Acts 1

1The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

τον μεν πρωτον λογον εποιησαμην περι παντων, ω θεοφιλε, ων ηρξατο ο ιησους ποιειν τε και διδασκειν

2until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

αχρι ης ημερας εντειλαμενος τοις αποστολοις δια πνευματος αγιου ους εξελεξατο ανεληφθη·

3to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

οις και παρεστησεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθειν αυτον εν πολλοις τεκμηριοις, δι ημερων τεσσαρακοντα οπτανομενος αυτοις και λεγων τα περι της βασιλειας του θεου.

4And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, 'which,' He said, 'you have heard from Me;

και συναλιζομενος παρηγγειλεν αυτοις απο ιεροσολυμων μη χωριζεσθαι, αλλα περιμενειν την επαγγελιαν του πατρος ην ηκουσατε μου·

5for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.'

οτι ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι, υμεις δε βαπτισθησεσθε εν πνευματι αγιω ου μετα πολλας ταυτας ημερας.

6Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, 'Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?'

οι μεν ουν συνελθοντες επηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες· κυριε, ει εν τω χρονω τουτω αποκαθιστανεις την βασιλειαν τω ισραηλ;

7And He said to them, 'It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

ειπεν δε προς αυτους· ουχ υμων εστιν γνωναι χρονους η καιρους ους ο πατηρ εθετο εν τη ιδια εξουσια,

8But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.'

αλλα ληψεσθε δυναμιν επελθοντος του αγιου πνευματος εφ υμας, και εσεσθε μοι μαρτυρες εν τε ιερουσαλημ και εν παση τη ιουδαια και σαμαρεια και εως εσχατου της γης.

9Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

και ταυτα ειπων βλεποντων αυτων επηρθη, και νεφελη υπελαβεν αυτον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων.

10And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,

και ως ατενιζοντες ησαν εις τον ουρανον πορευομενου αυτου, και ιδου ανδρες δυο παρειστηκεισαν αυτοις εν εσθητι λευκη,

11who also said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.'

οι και ειπον· ανδρες γαλιλαιοι, τι εστηκατε εμβλεποντες εις τον ουρανον; ουτος ο ιησους ο αναληφθεις αφ υμων εις τον ουρανον, ουτως ελευσεται, ον τροπον εθεασασθε αυτον πορευομενον εις τον ουρανον.

12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.

τοτε υπεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ απο ορους του καλουμενου ελαιωνος, ο εστιν εγγυς ιερουσαλημ, σαββατου εχον οδον.

13And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James.

και οτε εισηλθον, ανεβησαν εις το υπερωον ου ησαν καταμενοντες, ο τε πετρος και ιακωβος και ιωαννης και ανδρεας, φιλιππος και θωμας, βαρθολομαιος και ματθαιος, ιακωβος αλφαιου και σιμων ο ζηλωτης και ιουδας ιακωβου.

14These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

ουτοι παντες ησαν προσκαρτερουντες ομοθυμαδον τη προσευχη και τη δεησει συν γυναιξιν και μαρια τη μητρι του ιησου και συν τοις αδελφοις αυτου.

15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said,

και εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις αναστας πετρος εν μεσω των μαθητων ειπεν· ην τε οχλος ονοματων επι το αυτο ως εκατον εικοσι·

16'Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus;

ανδρες αδελφοι, εδει πληρωθηναι την γραφην ταυτην ην προειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον δια στοματος δαυιδ περι ιουδα του γενομενου οδηγου τοις συλλαβουσιν τον ιησουν,

17for he was numbered with us and obtained apart in this ministry.'

οτι κατηριθμημενος ην συν ημιν και ελαχεν τον κληρον της διακονιας ταυτης.

18(Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out.

ουτος μεν ουν εκτησατο χωριον εκ μισθου της αδικιας, και πρηνης γενομενος ελακησεν μεσος, και εξεχυθη παντα τα σπλαγχνα αυτου·

19And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)

και γνωστον εγενετο πασιν τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ, ωστε κληθηναι το χωριον εκεινο τη ιδια διαλεκτω αυτων ακελδαμα, τουτεστιν χωριον αιματος.

20For it is written in the Book of Psalms: 'Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it'; and, 'Let another take his office.'

γεγραπται γαρ εν βιβλω ψαλμων· γενηθητω η επαυλις αυτου ερημος και μη εστω ο κατοικων εν αυτη· και· την επισκοπην αυτου λαβοι ετερος.

21'Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

δει ουν των συνελθοντων ημιν ανδρων εν παντι χρονω εν ω εισηλθεν και εξηλθεν εφ ημας ο κυριος ιησους,

22beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.'

αρξαμενος απο του βαπτισματος ιωαννου εως της ημερας ης ανεληφθη αφ ημων, μαρτυρα της αναστασεως αυτου γενεσθαι συν ημιν ενα τουτων.

23And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

και εστησαν δυο, ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον βαρσαββαν, ος επεκληθη ιουστος, και ματθιαν,

24And they prayed and said, 'You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen

και προσευξαμενοι ειπον· συ κυριε, καρδιογνωστα παντων, αναδειξον ον εξελεξω εκ τουτων των δυο ενα,

25to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.'

λαβειν τον κληρον της διακονιας ταυτης και αποστολης, εξ ης παρεβη ιουδας πορευθηναι εις τον τοπον τον ιδιον.

26And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

και εδωκαν κληρους αυτων, και επεσεν ο κληρος επι ματθιαν, και συγκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων.
