Acts 1
1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
τον μεν πρωτον λογον εποιησαμην περι παντων ω θεοφιλε ων ηρξατο ο ιησουσ ποιειν τε και διδασκειν
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. This was after he'd given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles.
αχρι ησ ημερασ εντειλαμενοσ τοισ αποστολοισ δια πνευματοσ αγιου ουσ εξελεξατο ανεληφθη
3 Over the course of forty days after the death he suffered, he showed himself to them, proving that he was alive with convincing evidence. He appeared to them, and told them about the kingdom of God.
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 While he was still with them he instructed them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. Wait to receive what the Father promised, just as you heard it from me.
και συναλιζομενοσ παρηγγειλεν αυτοισ απο ιεροσολυμων μη χωριζεσθαι αλλα περιμενειν την επαγγελιαν του πατροσ ην ηκουσατε μου
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
οτι ιωαννησ μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεισ δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω ου μετα πολλασ ταυτασ ημερασ
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
οι μεν ουν συνελθοντεσ επηρωτων αυτον λεγοντεσ κυριε ει εν τω χρονω τουτω αποκαθιστανεισ την βασιλειαν τω ισραηλ
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ ουχ υμων εστιν γνωναι χρονουσ η καιρουσ ουσ ο πατηρ εθετο εν τη ιδια εξουσια
8 “But you will be given power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest places on 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 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
και ταυτα ειπων βλεποντων αυτων επηρθη και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
και ωσ ατενιζοντεσ ησαν εισ τον ουρανον πορευομενου αυτου και ιδου ανδρεσ δυο παρειστηκεισαν αυτοισ εν εσθητι λευκη
11 “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?” they asked. “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into 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 the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
τοτε υπεστρεψαν εισ ιερουσαλημ απο ορουσ του καλουμενου ελαιωνοσ ο εστιν εγγυσ ιερουσαλημ σαββατου εχον οδον
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the upper room where they were staying: Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
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 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and 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 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
και εν ταισ ημεραισ ταυταισ αναστασ πετροσ εν μεσω των μαθητων ειπεν ην τε οχλοσ ονοματων επι το αυτο ωσ εκατον εικοσι
16 “My brothers and sisters,” he said, “The Scriptures, spoken by the Holy Spirit through David, had to be fulfilled regarding Judas, who guided those who arrested 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 was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
οτι κατηριθμημενοσ ην συν ημιν και ελαχεν τον κληρον τησ διακονιασ ταυτησ
18 (Judas had bought a field with his ill-gotten gains. There he fell down headfirst, and his body burst apart, spilling out all his intestines.
ουτοσ μεν ουν εκτησατο χωριον εκ μισθου τησ αδικιασ και πρηνησ γενομενοσ ελακησεν μεσοσ και εξεχυθη παντα τα σπλαγχνα αυτου
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “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 As it's written in the book of Psalms, “Let his home be abandoned, and no-one live there;” and “Let someone else take over his position.”
γεγραπται γαρ εν βιβλω ψαλμων γενηθητω η επαυλισ αυτου ερημοσ και μη εστω ο κατοικων εν αυτη και την επισκοπην αυτου λαβοι ετεροσ
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
δει ουν των συνελθοντων ημιν ανδρων εν παντι χρονω εν ω εισηλθεν και εξηλθεν εφ ημασ ο κυριοσ ιησουσ
22 from the time John was baptizing up until the day Jesus was taken up to heaven from us. One of these must be chosen to join together with us as we witness, giving evidence of Jesus' resurrection.”
αρξαμενοσ απο του βαπτισματοσ ιωαννου εωσ τησ ημερασ ησ ανεληφθη αφ ημων μαρτυρα τησ αναστασεωσ αυτου γενεσθαι συν ημιν ενα τουτων
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
και εστησαν δυο ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον βαρσαβαν οσ επεκληθη ιουστοσ και ματθιαν
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
και προσευξαμενοι ειπον συ κυριε καρδιογνωστα παντων αναδειξον ον εξελεξω εκ τουτων των δυο ενα
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
λαβειν τον κληρον τησ διακονιασ ταυτησ και αποστολησ εξ ησ παρεβη ιουδασ πορευθηναι εισ τον τοπον τον ιδιον
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
και εδωκαν κληρουσ αυτων και επεσεν ο κληροσ επι ματθιαν και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων
