I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 until the day having given orders to the apostles through [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen He was taken up.
until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
3 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.
to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God;
4 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 indeed baptized with water, you yourselves however with [the] Spirit will be baptized Holy not after many these days.
For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
6 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?
They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
7 He said then to them; Not yours it is to know times or seasons which the Father put in place by His own authority,
And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
8 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.
but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
9 And these things having said when are looking they He was taken up and a cloud hid Him from the eyes of them.
And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 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*)
And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 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.
who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from [the] mount which is being called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s holding journey.

And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where 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 Jude [the brother] of James.
14 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.
These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 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 —
And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] about a hundred and twenty, )
16 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;
Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;
17 for numbered he was (among *N(k)O*) us and was allotted the share of the ministry this.
for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
18 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,
(This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 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.
And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.)
20 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.’
For it is written in [the] book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.
21 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,
It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
22 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.

25 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.
to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.
26 And they gave lots (to them *N(k)O*) and fell the lot on Matthias and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
