3 to|strong="G2532" whom|strong="G3739" he|strong="G2532" also|strong="G2532" showed himself|strong="G1438" alive|strong="G2198" after|strong="G3326" his|strong="G1438" passion|strong="G3958" by|strong="G1223" many|strong="G4183" proofs|strong="G5039", appearing|strong="G3700" unto|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588" by|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1722" space of|strong="G4012" forty|strong="G5062" days|strong="G2250", and|strong="G2532" speaking|strong="G3004" the|strong="G1722" things|strong="G3588" concerning|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" kingdom of|strong="G4012" God|strong="G2316":
4 and|strong="G2532", being|strong="G2532" assembled together|strong="G4871" with|strong="G2532" them, he|strong="G2532" charged|strong="G3853" them|strong="G3588" not|strong="G3361" to|strong="G2532" depart|strong="G5563" from|strong="G2532" Jerusalem|strong="G2414", but|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" wait|strong="G4037" for|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" promise|strong="G1860" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Father|strong="G3962", which|strong="G3739", said he, ye|strong="G3739" heard from|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473":
5 for|strong="G3754" John|strong="G2491" indeed|strong="G3303" baptized with|strong="G3326" water|strong="G5204"; but|strong="G1161" ye|strong="G5210" shall|strong="G3778" be|strong="G3756" baptized in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Holy|strong="G4151" Spirit|strong="G4151" not|strong="G3756" many|strong="G4183" days|strong="G2250" hence|strong="G3326".
6 They|strong="G3588" therefore|strong="G3767", when|strong="G1722" they|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" come|strong="G4905" together|strong="G4905", asked|strong="G2065" him|strong="G3588", saying|strong="G3004", Lord|strong="G2962", dost thou|strong="G1487" at|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3778" time|strong="G5550" restore|strong="G5550" the|strong="G1722" kingdom to|strong="G3004" Israel|strong="G2474"?
7 And|strong="G1161" he|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004" unto|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588", It|strong="G1161" is|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" for|strong="G4314" you|strong="G5210" to|strong="G4314" know|strong="G1097" times|strong="G2540" or|strong="G2228" seasons|strong="G2540", which|strong="G3739" the|strong="G1722" Father|strong="G3962" hath|strong="G3588" set|strong="G5087" within|strong="G1722" his|strong="G1438" own|strong="G2398" authority|strong="G1849".
8 But|strong="G2532" ye|strong="G5210" shall|strong="G2532" receive|strong="G2983" power|strong="G1411", when|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Holy|strong="G4151" Spirit|strong="G4151" is|strong="G1510" come|strong="G1904" upon|strong="G1909" you|strong="G5210": and|strong="G2532" ye|strong="G5210" shall|strong="G2532" be|strong="G1510" witnesses|strong="G3144" unto|strong="G1909" me|strong="G1473" both|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" Jerusalem|strong="G2419", and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" Judea|strong="G2449" and|strong="G2532" Samaria|strong="G4540", and|strong="G2532" unto|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1722" uttermost part|strong="G1473" of|strong="G4151" the|strong="G1722" earth|strong="G1093".
9 And|strong="G2532" when|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778", as|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" looking|strong="G2532", he|strong="G2532" was|strong="G3588" taken up|strong="G1869"; and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" cloud|strong="G3507" received|strong="G5274" him|strong="G3588" out|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2532" their|strong="G2532" sight|strong="G3788".
10 And|strong="G2532" while|strong="G1722" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1510" looking|strong="G2532" steadfastly into|strong="G1519" heaven|strong="G3772" as|strong="G5613" he|strong="G2532" went|strong="G4198", behold|strong="G2400" two|strong="G1417" men|strong="G1417" stood|strong="G3936" by|strong="G1722" them|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" white|strong="G3022" apparel|strong="G2066";
11 who|strong="G3739" also|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", Ye|strong="G5210" men|strong="G3778" of|strong="G2532" Galilee|strong="G1057", why|strong="G5101" stand|strong="G2476" ye|strong="G5210" gazing|strong="G2476" into|strong="G1519" heaven|strong="G3772"? this|strong="G3778" Jesus|strong="G2424", who|strong="G3739" was|strong="G3588" received up|strong="G1519" from|strong="G2064" you|strong="G5210" into|strong="G1519" heaven|strong="G3772", shall|strong="G2532" so|strong="G3779" come|strong="G2064" in|strong="G1519" like|strong="G3779" manner|strong="G3779" as|strong="G1519" ye|strong="G5210" beheld|strong="G2300" him|strong="G3588" going|strong="G4198" into|strong="G1519" heaven|strong="G3772".
12 Then|strong="G5119" returned|strong="G5290" they|strong="G3588" unto|strong="G1519" Jerusalem|strong="G2419" from|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1519" mount|strong="G3735" called|strong="G2564" Olivet|strong="G1638", which|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" nigh|strong="G1451" unto|strong="G1519" Jerusalem|strong="G2419", a|strong="G2192" sabbath|strong="G4521" day|strong="G4521"’s|strong="G2192" journey|strong="G3598" off.

14 These|strong="G3778" all|strong="G3956" with|strong="G4862" one|strong="G3956" accord|strong="G3661" continued|strong="G4342" steadfastly in|strong="G2532" prayer|strong="G4335" and|strong="G2532" supplication, with|strong="G4862" the|strong="G2532" women|strong="G1135", and|strong="G2532" Mary|strong="G3137" the|strong="G2532" mother|strong="G3384" of|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424", and|strong="G2532" with|strong="G4862" his|strong="G3956" brethren|strong="G3588".
15 And|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" these|strong="G3778" days|strong="G2250" Peter|strong="G4074" stood|strong="G3588" up|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" midst|strong="G3319" of|strong="G2250" the|strong="G1722" disciples|strong="G1510", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" (and|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G5613" multitude|strong="G3793" of|strong="G2250" persons|strong="G3686" gathered together|strong="G1909", about|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" hundred|strong="G1540" and|strong="G2532" twenty|strong="G1501"),

18 (Now|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3778" man|strong="G3778" obtained|strong="G2932" a|strong="G1096" field|strong="G5564" with|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" reward|strong="G3408" of|strong="G1537" his|strong="G3956" iniquity; and|strong="G2532" falling|strong="G1096" headlong|strong="G4248", he|strong="G2532" burst|strong="G2997" asunder|strong="G2997" in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" midst|strong="G3319", and|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" his|strong="G3956" bowels|strong="G4698" gushed|strong="G1632" out|strong="G1537".
19 And|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" became|strong="G1096" known|strong="G1110" to|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" dwellers|strong="G2730" at|strong="G2730" Jerusalem|strong="G2419"; insomuch that|strong="G3739" in|strong="G2532" their|strong="G2532" proper|strong="G2398" language|strong="G1258" that|strong="G3739" field|strong="G5564" was|strong="G1510" called|strong="G2564" Akeldama, that|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510", The|strong="G2532" field|strong="G5564" of|strong="G2532" blood.)

24 And|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" prayed|strong="G4336", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", Thou|strong="G4771", Lord|strong="G2962", who|strong="G3739" knowest the|strong="G2532" hearts|strong="G2589" of|strong="G1537" all|strong="G3956" men|strong="G3956", show of|strong="G1537" these|strong="G3778" two|strong="G1417" the|strong="G2532" one|strong="G1520" whom|strong="G3739" thou|strong="G4771" hast|strong="G2532" chosen|strong="G1586",
