| 1 | That first account I had made concerning all things, O lover of Yahweh, which Yahshua continued both to do and to teach, |
| 2 | until that day He was taken up, commanding the ambassadors whom He had chosen through the Holy Spirit, |
| 3 | to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, with many proofs, appearing to them over forty days and speaking of the things concerning the Kingdom of Yahweh, |
| 4 | and gathering together He instructed them not to depart from Jerusalem but to "await the promise of the Father which you have heard of Me, |
| 5 | because Iohannes immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit after not many days hence". |
| 6 | So then they who were gathered asked Him, saying "Prince, then at this time shall You restore the Kingdom to Israel?" |
| 7 | And He said to them: "It is not yours to know the times or the seasons which the Father has placed in His own authority. |
| 8 | Rather you shall receive power of the Holy Spirit coming upon you and you shall be My witnesses in both Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samareia, and unto the end of the earth." |
| 9 | And speaking these things, upon their watching He was lifted up and a cloud received Him out of their sight. |
| 10 | And as they were gazing into heaven upon His going, then behold, two men in white clothing stood by them. |
| 11 | And they said "Men, Galilaians, why do you stand looking into the heaven? This Yahshua, who is taken up from you into the heaven, thusly shall He come in the manner which you have beheld Him going into the heaven." |
| 12 | Then they returned into Jerusalem from the mountain called "of Olives", which is near to Jerusalem, being a Sabbath day's journey. |
| 13 | And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, both Petros and Iohannes, and Iakobos and Andreas, Philippos and Thomas, Bartholomaios and Maththaios, Iakobos son of Alphaios, and Simon the zealot and Iouda the brother of Iakobos. |
| 14 | All of these were persisting with one accord in prayer, with the women and Mariam the mother of Yahshua and His brethren. |
| 15 | And in those days, Petros standing in the midst of the brethren spoke, (and the multitude of names there in that place were about a hundred and twenty,) |
| 16 | "Men, brethren, it is necessary for the writing to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit before spoke through the mouth of David concerning Ioudas who had been a guide for those who seized Yahshua, |
| 17 | because he was counted among us and had obtained a share of this ministry. |
| 18 | So then he acquired a field from the wages of unrighteousness, and having been crashed face-down in the midst then all of his bowels had spilled out. |
| 19 | And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so as that field is called in their language 'Akeldamach', which is 'Field of Blood'. |
| 20 | For it is written in the Book of Psalms: 'His home must be desolate, and there must not be one dwelling in it' and 'Another must take his office'. |
| 21 | Therefore it is necessary, of the men gathering together with us during all the time in which Prince Yahshua came in and went out with us, |
| 22 | beginning from the immersing of Iohannes until the day when He was taken up from us, for one of them to become a witness with us of His resurrection." |
| 23 | And they stood up two: Ioseph called Barsabbas who was surnamed Ioustos, and Maththias. |
| 24 | Then praying they said: "You, Prince, Knower of all hearts, show which one of these two You have chosen |
| 25 | to receive the place of this ministry and ambassadorship from which Ioudas has transgressed to go to his own place." |
| 26 | And they gave lots to them and the lot fell upon Maththias and he was counted along with the eleven ambassadors. |
