King James Version
In
my
first
book
, O Theophilus, I
wrote
about
all that Jesus began to do and to
teach,
The
former
treatise
have
I
made
, O Theophilus, of
all that Jesus began both
to do and teach,
until the day He was taken up to
heaven
, after giving
instructions
through the Holy Spirit
to
the apostles He had chosen .
Until the day in
which
he was taken up, after that
he
through the Holy Ghost
had
given
commandments
unto
the apostles whom
he had chosen :
After
His
suffering,
He presented
Himself to
them
with
many convincing
proofs that
He
was
alive.
He
appeared
to
them
over
a
span
of forty days and spoke
about
the kingdom of God .
To
whom
also
he shewed
himself alive
after
his
passion
by
many infallible
proofs ,
being
seen
of them
forty days ,
and speaking
of
the things
pertaining
to
the
kingdom of God :
And while
they
were
gathered
together, He
commanded them :
“Do
not leave
Jerusalem, but wait for the gift
the Father promised
, which you
have heard Me discuss
.
And ,
being
assembled
together 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 of
me.
For John baptized with water ,
but in
a
few
days
you
will
be baptized with the Holy Spirit
. ”
For John truly
baptized with water ;
but ye
shall
be baptized with the Holy Ghost
not
many
days
hence
.
So
when they came
together, they asked Him, “
Lord, will
You
at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? ”
When they therefore
were
come
together, they asked of
him, saying,
Lord, wilt
thou
at this time restore again
the kingdom to Israel?
Jesus
replied
, “
It is not for you to know times or seasons that
the Father has
fixed
by
His own authority
.
And
he
said
unto
them
, It is not for you to know the
times or the
seasons ,
which
the Father hath
put
in
his own power
.
But you
will
receive power when
the Holy Spirit
comes
upon you ,
and you
will
be My
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and Samaria, and to
the ends
of the earth. ”
But ye
shall
receive power ,
after
that
the Holy Ghost
is
come
upon you :
and ye
shall
be witnesses unto
me
both
in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea,
and in
Samaria, and unto
the uttermost
part
of the earth.
After
He had said
this
, they watched
as
He was taken up ,
and a cloud hid
Him from
their sight.
And
when
he had spoken
these
things
, while
they beheld,
he was taken up ;
and a cloud received
him out
of
their sight.
They were
looking
intently
into
the
sky
as He was
going
, when
suddenly
two men dressed
in
white
stood beside
them .
And
while
they looked
stedfastly
toward
heaven
as he went
up
, behold,
two men stood by
them in
white
apparel;
“
Men of Galilee, ”
they
said,
“
why do
you
stand here
looking
into the
sky
? This same Jesus, who
has
been
taken from you into heaven, will
come back
in the
same
way
you
have seen Him go into heaven. ”
Which
also
said,
Ye
men of Galilee, why stand ye
gazing
up
into heaven
? this same Jesus, which
is
taken up
from you into heaven, shall
so
come in like
manner
as
ye
have seen him go into heaven.
Then they
returned to
Jerusalem from the Mount of
Olives
, which is near
the
city,
a Sabbath day’s
journey away
.
Then returned they
unto
Jerusalem from the mount called
Olivet
, which is from
Jerusalem
a sabbath day's
journey.
When they arrived
, they went to
the
upper room where they
were
staying:
Peter and John, James
and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the
Zealot
, and Judas son
of James.
And
when they were
come
in
, they went up
into
an
upper room ,
where abode
both
Peter ,
and James,
and
John, and Andrew, Philip ,
and Thomas, Bartholomew ,
and Matthew, James the
son of Alphaeus, and
Simon Zelotes
, and Judas the
brother
of James.
With one accord they
all
continued
in prayer, along
with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers
.
These
all
continued
with one accord in prayer and
supplication
, with the women ,
and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren
.
In those days Peter stood up among
the brothers
( a
gathering
of about a
hundred and twenty )
and
said
,
And
in those days Peter stood up in
the midst
of
the
disciples,
and
said,
( the
number
of names
together
were
about an
hundred and twenty, )
“Brothers
, the
Scripture had
to
be
fulfilled which the Holy Spirit
foretold
through
the mouth of David concerning Judas, who
became
a
guide for
those
who
arrested
Jesus.
Men
and
brethren
, this
scripture must
needs
have
been
fulfilled ,
which the Holy Ghost
by
the mouth of David spake
before
concerning Judas, which
was
guide to
them
that
took
Jesus.
He was one
of
our
number
and shared
in
this ministry. ”
For
he was numbered
with
us,
and had
obtained
part
of
this ministry.
(
Now with the reward for
his
wickedness
Judas
bought
a
field
; there
he
fell
headlong
and burst open
in the middle
, and all his intestines
spilled
out.
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.
This
became
known to
all who
lived
in
Jerusalem ,
so
they
called
that field in their own
language
Akeldama
, that is, Field of Blood. )
And
it
was
known unto
all the
dwellers
at
Jerusalem ;
insomuch
as
that field is
called
in their proper
tongue
, Aceldama,
that is to
say
, The
field of blood.
“
For it is written in the book of Psalms :
‘May
his place
be deserted;
let there
be
no one
to
dwell in
it,’
and ,
‘May
another take his
position
. ’
For it is written in the book of Psalms ,
Let
his habitation
be desolate,
and
let no man
dwell therein:
and his
bishoprick
let
another take.
Therefore
it
is
necessary
to
choose
one
of the
men who
have accompanied
us the whole
time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Wherefore
of these
men which
have companied
with
us all
the time that
the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
beginning from John’s
baptism
until
the day Jesus
was taken up from us .
For
one
of
these
must become
a witness with us of His resurrection. ”
Beginning from the baptism
of
John,
unto
that
same
day that
he
was taken up from us ,
must one
be
ordained
to
be
a witness with us of his resurrection.
So
they proposed
two men:
Joseph called Barsabbas
(also
known
as
Justus )
and Matthias.
And
they appointed
two ,
Joseph called Barsabas,
who
was
surnamed
Justus ,
and Matthias.
And they prayed, “
Lord, You
know
everyone’s
heart.
Show
us
which of these two You
have
chosen
And they prayed, and
said,
Thou,
Lord, which knowest
the
hearts
of all
men,
shew
whether
of
these two thou
hast
chosen ,
to
take up
this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned
to
go to his rightful
place. ”
That
he
may
take part
of
this ministry and apostleship, from
which Judas by
transgression
fell,
that
he
might
go to his own
place.
Then
they cast
lots ,
and the lot fell to
Matthias; so
he was added
to
the eleven apostles.
And
they gave
forth
their
lots ;
and the lot fell upon
Matthias; and
he was numbered
with
the eleven apostles.
