2 until the day in which, having given command through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He chose out, He was taken up,
till the day in which He was taken up, after He had by the holy Spirit given instructions to the apostles whom He had chosen:

8 but you will receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit on you, and you will be witnesses for Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
But ye shall receive power from the holy Spirit coming upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
9 And having said these things—they beholding—He was taken up, and a cloud received Him up from their sight;

who said, Ye men of Galilee, why do ye stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in the manner ye have seen Him going into heaven.

15 And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said (also the multitude of the names at the same place was, as it were, one hundred and twenty),

16 “Men, brothers, it was necessary [for] this Writing to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,

18 (This one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst apart in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,

19 and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that this place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

20 For it has been written in [the] Scroll of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and let another take his oversight.
for it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let none dwell in it; and again, Let another take his office.)
21 It is necessary, therefore, of the men who went with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

22 beginning from the immersion of John, to the day in which He was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of His resurrection.”
from the baptism of John, till the day that He was taken up from us, should be joined with us as a witness of his resurrection.

25 to receive the share of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, fell, to go on to his proper place”;

26 and they gave their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
And they gave out their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the apostles.
