Acts 1
Acts 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 Ghost had given
commandments unto the
apostles whom he had
chosen:
3 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: 4 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. 5 For John truly baptized with
water; but ye shall be
baptized with the
Holy Ghost 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 unto 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 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. 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
stedfastly toward heaven as
he went
up,
behold,
two men stood
by them in white apparel; 11 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. 12 Then returned
they unto Jerusalem from the
mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a
sabbath day's
journey.
13 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. 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
names together were about an
hundred and twenty,)
16 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. 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 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. 20 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.
21 Wherefore of
these men which have
companied with
us all the
time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 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. 23 And they
appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they
prayed, and
said,
Thou, Lord, which knowest the
hearts of
all men,
shew whether 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.
