YLT
Young's Literal Translation
In
my
first
book
, O
Theophilus
, I wrote
about
all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
The
former
account
, indeed
, I made
concerning
all things,
O
Theophilus,
that Jesus began both
to do and to teach,
until
the day He
was
taken
up
to
heaven
, after
giving
instructions
through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had
chosen.
till
the day in
which
, having
given
command,
through the Holy Spirit ,
to the apostles whom
he did
choose
out,
he
was
taken
up,
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
did
present
himself
alive
after his suffering, in
many certain
proofs ,
through
forty days being
seen
by
them,
and speaking
the things
concerning
the
reign
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
, he commanded them not to
depart
from
Jerusalem, but to
wait for the promise
of
the Father, which ,
`saith
he,'
`Ye
did
hear
of
me ;
For
John baptized with water, but
in
a
few
days
you
will
be baptized with the Holy Spirit. ”
because
John ,
indeed,
baptized with water, and
ye
shall
be baptized with the Holy Spirit --
after
not
many
days
. '
So
when
they came
together, they
asked
Him, “
Lord, will
You
at this time restore the kingdom
to Israel? ”
They ,
therefore,
indeed,
having
come
together, were
questioning
him, saying,
`
Lord, dost
thou
at this time restore the reign
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 yours
to know times or seasons that the Father did
appoint
in
His own authority ;
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 at
the coming
of
the
Holy Spirit upon you, and ye
shall
be witnesses to
me
both
in Jerusalem, and in all Judea ,
and Samaria, and unto
the end
of the earth. '
After
He
had
said this,
they watched
as
He was taken up, and a cloud hid
Him from their sight .
And
these
things
having
said --
they beholding
--
he was taken up, and a cloud did
receive
him up
from their sight ;
They were looking intently
into
the sky
as
He
was
going, when
suddenly
two men dressed
in
white
stood beside
them .
and
as
they were looking stedfastly
to
the heaven
in
his
going on
, then,
lo,
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. ”
who
also
said,
`
Men, Galileans
, why do ye
stand gazing
into the heaven
? this Jesus who was
received
up
from you into the
heaven, shall
so
come in what
manner
ye
saw
him going
on
to
the
heaven. '
Then they returned
to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which
is near the
city
, a Sabbath
day’s
journey away.
Then did
they return
to Jerusalem from the mount that
is
called
of Olives, that
is near Jerusalem
, a sabbath'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 came
in
, they went up
to the upper room ,
where were abiding
both
Peter ,
and James,
and
John, and Andrew, Philip ,
and Thomas, Bartholomew ,
and Matthew, James ,
of Alphaeus, and
Simon the Zelotes
, and Judas ,
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
were
continuing
with one accord in prayer and
supplication
, with 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 these
days ,
Peter having
risen
up in
the midst
of
the
disciples,
said,
( the
multitude
also
of the
names
at
the
same
place
was,
as
it
were,
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
, brethren,
it
behoved
this
Writing
that
it
be fulfilled that
beforehand
the Holy Spirit spake
through the mouth of David ,
concerning Judas, who became guide to
those who took
Jesus ,
He was one
of
our
number
and shared
in this ministry.”
because
he was numbered
among
us,
and did
receive
the
share
in this ministration,
(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.
this
one,
indeed,
then,
purchased
a field out
of
the
reward
of
unrighteousness,
and falling
headlong,
burst asunder
in the midst
, and all his bowels
gushed
forth,
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
became known to all those
dwelling
in Jerusalem, insomuch
that that
place
is
called,
in their proper
dialect
, Aceldama,
that is, 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 hath
been
written in the book of Psalms: Let
his lodging-
place become
desolate,
and
let no one be
dwelling
in it, and his
oversight
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,
`
It behoveth,
therefore,
of the men who did
go
with
us during
all
the time in
which
the Lord Jesus went in and went
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
the day in
which
he
was received
up from us ,
one of these to
become with us a
witness
of his rising
again
. '
So
they proposed
two men:
Joseph called Barsabbas
(also
known
as
Justus )
and Matthias .
And
they set
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 having
prayed, they
said,
`Thou,
Lord, who
art
knowing
the
heart of
all,
shew
which one
thou
didst
choose
of these two
to take
up
this ministry
and apostleship, which Judas abandoned
to go to his rightful
place .”
to receive
the
share
of
this ministration
and apostleship, from
which Judas ,
by
transgression,
did
fall,
to go on
to his proper
place ;'
Then
they cast
lots, and the lot fell to
Matthias ;
so
he was added
to
the eleven apostles.
and
they gave
their
lots, and the lot fell upon
Matthias ,
and
he was numbered
with
the eleven apostles.
