Acts 1
1 The indeed first account I composed concerning all the things, O Theophilus, of which began Jesus to do both and to teach
The first narrative, indeed, made I, concerning all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began both to do and teach, —
2 until the day having given orders to the apostles through [the] Spirit Holy whom He had chosen He was taken up.
Until the day when, having given command unto the apostles, whom through Holy Spirit 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.
Unto whom he also presented himself alive, after he had suffered, by many sure tokens, throughout forty days making himself visible unto them, and speaking the things concerning 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;
And being in company with them he charged them, from Jerusalem, not to absent themselves, but—To abide around the promise of the Father which ye have 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.
Because, John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, in Holy Spirit shall be immersed, —after not many of these 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, having come together, began to question him, saying—Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto 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,
He said unto them—It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put 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 shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and [in] all Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.
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, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.
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, while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments, —
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 stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon 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.
Then returned they into Jerusalem, from a mountain called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s journey.
13 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.
And, when they had entered, into the upper-story went they up, where remained behind—both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the zealot, and Judas the son 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 all were giving constant attention with one accord unto the prayer, with [certain] 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 these days, Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, —and there was a multitude of names, of one accord, 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 needful for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spake beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, —who became guide unto them who apprehended Jesus;
17 for numbered he was (among *N(k)O*) us and was allotted the share of the ministry this.
For that he had come to be reckoned among us and obtained the lot of this ministry.—
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 therefore had possessed himself of a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, —and falling headlong burst asunder in the midst, and forth gushed all his bowels;
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 became known unto all them who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that that field was called, in their language, Akeldama, 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 encampment become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein! And—his overseership, let a different man take!
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 needful then that, of the men who companied with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out over 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.
Beginning from the immersion by John until the day when he was taken up from us, that, a witness of his resurrection along with us, should one of these become.
23 And they put forward two, Joseph who is being called Barsabbas who was called Justus and Matthias.
And they appointed two, —Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And having prayed they said; You yourself Lord knower of the hearts of all, do show whom You have chosen of these two one
And, praying, they said—Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen, —of these two, one; —
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 take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went aside, to go his way unto 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 for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
