1:1

Τον μεν πρωτον λογον εποιησαμην περι παντων ω Θεοφιλε ων ηρξατο ο Ιησους ποιειν τε και διδασκειν

The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

1:2

αχρι ης ημερας εντειλαμενος τοις αποστολοις δια Πνευματος Αγιου ους εξελεξατο ανελημφθη

until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

1:3

οις και παρεστησεν εαυτον ζωντα μετα το παθειν αυτον εν πολλοις τεκμηριοις δι ημερων τεσσερακοντα οπτανομενος αυτοις και λεγων τα περι της βασιλειας του Θεου

to whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:

1:4

Και συναλιζομενος παρηγγειλεν αυτοις απο Ιεροσολυμων μη χωριζεσθαι αλλα περιμενειν την επαγγελιαν του Πατρος Ην ηκουσατε μου

and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me:

1:5

οτι Ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισεν υδατι υμεις δε εν Πνευματι βαπτισθησεσθε Αγιω ου μετα πολλας ταυτας ημερας

for John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

1:6

Οι μεν ουν συνελθοντες ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες Κυριε ει εν τω χρονω τουτω αποκαθιστανεις την βασιλειαν τω Ισραηλ

They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

1:7

Ειπεν δε προς αυτους Ουχ υμων εστιν γνωναι χρονους η καιρους ους ο Πατηρ εθετο εν τη ιδια εξουσια

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within his own authority.

1:8

αλλα λημψεσθε δυναμιν επελθοντος του Αγιου Πνευματος εφ υμας και εσεσθε μου μαρτυρες εν τε Ιερουσαλημ και εν παση τη Ιουδαια και Σαμαρεια και εως εσχατου της γης

But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

1:9

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

And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

¹

1:10

και ως ατενιζοντες ησαν εις τον ουρανον πορευομενου αυτου και ιδου ανδρες δυο παρειστηκεισαν αυτοις εν εσθησεσι λευκαις

And while they were looking stedfastly into heaven as he went, behold two men stood by them in white apparel;

1:11

οι και ειπαν Ανδρες Γαλιλαιοι τι εστηκατε βλεποντες εις τον ουρανον ουτος ο Ιησους ο αναλημφθεις αφ υμων εις τον ουρανον ουτως ελευσεται ον τροπον εθεασασθε αυτον πορευομενον εις τον ουρανον

who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye looking into heaven? this Jesus, who was received up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld him going into heaven.

1:12

Τοτε υπεστρεψαν εις Ιερουσαλημ απο ορους του καλουμενου Ελαιωνος ο εστιν εγγυς Ιερουσαλημ σαββατου εχον οδον

Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey off.

1:13

και οτε εισηλθον εις το υπερωον ανεβησαν ου ησαν καταμενοντες ο τε Πετρος και Ιωαννης και Ιακωβος και Ανδρεας Φιλιππος και Θωμας Βαρθολομαιος και Μαθθαιος Ιακωβος Αλφαιου και Σιμων ο Ζηλωτης και Ιουδας Ιακωβου

And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding; both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphæus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

1:14

ουτοι παντες ησαν προσκαρτερουντες ομοθυμαδον τη προσευχη συν γυναιξιν και Μαριαμ τη μητρι του Ιησου και τοις αδελφοις αυτου

These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

1:15

Και εν ταις ημεραις ταυταις αναστας Πετρος εν μεσω των αδελφων ειπεν ην τε οχλος ονοματων επι το αυτο ωσει εκατον εικοσι

And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons gathered together, about a hundred and twenty),

1:16

Ανδρες αδελφοι εδει πληρωθηναι την γραφην ην προειπεν το Πνευμα το Αγιον δια στοματος Δαυιδ περι Ιουδα του γενομενου οδηγου τοις συλλαβουσιν Ιησουν

Brethren, it was needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.

1:17

οτι κατηριθμημενος ην εν ημιν και ελαχεν τον κληρον της διακονιας ταυτης

For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.

1:18

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

(Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

1:19

και γνωστον εγενετο πασι τοις κατοικουσιν Ιερουσαλημ ωστε κληθηναι το χωριον εκεινο τη ιδια διαλεκτω αυτων Ακελδαμαχ τουτ εστιν Χωριον αιματος

And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.)

1:20

Γεγραπται γαρ εν βιβλω Ψαλμων Γενηθητω η επαυλις αυτου ερημος και μη εστω ο κατοικων εν αυτη Και Την επισκοπην αυτου λαβετω ετερος

For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no man dwell therein: and, His office let another take.

1:21

Δει ουν των συνελθοντων ημιν ανδρων εν παντι χρονω ω εισηλθεν και εξηλθεν εφ ημας ο Κυριος Ιησους

Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,

1:22

αρξαμενος απο του βαπτισματος Ιωαννου εως της ημερας ης ανελημφθη αφ ημων μαρτυρα της αναστασεως αυτου συν ημιν γενεσθαι ενα τουτων

beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.

1:23

Και εστησαν δυο Ιωσηφ τον καλουμενον Βαρσαββαν ος επεκληθη Ιουστος και Μαθθιαν

And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

1:24

και προσευξαμενοι ειπαν Συ Κυριε καρδιογνωστα παντων αναδειξον ον εξελεξω εκ τουτων των δυο ενα

And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen,

1:25

λαβειν τον τοπον της διακονιας ταυτης και αποστολης αφ ης παρεβη Ιουδας πορευθηναι εις τον τοπον τον ιδιον

to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.

1:26

και εδωκαν κληρους αυτοις και επεσεν ο κληρος επι Μαθθιαν και συνκατεψηφισθη μετα των ενδεκα αποστολων

And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
