1Ton men prōton logon poiema peri panteiu, ō Theofilor, heiu archeta ⸀tos Iēsus poiarō tē kai didaskarōIn my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach, 2achri hau hēmerau entelerantos toi apostoloi dia pneumeu hagieu hoin eklegeta analabita;until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen. 3hoi kai parastēata heauton zōarōnton meta tem paschara auton en pollei tekmēriei, dia hēmeraiu tesserakonta optanorōntos autoi kai legarōntos teim peri tau basileiau tou theou;After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4kai sunalizorōntos parangelata autoi apo Hierosolumeiu mē chōrizorō, alla perimenarō tan epangelian tou patrou han akouava mu;And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss. 5hoti Iōannos men baptizata hude, vis de ⸂en pneume baptizivi⸃ hagie ouk meta pollain houtain hēmerain.For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6Tois men oun sunercharantois ⸀erōtale auton legarōntois; Kurior, ei en to chrono houto apokatastēasō tan basileian to Israēl?So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7legata ⸀de pros autoin; Ouk vu atō gnōskara chronoin ē kairoin hoin tos patros titheta en ta idia exousia,Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority. 8alla labevi dunamian epercharanteu teu hagieu pneumeu epi vin, kai evi ⸀mu marturois en tē Ierousalēm kai en panta ta Ioudaia kai Samareia kai heōs eschateu tau gēau.But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 9kai houteim legarantos bleparōntoiu autoiu eparita kai nefelas hupolabata auton apo toiu ofthalmoiu autoiu.After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. 10kai hōs atenizarōntois ale eis ton ouranon poreuorōntou autou, kai idou androis duo parastēalelē autoi en ⸂esthai leukai,⸃They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11hois kai legala; Androir Galilaioir, tinem stēavē ⸀bleparōntois eis ton ouranon? houtos tos Iēsus tos analabirantos apo vu eis ton ouranon houtōs ercheti hon tropon theaseva auton poreuorōnton eis ton ouranon.“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
12Tote hupostrefala eis Ierousalēm apo oreu teu kalorōnteu Elaiōnou, hem atō engus Ierousalēm sabbateu echarōntem hodan.Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away. 13kai hote eiserchala, ⸂eis tem huperōem anabainala⸃ hou ale katamenarōntois, tos tē Petros kai ⸂Iōannos kai Iakōbos⸃ kai Andreos, Filippos kai Thōmos, Bartholomaios kai Mathaios, Iakōbos Halfaiou kai Simōnos tos zēlōtos kai Ioudos Iakōbou.When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14houtois pantois ale proskarterarōntois homothumadōs ta ⸀proseucha sun gunaikai kai ⸀Mariam ta mētēra tou Iēsu kai ⸀sun toi adelfoi autou.With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15Kai en tai hēmerai houtai anastēarantos Petros en mese toiu ⸀adelfoiu legata ate tē ochlos onomeiu epi tem autem ⸀hōs hekaton eikosi;In those days Peter stood up among the brothers ( a gathering of about a hundred and twenty ) and said, 16Androir adelfoir, date plērira tan ⸀grafan han prolegata tem pneumem tem hagiem dia stomeu David peri Ioudou tou generantou hodēgou toi sullabarantoi ⸀Iēsun,“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17hoti katarithmorēntos ate ⸀en ni kai lanchanata ton klēron tau diakoniau houtau.He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.” 18Houtos men oun kteta chōriem ek misthou tau adikiau, kai prēnos generantos lakata mesos, kai ekchita panteim teim splanchneim autou.(Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out. 19kai gnōstem geneta pantoi toi katoikarōntoi Ierousalēm, hōste kalira tem chōriem ekeinem ta ⸀idia dialekta autoiu Hakeldamach, houtem atō Chōriem Haimeu.This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20grafotē gar en bibla psalmoiu; Genitar tas epaulias autou erēmas kai mē atōr tos katoikarōntos en auta, kai; Tan episkopan autou ⸀labatar heteros.“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’ 21datō oun toiu sunercharantoiu ni androiu en panto chrono ⸀ho eiserchata kai exerchata epi nin tos kurios Iēsus,Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22archerantos apo teu baptismeu Iōannou heōs tau hēmerau hau analabita apo nu, marturon tau anastasiau autou ⸂sun ni genera⸃ henon houtoiu.beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” 23kai stēala duo, Iōsēf ton kalorōnton Barsabbon, hos epikalita Ioustos, kai Maththion.So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24kai proseucherantois legala Sis kurior kardiognōstor pantoiu, anadeikasar hon eklegesa, ek houtoiu toiu duo henon,And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart.

So he was added to the eleven apostles.
