Acts 1
1. The former <4413> treatise <3056> have I made <4160>, O
Theophilus <2321>, of all <3956> that Jesus <2424> began <756>
both <5037> to do <4160> and teach <1321>,
2 Until <891> the day <2250> in which <3739> he was taken
<353> up, after that he through <1223> the Holy <40> Ghost
<4151> had given commandments <1781> unto the apostles <652>
whom <3739> he had chosen <1586>:
3 To whom <3739> also <2532> he shewed <3936> himself <1438>
alive <2198> after <3326> his passion <3958> by many <4183>
infallible proofs <5039>, being seen <3700> of them forty <5062>
days <2250>, and speaking <3004> of the things pertaining <4012>
to the kingdom <932> of God <2316>:
4 And, being assembled <4871> together <4811> with [them],
commanded <3853> them that they should not depart <5562> from
Jerusalem <2414>, but wait <4037> for the promise <1860> of the
Father <3962>, which <3739>, [saith he], ye have heard <191> of
me.
5 For John <2491> truly <3303> baptized <907> with water
<5204>; but ye shall be baptized <907> with the Holy <40> Ghost
<4151> not many <4183> days <2250> hence <5025>.
6. When they therefore <3767> were come <4905> together <4905>,
they asked <1905> of him, saying <3004>, Lord <2962>, wilt thou
at <1722> this <5129> time <5550> restore <600> again <600> the
kingdom <932> to Israel <2474>?
7 And he said <2036> unto them, It is not for you to know
<1097> the times <5550> or <2228> the seasons <2540>, which
<3739> the Father <3962> hath put <5087> in his own <2398> power
<1849>.
8 But ye shall receive <2983> power <1411>, after that the
Holy <40> Ghost <4151> is come <1904> upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses <3144> unto me both <5037> in Jerusalem <2419>, and in
all <3956> Judaea <2449>, and in Samaria <4540>, and unto the
uttermost <2078> part of the earth <1093>.
9 And when he had spoken <2036> these <5023> things, while
they beheld <991>, he was taken <1869> up; and a cloud <3507>
received <5274> him out of their sight <3788>.
10 And while <5613> they looked <816> stedfastly <816> toward
<1519> heaven <3772> as he went <4198> up, behold <2400>, two
<1417> men <435> stood <2936> by them in white <3022> apparel
<2066>;
11 Which <3739> also <2532> said <2036>, Ye men <435> of
Galilee <1056>, why <5101> stand <2476> ye gazing <1689> up into
<1519> heaven <3772>? this <3778> same <3778> Jesus <2424>,
which <3588> is taken <353> up from you into <1519> heaven
<3772>, shall so <3779> come <2064> in like <3779> manner <5158>
as ye have seen <2300> him go <4198> into <1519> heaven <3772>.
12. Then <5119> returned <5290> they unto Jerusalem <2419> from
the mount <3735> called <2564> Olivet <1638>, which <3739> is
from Jerusalem <2419> a sabbath <4521> day's journey <3598>.
13 And when <3753> they were come <1525> in, they went <305>
up into <1519> an upper <5253> room <5253>, where <3757> abode
<2650> both <5037> Peter <4074>, and James <2385>, and John
<2491>, and Andrew <406>, Philip <5376>, and Thomas <2381>,
Bartholomew <918>, and Matthew <3156>, James <2385> [the son] of
Alphaeus <256>, and Simon <4613> Zelotes <2208>, and Judas
<2455> [the brother] of James <2385>.
14 These <3778> all <3956> continued <4342> with one <3661>
accord <3661> in prayer <4335> and supplication <1162>, with the
women <1135>, and Mary <3137> the mother <3384> of Jesus <2424>,
and with his brethren <80>.
15. And in those <5025> days <2250> Peter <4074> stood <450> up
in the midst <3319> of the disciples <3101>, and said <2036>,
(the number <3793> of names <3686> together <846> were about
<5613> an hundred <1540> and twenty <1501>,)
16 Men <435> [and] brethren <80>, this <5026> scripture <1124>
must <1163> needs have been fulfilled <4137>, which <3739> the
Holy <40> Ghost <4151> by the mouth <4750> of David <1138> spake
<4277> before <4277> concerning <4012> Judas <2455>, which
<3588> was guide <3595> to them that took <4815> Jesus <2424>.
17 For he was numbered <2674> with us, and had obtained <2975>
part <2819> of this <5026> ministry <1248>.
18 Now <3767> this <3778> man purchased <2932> a field <5564>
with the reward <3408> of iniquity <93>; and falling <1096>
headlong <4248>, he burst <2997> asunder <2977> in the midst
<3319>, and all <3956> his bowels <4698> gushed <1632> out.
19 And it was known <1110> unto all <3956> the dwellers <2730>
at Jerusalem <2419>; insomuch <5620> as that field <5564> is
called <2564> in their proper <2398> tongue <1258>, Aceldama
<184>, that is to say, The field <5564> of blood <129>.
20 For it is written <1125> in the book <976> of Psalms <5568>,
Let his habitation <1886> be desolate <2048>, and let no <3361>
man dwell <2730> therein <846>: and his bishoprick <1984> let
another <2087> take <2983>.
21 Wherefore <3767> of these <5130> men which have companied
<4905> with us all <3956> the time <5550> that the Lord <2962>
Jesus <2424> went <1831> in and out among <1909> us,
22 Beginning <756> from the baptism <908> of John <2491>, unto
that same day <2250> that he was taken <353> up from us, must
<1163> one <1520> be ordained <1096> to be a witness <3144> with
us of his resurrection <386>.
23 And they appointed <2476> two <1417>, Joseph <2501> called
<2564> Barsabas <923>, who <3739> was surnamed <1941> Justus
<2459>, and Matthias <3159>.
24 And they prayed <4336>, and said <2036>, Thou, Lord <2962>,
which knowest <2589> the hearts <2589> of all <3956> [men], shew
<322> whether <1520> of these <5130> two <1417> thou hast chosen
<1586>,
25 That he may take <2983> part <2819> of this <5026> ministry
<1248> and apostleship <651>, from which <3739> Judas <2455> by
transgression <3845> fell, that he might go <4198> to his own
<2398> place <5117>.
26 And they gave <1325> forth their lots <2819>; and the lot
<2819> fell <4098> upon Matthias <3159>; and he was numbered
<4785> with the eleven <1733> apostles <652>.
Acts 2
1. And when <3588> the day <2250> of Pentecost <4005> was fully
<4845> come <4845>, they were all <537> with one <3661> accord
<3661> in one <848> place.
2 And suddenly <869> there came <1096> a sound <2279> from
heaven <3772> as of a rushing <5342> mighty <972> wind <4157>,
and it filled <4137> all <3650> the house <3624> where <3757>
they were sitting <2521>.
3 And there appeared <3700> unto them cloven <1266> tongues
<1100> like <5616> as of fire <4442>, and it sat <2523> upon
each <1538> of them.
4 And they were all <537> filled <4130> with the Holy <40>
Ghost <4151>, and began <756> to speak <2980> with other <2087>
tongues <1100>, as the Spirit <4151> gave <1325> them utterance
<669>.
5. And there were dwelling <2730> at <1722> Jerusalem <2419>
Jews <2453>, devout <2126> men <435>, out of every <3956> nation
<1484> under <5259> heaven <3772>.
6 Now <1161> when this <5026> was noised <5408> abroad <5456>,
the multitude <4128> came <4905> together <4905>, and were
confounded <4797>, because <3754> that every <1538> man <1520>
