GNT

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 πατρὸς ἣν ἠκούσατέ μου·

5 ὅτι ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν ὕδατι, ὑμεῖς δὲ ἐν πνεύματι βαπτισθήσεσθε ἁγίῳ οὐ μετὰ πολλὰς ταύτας ἡμέρας.

6 οἱ μὲν οὗν συνελθόντες ἠρώτων αὐτὸν λέγοντες, κύριε, εἰ ἐν τῶ χρόνῳ τούτῳ ἀποκαθιστάνεις τὴν βασιλείαν τῶ ἰσραήλ;

7 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς, οὐχ ὑμῶν ἐστιν 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 ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ [ἐν] πάσῃ τῇ ἰουδαίᾳ καὶ σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.

9 καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν 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, ἄνδρες γαλιλαῖοι, τί ἑστήκατε [ἐμ]βλέποντες εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν; οὖτος ὁ ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθεὶς ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται ὃν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτὸν πορευόμενον εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.

12 τότε ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ ὄρους τοῦ καλουμένου ἐλαιῶνος, ὅ ἐστιν ἐγγὺς ἰερουσαλὴμ σαββάτου ἔχον ὁδόν.

13 καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθον, εἰς τὸ ὑπερῶον ἀνέβησαν οὖ ἦσαν καταμένοντες, ὅ τε πέτρος καὶ ἰωάννης καὶ ἰάκωβος καὶ ἀνδρέας, φίλιππος καὶ θωμᾶς, βαρθολομαῖος καὶ μαθθαῖος, ἰάκωβος ἁλφαίου καὶ σίμων ὁ ζηλωτὴς καὶ ἰούδας ἰακώβου.

14 οὖτοι πάντες ἦσαν προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν τῇ προσευχῇ σὺν γυναιξὶν 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 ὡσεὶ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι,

16 ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἔδει πληρωθῆναι τὴν γραφὴν ἣν προεῖπεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον διὰ στόματος δαυὶδ περὶ ἰούδα τοῦ γενομένου ὁδηγοῦ τοῖς συλλαβοῦσιν ἰησοῦν,

17 ὅτι κατηριθμημένος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν καὶ ἔλαχεν τὸν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης.

18 οὖτος μὲν οὗν 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 ἰδίᾳ 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 οὗν τῶν συνελθόντων ἡμῖν ἀνδρῶν ἐν παντὶ χρόνῳ ᾧ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς ὁ κύριος ἰησοῦς,

22 ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τοῦ βαπτίσματος ἰωάννου 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 συγκατεψηφίσθη μετὰ τῶν ἕνδεκα ἀποστόλων.

1  The³⁵⁸⁸ former⁴⁴¹³ treatise³⁰⁵⁶ have³³⁰³ I made,⁴¹⁶⁰ O⁵⁵⁹⁹ Theophilus,²³²¹ of⁴⁰¹² all³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁷³⁹ Jesus²⁴²⁴ began⁷⁵⁶ both⁵⁰³⁷ to do⁴¹⁶⁰ and²⁵³² teach,¹³²¹

2  Until⁸⁹¹ the day²²⁵⁰ in which³⁷³⁹ he was taken up,³⁵³ after that he through¹²²³ the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ had given commandments¹⁷⁸¹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ apostles⁶⁵² whom³⁷³⁹ he had chosen:¹⁵⁸⁶

3  To whom³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² he showed³⁹³⁶ himself¹⁴³⁸ alive²¹⁹⁸ after his⁸⁴⁶ passion³⁹⁵⁸ by¹⁷²² many⁴¹⁸³ infallible proofs,⁵⁰³⁹ being seen³⁷⁰⁰ of them⁸⁴⁶ forty⁵⁰⁶² days,²²⁵⁰ and²⁵³² speaking³⁰⁰⁴ of the things³⁵⁸⁸ pertaining⁴⁰¹² to the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² of God:²³¹⁶

4  And,²⁵³² being assembled together with⁴⁸⁷¹ them, commanded³⁸⁵³ them⁸⁴⁶ that they should not³³⁶¹ depart⁵⁵⁶³ from⁵⁷⁵ Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁴ but²³⁵ wait for⁴⁰³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ promise¹⁸⁶⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Father,³⁹⁶² which,³⁷³⁹ saith he, ye have heard¹⁹¹ of me.³⁴⁵⁰

5  For³⁷⁵⁴ John²⁴⁹¹ truly³³⁰³ baptized⁹⁰⁷ with water;⁵²⁰⁴ but¹¹⁶¹ ye⁵²¹⁰ shall be baptized⁹⁰⁷ with¹⁷²² the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ many⁴¹⁸³ days²²⁵⁰ hence.⁵⁰²⁵

6  When they^{3588 3303} therefore³⁷⁶⁷ were come together,⁴⁹⁰⁵ they asked¹⁹⁰⁵ of him,⁸⁴⁶ saying,³⁰⁰⁴ Lord,²⁹⁶² wilt thou¹⁴⁸⁷ at¹⁷²² this⁵¹²⁹ time⁵⁵⁵⁰ restore again⁶⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ kingdom⁹³² to Israel?²⁴⁷⁴

7  And¹¹⁶¹ he said²⁰³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ them,⁸⁴⁶ It is²⁰⁷⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ for you⁵²¹⁶ to know¹⁰⁹⁷ the times⁵⁵⁵⁰ or²²²⁸ the seasons,²⁵⁴⁰ which³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Father³⁹⁶² hath put⁵⁰⁸⁷ in¹⁷²² his own²³⁹⁸ power.¹⁸⁴⁹

8  But²³⁵ ye shall receive²⁹⁸³ power,¹⁴¹¹ after that the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ is come¹⁹⁰⁴ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ you:⁵²⁰⁹ and²⁵³² ye shall be²⁰⁷¹ witnesses³¹⁴⁴ unto me³⁴²⁷ both⁵⁰³⁷ in¹⁷²² Jerusalem,²⁴¹⁹ and²⁵³² in¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ Judea,²⁴⁴⁹ and²⁵³² in Samaria,⁴⁵⁴⁰ and²⁵³² unto²¹⁹³ the uttermost part²⁰⁷⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth.¹⁰⁹³

9  And²⁵³² when he had spoken²⁰³⁶ these things,⁵⁰²³ while they⁸⁴⁶ beheld,⁹⁹¹ he was taken up;¹⁸⁶⁹ and²⁵³² a cloud³⁵⁰⁷ received⁵²⁷⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ out of⁵⁷⁵ their⁸⁴⁶ sight.³⁷⁸⁸

10  And²⁵³² while⁵⁶¹³ they looked steadfastly^{2258 816} toward¹⁵¹⁹ heaven³⁷⁷² as he⁸⁴⁶ went up,⁴¹⁹⁸ behold,²⁴⁰⁰ two¹⁴¹⁷ men^{435 2532} stood by³⁹³⁶ them⁸⁴⁶ in¹⁷²² white³⁰²² apparel;²⁰⁶⁶

11  Which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² said,²⁰³⁶ Ye men⁴³⁵ of Galilee,¹⁰⁵⁷ why⁵¹⁰¹ stand²⁴⁷⁶ ye gazing up¹⁶⁸⁹ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven?³⁷⁷² this same³⁷⁷⁸ Jesus,²⁴²⁴ which is taken up³⁵³ from⁵⁷⁵ you⁵²¹⁶ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven,³⁷⁷² shall so³⁷⁷⁹ come²⁰⁶⁴ in like manner^{3739 5158} as ye have seen²³⁰⁰ him⁸⁴⁶ go⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven.³⁷⁷²

12  Then⁵¹¹⁹ returned⁵²⁹⁰ they unto¹⁵¹⁹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ from⁵⁷⁵ the mount³⁷³⁵ called²⁵⁶⁴ Olivet,¹⁶³⁸ which is³⁶⁰³ from¹⁴⁵¹ Jerusalem²⁴¹⁹ a²¹⁹² sabbath day's⁴⁵²¹ journey.³⁵⁹⁸

13  And²⁵³² when³⁷⁵³ they were come in,¹⁵²⁵ they went up³⁰⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ an upper room,⁵²⁵³ where³⁷⁵⁷ abode^{2258 2650} both⁵⁰³⁷ Peter,⁴⁰⁷⁴ and²⁵³² James,²³⁸⁵ and²⁵³² John,²⁴⁹¹ and²⁵³² Andrew,⁴⁰⁶ Philip,⁵³⁷⁶ and²⁵³² Thomas,²³⁸¹ Bartholomew,⁹¹⁸ and²⁵³² Matthew,³¹⁵⁶ James²³⁸⁵ the son of Alphaeus,²⁵⁶ and²⁵³² Simon⁴⁶¹³ Zelotes,²²⁰⁸ and²⁵³² Judas²⁴⁵⁵ the brother of James.²³⁸⁵

14  These³⁷⁷⁸ all³⁹⁵⁶ continued^{2258 4342} with one accord³⁶⁶¹ in prayer⁴³³⁵ and²⁵³² supplication,¹¹⁶² with⁴⁸⁶² the women,¹¹³⁵ and²⁵³² Mary³¹³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ mother³³⁸⁴ of Jesus,²⁴²⁴ and²⁵³² with⁴⁸⁶² his⁸⁴⁶ brethren.⁸⁰

15  And²⁵³² in¹⁷²² those⁵⁰²⁵ days²²⁵⁰ Peter⁴⁰⁷⁴ stood up⁴⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ disciples,³¹⁰¹ and said,²⁰³⁶ (the⁵⁰³⁷ number³⁷⁹³ of names³⁶⁸⁶ together^{1909 846} were²²⁵⁸ about⁵⁶¹³ a hundred and twenty,)^{1540 1501}

16  Men⁴³⁵ and brethren,⁸⁰ this⁵⁰²⁶ Scripture¹¹²⁴ must needs¹¹⁶³ have been fulfilled,⁴¹³⁷ which³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Holy⁴⁰ Ghost⁴¹⁵¹ by¹²²³ the mouth⁴⁷⁵⁰ of David¹¹³⁸ spake before⁴²⁷⁷ concerning⁴⁰¹² Judas,²⁴⁵⁵ which was¹⁰⁹⁶ guide³⁵⁹⁵ to them that took⁴⁸¹⁵ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

17  For³⁷⁵⁴ he was²²⁵⁸ numbered²⁶⁷⁴ with⁴⁸⁶² us,²²⁵⁴ and²⁵³² had obtained²⁹⁷⁵ part²⁸¹⁹ of this⁵⁰²⁶ ministry.¹²⁴⁸

18  Now³⁷⁶⁷ this man^{3778 3303} purchased²⁹³² a field⁵⁵⁶⁴ with¹⁵³⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ reward³⁴⁰⁸ of iniquity;⁹³ and²⁵³² falling¹⁰⁹⁶ headlong,⁴²⁴⁸ he burst asunder²⁹⁹⁷ in the midst,³³¹⁹ and²⁵³² all³⁹⁵⁶ his⁸⁴⁶ bowels⁴⁶⁹⁸ gushed out.¹⁶³²

19  And²⁵³² it was¹⁰⁹⁶ known¹¹¹⁰ unto all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ dwellers²⁷³⁰ at Jerusalem;²⁴¹⁹ insomuch as⁵⁶²⁰ that¹⁵⁶⁵ field⁵⁵⁶⁴ is called²⁵⁶⁴ in their⁸⁴⁶ proper²³⁹⁸ tongue,¹²⁵⁸ Aceldama,¹⁸⁴ that is to say,⁵¹²³ The field⁵⁵⁶⁴ of blood.¹²⁹

20  For¹⁰⁶³ it is written¹¹²⁵ in¹⁷²² the book⁹⁷⁶ of Psalms,⁵⁵⁶⁸ Let his⁸⁴⁶ habitation¹⁸⁸⁶ be¹⁰⁹⁶ desolate,²⁰⁴⁸ and²⁵³² let no³³⁶¹ man²⁰⁷⁷ dwell²⁷³⁰ therein:^{1722 846} and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ bishopric¹⁹⁸⁴ let another²⁰⁸⁷ take.²⁹⁸³

21  Wherefore³⁷⁶⁷ of¹¹⁶³ these men⁴³⁵ which have companied⁴⁹⁰⁵ with us²²⁵⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ the time⁵⁵⁵⁰ that^{1722 3739} the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ went in¹⁵²⁵ and²⁵³² out¹⁸³¹ among¹⁹⁰⁹ us,²²⁴⁸

22  Beginning⁷⁵⁶ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ baptism⁹⁰⁸ of John,²⁴⁹¹ unto²¹⁹³ that same day²²⁵⁰ that³⁷³⁹ he was taken up³⁵³ from⁵⁷⁵ us,²²⁵⁷ must one¹⁵²⁰ be⁵¹³⁰ ordained¹⁰⁹⁶ to be a witness³¹⁴⁴ with⁴⁸⁶² us²²⁵⁴ of his⁸⁴⁶ resurrection.³⁸⁶

23  And²⁵³² they appointed²⁴⁷⁶ two,¹⁴¹⁷ Joseph²⁵⁰¹ called²⁵⁶⁴ Barsabas,⁹²³ who³⁷³⁹ was surnamed¹⁹⁴¹ Justus,²⁴⁵⁹ and²⁵³² Matthias.³¹⁵⁹

24  And²⁵³² they prayed,⁴³³⁶ and said,²⁰³⁶ Thou,⁴⁷⁷¹ Lord,²⁹⁶² which knowest the hearts²⁵⁸⁹ of all³⁹⁵⁶ men, show³²² whether^{3739 1520} of¹⁵³⁷ these⁵¹³⁰ two¹⁴¹⁷ thou hast chosen,¹⁵⁸⁶

25  That he may take²⁹⁸³ part²⁸¹⁹ of this⁵⁰²⁶ ministry¹²⁴⁸ and²⁵³² apostleship,⁶⁵¹ from¹⁵³⁷ which³⁷³⁹ Judas²⁴⁵⁵ by transgression fell,³⁸⁴⁵ that he might go⁴¹⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ his own²³⁹⁸ place.⁵¹¹⁷

26  And²⁵³² they gave forth¹³²⁵ their⁸⁴⁶ lots;²⁸¹⁹ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ lot²⁸¹⁹ fell⁴⁰⁹⁸ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ Matthias;³¹⁵⁹ and²⁵³² he was numbered⁴⁷⁸⁵ with³³²⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ eleven¹⁷³³ apostles.⁶⁵²

Vul

1 Primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus, o Theophile, quæ cœpit Jesus facere et docere

2 usque in diem qua præcipiens Apostolis per Spiritum Sanctum, quos elegit, assumptus est:

3 quibus et præbuit seipsum vivum post passionem suam in multis argumentis, per dies quadraginta apparens eis, et loquens de regno Dei.

4 Et convescens, præcepit eis ab Jerosolymis ne discederent, sed exspectarent promissionem Patris, quam audistis (inquit) per os meum:

5 quia Joannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies.

6 Igitur qui convenerant, interrogabant eum, dicentes: Domine, si in tempore hoc restitues regnum Israël?

7 Dixit autem eis: Non est vestrum nosse tempora vel momenta quæ Pater posuit in sua potestate:

8 sed accipietis virtutem supervenientis Spiritus Sancti in vos, et eritis mihi testes in Jerusalem, et in omni Judæa, et Samaria, et usque ad ultimum terræ.

9 Et cum hæc dixisset, videntibus illis, elevatus est: et nubes suscepit eum ab oculis eorum.

10 Cumque intuerentur in cælum euntem illum, ecce duo viri astiterunt juxta illos in vestibus albis,

11 qui et dixerunt: Viri Galilæi, quid statis aspicientes in cælum? Hic Jesus, qui assumptus est a vobis in cælum, sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in cælum.

12 Tunc reversi sunt Jerosolymam a monte qui vocatur Oliveti, qui est juxta Jerusalem, sabbati habens iter.

13 Et cum introissent in cœnaculum, ascenderunt ubi manebant Petrus, et Joannes, Jacobus, et Andreas, Philippus, et Thomas, Bartholomæus, et Matthæus, Jacobus Alphæi, et Simon Zelotes, et Judas Jacobi.

14 Hi omnes erant perseverantes unanimiter in oratione cum mulieribus, et Maria matre Jesu, et fratribus ejus.

15 In diebus illis, exsurgens Petrus in medio fratrum, dixit (erat autem turba hominum simul, fere centum viginti):

16 Viri fratres, oportet impleri Scripturam quam prædixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Juda, qui fuit dux eorum qui comprehenderunt Jesum:

17 qui connumeratus erat in nobis, et sortitus est sortem ministerii hujus.

18 Et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis, et suspensus crepuit medius: et diffusa sunt omnia viscera ejus.

19 Et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Jerusalem, ita ut appellaretur ager ille, lingua eorum, Haceldama, hoc est, ager sanguinis.

20 Scriptum est enim in libro Psalmorum: Fiat commoratio eorum deserta, et non sit qui inhabitet in ea: et episcopatum ejus accipiat alter.

21 Oportet ergo ex his viris qui nobiscum sunt congregati in omni tempore quo intravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Jesus,

22 incipiens a baptismate Joannis usque in diem qua assumptus est a nobis, testem resurrectionis ejus nobiscum fieri unum ex istis.

23 Et statuerunt duos, Joseph, qui vocabatur Barsabas, qui cognominatus est Justus, et Mathiam.

24 Et orantes dixerunt: Tu Domine, qui corda nosti omnium, ostende quem elegeris ex his duobus unum,

25 accipere locum ministerii hujus et apostolatus, de quo prævaricatus est Judas ut abiret in locum suum.

26 Et dederunt sortes eis, et cecidit sors super Mathiam: et annumeratus est cum undecim Apostolis.
