Acts - Chapter: 1


1:1	The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
1:2	till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,
1:3	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.
1:4	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;
1:5	because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit -- after not many days.'
1:6	They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, `Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?'
1:7	and he said unto them, `It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;
1:8	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.'
1:9	And these things having said -- they beholding -- he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;
1:10	and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel,
1:11	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.'
1:12	Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey;
1:13	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;
1:14	these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
1:15	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,)
1:16	`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,
1:17	because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,
1:18	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,
1:19	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,
1:20	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.
1:21	`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,
1:22	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.'
1:23	And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
1:24	and having prayed, they said, `Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two
1:25	to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;'
1:26	and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.


1:1	In the former treatise (Deare frende Theophilus) I have written of all that Iesus beganne to do and teache
1:2	vntyll the daye in the which he was taken vp after that he thorowe the holy goost had geven commaundementes vnto the Apostles which he had chosen:
1:3	to whom also he shewed him selfe alyve after his passion by many tokens apperynge vnto them fourty dayes and speakynge of the kyngdome of god
1:4	and gaddered them togeder and commaunded the that they shuld not departe from Ierusalem: but to wayte for ye promys of the father whereof ye have herde of me.
1:5	For Iohn baptised wt water: but ye shalbe baptised with the holy goost and that with in this feawe dayes.
1:6	When they were come togeder they axed of him sayinge: Lorde wilt thou at this tyme restore agayne ye kyngdome to Israel?
1:7	And he sayde vnto them: It is not for you to knowe the tymes or the seasons which ye father hath put in his awne power:
1:8	but ye shall receave power of the holy goost which shall come on you. And ye shall be witnesses vnto me in Ierusalem and in all Iewrye and in Samary and even vnto the worldes ende.
1:9	And when he had spoken these thinges whyll they behelde he was take vp and a cloude receaved him vp out of their sight.
1:10	And while they looked stedfastly vp to heaven as he went beholde two men stode by them in white apparell
1:11	which also sayde: ye men of Galile why stonde ye gasinge vp into heave? This same Iesus which is taken vp fro you in to heaven shall so come even as ye haue sene him goo into heaven.
1:12	Then returned they vnto Ierusalem from mount olivete which is nye to Ierusalem coteyninge a Saboth dayes iorney.
1:13	And when they were come in they went vp into a parler where abode both Peter and Iames Iohn and Andrew Philip and Thomas Bartlemew and Mathew Iames the sonne of Alpheus and Simo Zelotes and Iudas Iames sonne.
1:14	These all cotinued with one acorde in prayer and supplicacion with the wemen and Mary the mother of Iesu and with his brethren.
1:15	And in those dayes Peter stode vp in the myddes of the disciples and sayde (the noumbre of names that were to gether were aboute an hondred and twenty)
1:16	Ye men and brethren this scripture must have nedes ben fulfilled which the holy goost thorow ye mouth of David spake before of Iudas which was gyde to them that tooke Iesus.
1:17	For he was noubred with vs and had obtayned fellouship in this ministracion.
1:18	And the same hath now possessed a plot of grounde with the rewarde of iniquite and when he was hanged brast a sondre in ye myddes and all his bowels gusshed oute.
1:19	And it is knowe vnto all the inhabiters of Ierusalem: in so moche that that felde is called in their mother tonge Acheldama that is to saye the bloud felde.
1:20	It is written in the boke of Psalmes: His habitacio be voyde and no man be dwellinge therin: and his bisshoprycke let another take.
1:21	Wherfore of these me which have copanyed with vs all ye tyme that the Lorde Iesus wet in and out amonge vs
1:22	begynninge at the baptyme of Iohn vnto that same daye that he was taken vp from vs must one be ordeyned to be are witnes with vs of his resurreccion.
1:23	And they appoynted two Ioseph called Barsabas (whose syr name was Iustus) and Mathias.
1:24	And they prayed sayinge: thou Lorde which knowest the hertes of all me shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen
1:25	that the one maye take the roume of this ministracion and apostleshippe from the which Iudas by transgression fell that he myght go to his awne place.
1:26	And they gave forthe their lottes and the lot fell on Mathias and he was counted with the eleven Apostles.


1:1	The first treatise (deare Theophilus) haue I made of all that Iesus beganne to do and to teache,
1:2	vntyll ye daye that he was taken vp, after that he (thorow the holy goost) had geuen commaundementes to to the Apostles, whom he had chosen:
1:3	to who also he shewed himself alyue after his passion, by many tokes, and appeared vnto them fourtye dayes longe, and spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God.
1:4	And whan he had gathered them together, he commaunded them that they shulde not departe from Ierusalem, but to wayte for the promyse of the father, wherof (sayde he) ye haue herde of me:
1:5	For Ihon baptysed with water, but ye shalbe baptysed wt ye holy goost, & that within this few dayes.
1:6	Now whan they were come together, they axed him, and sayde: LORDE, shalt thou at this tyme set vp the kyngdome of Israel agayne?
1:7	But he sayde vnto them: It belongeth not vnto you to knowe the tymes or seasons, which the father hath kepte in his awne power,
1:8	but ye shal receaue the power of ye holy goost, which shal come vpon you, and ye shalbe my witnesses at Ierusalem, and in all Iewrye and Samaria, and vnto the ende of the earth.
1:9	And whan he had spoken these thinges, whyle they behelde, he was taken vp, and a cloude receaued him from their sight.
1:10	And whyle they loked after him, as he wente in to heauen, beholde, there stode by them two men in whyte garmentes,
1:11	which also sayde: Ye men of Galile, Why stonde ye gasynge vp in to heauen? This Iesus which is take vp from you in to heauen shal come euen so as ye haue sene him go in to heauen.
1:12	Then turned they agayne from ye mount that is called Oliuete, which is nye to Ierusalem, and hath a Sabbath dayes iourney.
1:13	And whan they came in, they wente vp in to a parler, where abode Peter and Iames, Ihon and Andrew, Philippe and Thomas, Bartilmew and Mathew, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas the sonne of Iames.
1:14	These all contynued with one acorde in prayer and supplicacion, with the wemen and Mary the mother of Iesu and with his brethren.
1:15	And in those dayes Peter stode vp in the myddes amonge the disciples, and sayde: (The company of the names together, was aboute an hundreth and twentye.)
1:16	Ye men and brethren, this scripture must nedes be fulfylled, which ye holy goost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was a gyde of the that toke Iesus:
1:17	for he was nombred with vs, and had opteyned the felashippe of this mynistracion.
1:18	This same trulye possessed the felde for the rewarde of vnrighteousnes, and hanged himself, and brast asunder in the myddes, and all his bowels gusshed out.
1:19	And it is knowne vnto all the that dwell at Ierusalem, in so moch that the same felde is called in their mother tonge Acheldema, that is to saye, the bloude felde.
1:20	For it is wrytten in the boke of psalmes: His habitacion be voyde, and noman be dwellinge therin. And: His bisshoprike another take.
1:21	Wherfore amonge these men which haue bene gathered together with vs (all the tyme that the LORDE Iesus wete out and in amonge vs,
1:22	begynnynge from the baptyme of Ihon, vntyll ye daye that he was take vp from vs) must one be a wytnesse with vs of his resurreccion.
1:23	And they appoynted two (Ioseph called Barsabas, whose syrname was Iustus, and Mathias.)
1:24	makinge their prayer and sayenge: Thou LORDE, which knowest the hertes of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen,
1:25	that the one maye take the rowme of this mynistracion and Apostelshippe, from the which Iudas by transgression fell, that he might go awaye in to his awne place.
1:26	And they gaue forth the lottes ouer them, and the lot fell vpon Mathias. And he was counted with the eleuen Apostles.
