  Acts chapter one, the first account I composed Theophilus
• 0:04
  about all that Jesus began to do and teach until the day when he
• 0:07
  was taken up to heaven, after he had by the Holy Spirit given
• 0:10
  orders to the apostles whom He had chosen.
• 0:13
  To these he also presented himself alive after his
• 0:16
  suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a
• 0:19
  period of 40 days, and Speaking of the things concerning the
• 0:22
  Kingdom of God. Gathering them together, He
• 0:24
  commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what
• 0:28
  the Father had promised, which he said, you heard of from me.
• 0:32
  For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with
• 0:35
  the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
• 0:37
  So when they had come together, they were asking him, saying,
• 0:40
  Lord, is it at this time you're restoring the Kingdom to Israel?
• 0:43
  He said to them, It is not for you to know times or epochs
• 0:46
  which the Father has fixed by His own authority, but you will
• 0:49
  receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and
• 0:52
  you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea
• 0:55
  and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.
• 0:59
  And after He had said these things, he was lifted up while
• 1:02
  they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their
• 1:04
  sight. And as they were gazing intently
• 1:06
  into the sky while He was going, behold, 2 men in white clothing
• 1:09
  stood beside them. They also said, Men of Galilee,
• 1:13
  why do you stand looking into the sky?
• 1:15
  This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come
• 1:18
  in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.
• 1:21
  Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet,
• 1:24
  which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
• 1:28
  When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room
• 1:30
  where they were staying, that is, Peter and John, and James,
• 1:33
  and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James
• 1:37
  the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of
• 1:40
  James. These all with one mind were
• 1:42
  continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women
• 1:46
  and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
• 1:49
  At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren.
• 1:51
  A gathering of about 120 persons was there together, and said,
• 1:56
  Brethren, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy
• 1:58
  Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who
• 2:02
  became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
• 2:05
  For he was counted among us and received his share in this
• 2:07
  ministry. Now this man acquired a field
• 2:10
  with the price of his wickedness, and falling
• 2:12
  headlong, he burst open in the middle, and all his intestines
• 2:15
  gushed out. And it became known to all who
• 2:17
  were living in Jerusalem, so that in their own language that
• 2:20
  field was called Hakeldama, that is, field of blood, for it is
• 2:24
  written in the book of Psalms. Let his homestead be made
• 2:27
  desolate, and let no one dwell in it, and let another man take
• 2:31
  his office. Therefore it is necessary that
• 2:34
  of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord
• 2:36
  Jesus went in and out among us, beginning with the baptism of
• 2:39
  John, until the day that He was taken up from US.
• 2:42
  One of these must become a witness with us of His
• 2:45
  resurrection. So they put forward two men,
• 2:47
  Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justice, and
• 2:51
  Matthias. And they prayed and said, you,
• 2:53
  Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two
• 2:56
  you have chosen to occupy this ministry and apostleship, from
• 3:00
  which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.
• 3:03
  And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias, and he
• 3:06
  was added to the 11 apostles.
