NLT | Greek NT | Matchup | Interlinear | Reverse-Interlinear

1:1 In my first book * I told you , Theophilus , about everything Jesus began to do and teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven after giving his chosen apostles further instructions through the Holy Spirit . 3 During the forty days after he suffered and died , he appeared to the apostles from time to time , and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive . And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God . 4 Once when he was eating with them , he commanded them , “ Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised , as I told you before . 5 John baptized with * water , but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit . ” 6 So when the apostles were with Jesus , they kept asking him , “ Lord , has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom ? ” 7 He replied , “ The Father alone has the authority to set those dates and times , and they are not for you to know . 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you . And you will be my witnesses , telling people about me everywhere — in Jerusalem , throughout Judea , in Samaria , and to the ends of the earth . ” 9 After saying this , he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching , and they could no longer see him . 10 As they strained to see him rising into heaven , two white-robed men suddenly stood among them . 11 “ Men of Galilee , ” they said , “ why are you standing here staring into heaven ? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven , but someday he will return from heaven in the same way you saw him go ! ” 12 Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives , a distance of half a mile . * 13 When they arrived , they went to the upstairs room of the house where they were staying . Here are the names of those who were present : Peter , John , James , Andrew , Philip , Thomas , Bartholomew , Matthew , James ( son of Alphaeus ) , Simon ( the Zealot ) , and Judas ( son of James ) . 14 They all met together and were constantly united in prayer , along with Mary the mother of Jesus , several other women , and the brothers of Jesus . 15 During this time , when about 120 believers * were together in one place , Peter stood up and addressed them . 16 “ Brothers , ” he said , “ the Scriptures had to be fulfilled concerning Judas , who guided those who arrested Jesus . This was predicted long ago by the Holy Spirit , speaking through King David . 17 Judas was one of us and shared in the ministry with us . ” 18 ( Judas had bought a field with the money he received for his treachery . Falling headfirst there , his body split open , spilling out all his intestines . 19 The news of his death spread to all the people of Jerusalem , and they gave the place the Aramaic name Akeldama , which means “ Field of Blood . ” ) 20 Peter continued , “ This was written in the book of Psalms , where it says , ‘ Let his home become desolate , with no one living in it . ’ It also says , ‘ Let someone else take his position . ’ * 21 “ So now we must choose a replacement for Judas from among the men who were with us the entire time we were traveling with the Lord Jesus — 22 from the time he was baptized by John until the day he was taken from us . Whoever is chosen will join us as a witness of Jesus' resurrection . ” 23 So they nominated two men : Joseph called Barsabbas ( also known as Justus ) and Matthias . 24 Then they all prayed , “ O Lord , you know every heart . Show us which of these men you have chosen 25 as an apostle to replace Judas in this ministry , for he has deserted us and gone where he belongs . ” 26 Then they cast lots , and Matthias was selected to become an apostle with the other eleven .

1 Τὸν μὲν πρῶτον λόγον ἐποιησάμην περὶ πάντων , ὦ Θεόφιλε , ὧν ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς ποιεῖν τε καὶ διδάσκειν 2 ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας ἐντειλάμενος τοῖς ἀποστόλοις διὰ πνεύματος ἁγίου οὓς ἐξελέξατο ἀνελήμφθη . 3 οἷς καὶ παρέστησεν ἑαυτὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τὸ παθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις , δι᾽ ἡμερῶν τεσσεράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς · καὶ λέγων τὰ περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ . 4 καὶ συναλιζόμενος , παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς , Ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων μὴ χωρίζεσθαι ἀλλὰ περιμένειν τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πατρός , ἣν ἠκούσατέ μου · 5 ὅτι Ἰωάνης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν ὕδατι , ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐν πνεύματι βαπτισθήσεσθε ἁγίῳ οὐ μετὰ πολλὰς ταύτας ἡμέρας . 6 οἱ μὲν οὖν συνελθόντες , ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες , Κύριε , εἰ ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ τούτῳ ἀποκαθιστάνεις τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Ἰσραήλ ; 7 εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς , Οὐχ ὑμῶν ἐστὶν γνῶναι , χρόνους ἢ καιροὺς οὓς ὁ πατὴρ ἔθετο ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ · 8 ἀλλὰ λήμψεσθε δύναμιν ἐπελθόντος τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς . καὶ ἔσεσθέ μου μάρτυρες --- ἔν τε Ἰερουσαλήμ , καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ , καὶ Σαμαρείᾳ , καὶ ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς . 9 καὶ ταῦτα εἰπών , βλεπόντων αὐτῶν , ἐπήρθη καὶ νεφέλη ὑπέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν . 10 καὶ ὡς ἀτενίζοντες ἦσαν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν πορευομένου αὐτοῦ , καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο παρειστήκεισαν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐσθήσεσι λευκαῖς . 11 οἳ καὶ εἶπαν , ̓Άνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι , τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν ; οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθεὶς ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν , οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὃν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτὸν πορευόμενον εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν . 12 τότε ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ ̓Όρους τοῦ καλουμένου Ἐλαιῶνος , ὅ ἐστιν ἐγγὺς Ἰερουσαλήμ σαββάτου ἔχον ὁδόν . 13 καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθον , εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον ἀνέβησαν οὗ ἦσαν καταμένοντες · ὅ τε Πέτρος , καὶ Ἰωάνης , καὶ Ἰάκωβος , καὶ Ἀνδρέας , Φίλιππος , καὶ Θωμᾶς , Βαρθολομαῖος , καὶ Μαθθαῖος , Ἰάκωβος ( Ἁλφαίου ) , καὶ Σίμων ( ὁ Ζηλωτής ) , καὶ Ἰούδας ( Ἰακώβου . ) 14 οὗτοι πάντες ἦσαν προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν τῇ προσευχῇ , σὺν γυναιξίν , καὶ Μαριὰμ τῇ μητρὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ , καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ . 15 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις , ἀναστὰς Πέτρος ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν εἶπεν , ἦν τε ὄχλος ὀνομάτων ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ὡς ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι · 16 ̓Άνδρες ἀδελφοί , ἔδει πληρωθῆναι τὴν γραφήν , ἣν προεῖπε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον , διὰ στόματος Δαυεὶδ περὶ Ἰούδα , τοῦ γενομένου ὁδηγοῦ τοῖς συλλαβοῦσιν Ἰησοῦν · 17 ὅτι κατηριθμημένος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν καὶ ἔλαχεν τὸν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης . 18 ( οὗτος μὲν οὖν ἐκτήσατο χωρίον ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας . καὶ πρηνὴς γενόμενος , ἐλάκησεν μέσος , καὶ ἐξεχύθη πάντα τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ . 19 καὶ γνωστὸν ἐγένετο πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἰερουσαλήμ , ὥστε κληθῆναι τὸ χωρίον ἐκεῖνο τῇ διαλέκτῳ αὐτῶν Ἁκελδαμάχ , τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν Χωρίον Αἵματος . ) 20 γέγραπται γὰρ ἐν βίβλῳ Ψαλμῶν , Γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος , καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ . καί , Τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λαβέτω ἕτερος . 21 δεῖ οὖν τῶν συνελθόντων ἡμῖν ἀνδρῶν ἐν παντὶ χρόνῳ ᾧ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς ὁ κύριος Ἰησοῦς -- 22 ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τοῦ βαπτίσματος Ἰωάνου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνελήμφθη ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν · μάρτυρα τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ σὺν ἡμῖν γενέσθαι ἕνα τούτων . 23 καὶ ἔστησαν δύο · Ἰωσὴφ τὸν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν ( ὃς ἐπεκλήθη Ἰοῦστος ) καὶ Μαθθίαν . 24 καὶ προσευξάμενοι εἶπαν , Σὺ κύριε , καρδιογνῶστα πάντων . ἀνάδειξον ὃν ἐξελέξω ἐκ τούτων τῶν δύο ἕνα 25 λαβεῖν τὸν τόπον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης καὶ ἀποστολῆς ἀφ᾽ ἧς παρέβη Ἰούδας , πορευθῆναι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν ἴδιον . 26 καὶ ἔδωκαν κλήρους αὐτοῖς , καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος ἐπὶ Μαθθίαν καὶ συνκατεψηφίσθη μετὰ τῶν ἕνδεκα ἀποστόλων .
