Chapter 1

¹ THE former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach,
² Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up.
³ To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
⁴ And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.
⁵ For John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence.
⁶ They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
⁷ But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:
⁸ But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.
⁹ And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.
¹⁰ And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.
¹¹ Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.
¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day's journey.
¹³ And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James.
¹⁴ All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
¹⁵ In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said: (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty:)
¹⁶ Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:
¹⁷ Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
¹⁸ And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.
¹⁹ And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.
²¹ Wherefore of these men who have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
²² Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
²³ And they appointed two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
²⁴ And praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
²⁵ To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place.
²⁶ And they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Chapter 1

¹ The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
² Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
³ To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
⁴ And being assembled with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard from me.
⁵ For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
⁶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
⁷ And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
⁸ But ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
⁹ And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
¹⁰ And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
¹¹ Who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
¹³ And when they had come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
¹⁴ These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
¹⁵ And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said (the number of the names together were about a hundred and twenty,)
¹⁶ Men, brethren, This scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
¹⁷ For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
¹⁸ Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
¹⁹ And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so that that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and, His bishopric let another take.
²¹ Wherefore, of these men who accompanied us, all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
²² Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
²³ And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
²⁴ And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen,
²⁵ That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
²⁶ And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Chapter 1

¹ first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
² the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
³ these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
⁴ assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Don't depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
⁵ John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
⁶ when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
⁷ said to them, "It isn't for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
⁸ you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."
⁹ he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
¹⁰ they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
¹¹ also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
¹² they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
¹³ they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
¹⁴ these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
¹⁵ these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
¹⁶ it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
¹⁷ he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
¹⁸ this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
¹⁹ became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Akeldama,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
²⁰ it is written in the book of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell therein;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
²¹ the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
²² from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
²³ put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
²⁴ prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
²⁵ take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place."
²⁶ drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Chapter 1

¹ I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
² until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
³ 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 with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.
⁵ For John indeed baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
⁶ They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
⁷ 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 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 having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
¹⁰ 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 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 called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.
¹³ 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 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 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 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 he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
¹⁸ (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 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 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 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 beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be a witness with us of his resurrection.
²³ And they appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
²⁴ And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen,
²⁵ 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 on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

¹ The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
² until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
³ To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
⁴ and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [said he], ye heard from me:
⁵ For John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
⁶ They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
⁷ And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority.
⁸ But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
⁹ And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
¹⁰ And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
¹¹ who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.
¹² Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey off.
¹³ And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; 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 with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
¹⁵ And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons [gathered] together, about a hundred and twenty),
¹⁶ Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
¹⁷ For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.
¹⁸ (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
¹⁹ And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)
²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no man dwell therein: and, His office let another take.
²¹ Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
²² beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.
²³ And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
²⁴ And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,
²⁵ to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.
²⁶ And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Chapter 1

¹ I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,
² Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
³ And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
⁴ And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
⁵ For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
⁶ So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
⁷ And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
⁸ But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
⁹ And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
¹⁰ And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
¹¹ And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
¹² Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
¹³ And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; 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 And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
¹⁵ And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
¹⁶ My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,
¹⁷ For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
¹⁸ (Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.
¹⁹ And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
²⁰ For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.
²¹ For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
²² Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.
²³ And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
²⁴ And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,
²⁵ To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.
²⁶ And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
