44_ACT_01_01 the former treatise have I made , O Theophilus , of all that Jesus began Both to do And teach ,
44_ACT_01_02 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 :
44_ACT_01_03 to whom also he showed 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 :
44_ACT_01_04 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 .
44_ACT_01_05 for John truly baptized with water ; but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost not Many days hence .
44_ACT_01_06 when they therefore were come together , they asked of him , saying , LORD , Wilt thou at this time Restore again the kingdom to Israel ?
44_ACT_01_07 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 .
44_ACT_01_08 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 .
44_ACT_01_09 And when he had spoken These things , while they beheld , he was taken up ; And A cloud received him out of their sight .
44_ACT_01_10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up , behold , two men stood by them in white apparel ;
44_ACT_01_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 .
44_ACT_01_12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet , which Is from Jerusalem A sabbath day's journey .
44_ACT_01_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 .
44_ACT_01_14 These all continued with one accord in prayer And supplication , with the women , And Mary the mother of Jesus , And with his brethren .
44_ACT_01_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 , ]
44_ACT_01_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 .
44_ACT_01_17 for he was numbered with us , And had obtained part of this ministry .
44_ACT_01_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 .
44_ACT_01_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 .
44_ACT_01_20 for it Is written in the book of psalms , let his habitation be desolate , And let no man dwell therein : And his bishopric let another take .
44_ACT_01_21 Wherefore of These men which have companied with us all the time that the LORD Jesus went in And out among us ,
44_ACT_01_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 .
44_ACT_01_23 And they appointed two , Joseph called Barsabas , who was surnamed Justus , And Matthias .
44_ACT_01_24 And they prayed , And said , thou , LORD , which knowest the hearts of all [ men ] , show whether of These two thou hast chosen ,
44_ACT_01_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 .
44_ACT_01_26 And they gave forth their lots ; And the lot fell upon Matthias ; And he was numbered with the eleven apostles .
