Act 1:5

Act 1:5for John baptized [fn]with water, but you will be baptized [fn]with the Holy Spirit [fn]not many days from now.”

Act 1:6

So^G3767, when they had come^G4905 together^G4905, they began asking^G2065 Him, saying^G3004, “Lord^G2962, is it at this^G3778 time^G5550 that You are restoring^G600 the kingdom^G932 to Israel^G2474?”

Act 1:7

Then^G5119 they returned^G5290 to Jerusalem^G2419 from the [fn]mountain^G3735 called^G2564 [fn]Olivet^G1638, which^G3739 is near^G1451 Jerusalem^G2419, a [fn]Sabbath^G4521 day’s journey^G3598 away.

Act 1:13

Act 1:13When they had entered the city, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying, that is, Peter, John, [fn]James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, [fn]James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the [fn]son of [fn]James.

Act 1:14

(cf. Psa 109:8 )

Act 1:15

[fn]At this^G3778 time^G2250 Peter^G4074 stood^G450 up^G450 among^G3319 the brothers^G80 and sisters (a group^G3793 of about^G5613 120^G1540^G1501 [fn]people^G3686 was there together^G1909^G3588^G846), and said^G3004,

Act 1:17

Act 1:17“For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry.”

Act 1:18(Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.

Act 1:19

Act 1:19And it became known to all the residents of Jerusalem; as a result that field was called Hakeldama in their own language, that is, Field of Blood.)

Act 1:20

Act 1:20“For it is written in the book of Psalms:

‘MAY HIS RESIDENCE^G1886 BE MADE^G1096 DESOLATE^G2048,

AND MAY THERE BE NONE^G3361 LIVING^G2730 IN IT’;

and,

‘MAY ANOTHER^G2087 TAKE^G2983 HIS [fn]OFFICE^G1984.’

Act 1:21

“Therefore^G3767 it is necessary^G1163 that of the men^G435 who have accompanied^G4905 us all^G3956 the time^G5550 that the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 went^G1525 in^G1525 and out^G1831 [fn]among^G1909 us—

Act 1:22

Act 1:22beginning [fn]with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

Act 1:23So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.

Act 1:24

Act 1:24And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two You have chosen

Act 1:25

Act 1:25to [fn]occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”
