1:1 The former 3303 4413 treatise 3056 have I made 4160 5668, O 5599 Theophilus 2321, of 4012 all 3956 that 3739 Jesus 2424 began 756 5662 both 5037 to do 4160 5721 and 2532 teach 1321 5721,

1:2 Until 891 the day 2250 in which 3739 he was taken up 353 5681, after that he through 1223 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 had given commandments 1781 5674 unto the apostles 652 whom 3739 he had chosen 1586 5668:

1:3 To whom 3739 also 2532 he shewed 3936 5656 himself 1438 alive 2198 5723 after 3326 his 846 passion 3958 5629 by 1722 many 4183 infallible proofs 5039, being seen 3700 5740 of them 846 1223 forty 5062 days 2250, and 2532 speaking 3004 5723 of the things pertaining 4012 to the kingdom 932 of God 2316:

1:4 And 2532, being assembled together 4871 5740 with 846 [them], commanded 3853 5656 them 846 that they should 5563 0 not 3361 depart 5563 5745 from 575 Jerusalem 2414, but 235 wait 4037 5721 for the promise 1860 of the Father 3962, which 3739, [saith he], ye have heard 191 5656 of me 3450.(being…: or, eating together)

1:5 For 3754 John 2491 truly 3303 baptized 907 5656 with water 5204; but 1161 ye 5210 shall be baptized 907 5701 with 1722 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 not 3756 many 3326 4183 days 2250 hence 5025.

1:6 When 3303 they therefore 3767 were come together 4905 5631, they asked 1905 5707 of him 846, saying 3004 5723, Lord 2962, 1487 wilt thou 600 0 at 1722 this 5129 time 5550 restore again 600 5719 the kingdom 932 to Israel 2474?

1:7 And 1161 he said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846, It is 2076 5748 not 3756 for you 5216 to know 1097 5629 the times 5550 or 2228 the seasons 2540, which 3739 the Father 3962 hath put 5087 5639 in 1722 his own 2398 power 1849.

1:8 But 235 ye shall receive 2983 5695 power 1411, after that the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 is come 1904 5631 upon 1909 you 5209: and 2532 ye shall be 2071 5704 witnesses 3144 unto me 3427 both 5037 in 1722 Jerusalem 2419, and 2532 in 1722 all 3956 Judaea 2449, and 2532 in Samaria 4540, and 2532 unto 2193 the uttermost part 2078 of the earth 1093.(power…: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you)

1:9 And 2532 when he had spoken 2036 5631 these things 5023, while they 846 beheld 991 5723, he was taken up 1869 5681; and 2532 a cloud 3507 received 5274 5627 him 846 out of 575 their 846 sight 3788.

1:10 And 2532 while 5613 they looked stedfastly 2258 5713 816 5723 toward 1519 heaven 3772 as he 846 went up 4198 5740, 2532 behold 2400 5628, two 1417 men 435 stood by 3936 5715 them 846 in 1722 white 3022 apparel 2066;

1:11 Which 3739 also 2532 said 2036 5627, Ye men 435 of Galilee 1057, why 5101 stand ye 2476 5758 gazing up 1689 5723 into 1519 heaven 3772? this same 3778 Jesus 2424, which 3588 is taken up 353 5685 from 575 you 5216 into 1519 heaven 3772, shall 2064 0 so 3779 come 2064 5695 in like manner as 3739 5158 ye have seen 2300 5662 him 846 go 4198 5740 into 1519 heaven 3772.

1:12 Then 5119 returned they 5290 5656 unto 1519 Jerusalem 2419 from 575 the mount 3735 called 2564 5746 Olivet 1638, which 3739 is 2076 5748 from 1451 Jerusalem 2419 a sabbath 4521 day's journey 2192 5723 3598.

1:13 And 2532 when 3753 they were come in 1525 5627, they went up 305 5627 into 1519 an upper room 5253, where 3757 abode 2258 5713 2650 5723 both 5037 Peter 4074, and 2532 James 2385, and 2532 John 2491, and 2532 Andrew 406, Philip 5376, and 2532 Thomas 2381, Bartholomew 918, and 2532 Matthew 3156, James 2385 [the son] of Alphaeus 256, and 2532 Simon 4613 Zelotes 2208, and 2532 Judas 2455 [the brother] of James 2385.

1:14 These 3778 all 3956 continued 2258 5713 4342 5723 with one accord 3661 in prayer 4335 and 2532 supplication 1162, with 4862 the women 1135, and 2532 Mary 3137 the mother 3384 of Jesus 2424, and 2532 with 4862 his 846 brethren 80.

1:15 And 2532 in 1722 those 5025 days 2250 Peter 4074 stood up 450 5631 in 1722 the midst 3319 of the disciples 3101, and said 2036 5627, 5037 (the number 3793 of names 3686 together 1909 846 were 2258 5713 about 5613 an hundred 1540 and twenty 1501,)

1:16 Men 435 [and] brethren 80, this 5026 scripture 1124 must 1163 5713 needs have been fulfilled 4137 5683, which 3739 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 by 1223 the mouth 4750 of David 1138 spake before 4277 5627 concerning 4012 Judas 2455, which 3588 was 1096 5637 guide 3595 to them that took 4815 5631 Jesus 2424.

1:17 For 3754 he was 2258 5713 numbered 2674 5772 with 4862 us 2254, and 2532 had obtained 2975 5627 part 2819 of this 5026 ministry 1248.

1:18 Now 3303 3767 this man 3778 purchased 2932 5662 a field 5564 with 1537 the reward 3408 of iniquity 93; and 2532 falling 1096 5637 headlong 4248, he burst asunder 2997 5656 in the midst 3319, and 2532 all 3956 his 846 bowels 4698 gushed out 1632 5681.

1:19 And 2532 it was 1096 5633 known 1110 unto all 3956 the dwellers 2730 5723 at Jerusalem 2419; insomuch as 5620 that 1565 field 5564 is called 2564 5683 in their 846 proper 2398 tongue 1258, Aceldama 184, that is to say 5123 5748, The field 5564 of blood 129.

1:20 For 1063 it is written 1125 5769 in 1722 the book 976 of Psalms 5568, Let 1096 0 his 846 habitation 1886 be 1096 5676 desolate 2048, and 2532 let 2077 5749 no man 3361 dwell 2730 5723 therein 1722 846: and 2532 his 846 bishoprick 1984 let 2983 0 another 2087 take 2983 5630.(bishoprick: or, office, or, charge)

1:21 Wherefore 3767 of these 5130 men 435 which have companied 4905 5631 with us 2254 all 3956 the time 5550 that 1722 3739 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 went 1831 0 in 1525 5627 and 2532 out 1831 5627 among 1909 us 2248,

1:22 Beginning 756 5671 from 575 the baptism 908 of John 2491, unto 2193 that same day 2250 that 3739 he was taken up 353 5681 from 575 us 2257, must 1163 5748 one 1520 be ordained 1096 5635 to be a witness 3144 with 4862 us 2254 of his 846 resurrection 386.

1:23 And 2532 they appointed 2476 5627 two 1417, Joseph 2501 called 2564 5746 Barsabas 923, who 3739 was surnamed 1941 5681 Justus 2459, and 2532 Matthias 3159.

1:24 And 2532 they prayed 4336 5666, and said 2036 5627, Thou 4771, Lord 2962, which knowest the hearts 2589 of all 3956 [men], shew 322 5657 whether 3739 1520 of 1537 these 5130 two 1417 thou hast chosen 1586 5668,

1:25 That he may take 2983 5629 part 2819 of this 5026 ministry 1248 and 2532 apostleship 651, from 1537 which 3739 Judas 2455 by transgression fell 3845 5627, that he might go 4198 5677 to 1519 his own 2398 place 5117.

1:26 And 2532 they gave forth 1325 5656 their 846 lots 2819; and 2532 the lot 2819 fell 4098 5627 upon 1909 Matthias 3159; and 2532 he was numbered 4785 5681 with 3326 the eleven 1733 apostles 652.
