι ματθιαν και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων
