RF ACT 1:1 Introduction:
THE above narrative I compiled, Theophilus, concerning everything that Jesus began to do and teach,
RF ACT 1:2 from the beginning until the day when, having equipped the apostles whom He had selected with Holy Spirit,
RF ACT 1:3 He ascended: to whom He also presented Himself alive, with many proofs, after His suffering; appearing to them during forty days, and speaking regarding the welfare of the Kingdom of God.
RF ACT 1:4 And, being in their company, He enjoined them "not to remove from Jerusalem; but await the promise of the Father, concerning which you heard from Me.
RF ACT 1:5 Because John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with Holy Spirit not many days from now."
RF ACT 1:6 When they were together, however, they asked Him: "Master, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"
RF ACT 1:7 "It is not for you," He answered them, "to know times or periods which the Father has reserved at His own absolute disposal.
RF ACT 1:8 But you shall receive power from the Holy Spirit coming upon you; and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the bounds of the earth."
RF ACT 1:9 The Ascension.
And saying this, even while they were looking, He ascended; and a cloud carried Him up from their view.
RF ACT 1:10 And as they were gazing intently into the heaven at His departure, two men in white robes suddenly stood beside them;
RF ACT 1:11 who also said: "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, Who has ascended from you to the heaven, will even return in the same way as you have seen Him depart to the heaven."
RF ACT 1:12 They then returned to Jerusalem from the Mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.
RF ACT 1:13 And when they had entered it, they ascended to the upper chamber, where they were staying; that is, Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus and Simon the Zealous, and Judas of James.
RF ACT 1:14 All these were waiting in full union in prayer together, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
RF ACT 1:15 Choosing a Successor to Judas.
On such an occasion, Peter standing up among the brethren (who included about one hundred and twenty names),
RF ACT 1:16 said: "Men, brothers! it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit dictated through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became the guide to those who arrested Jesus;
RF ACT 1:17 because he was enumerated with us, and obtained a share in this service."
RF ACT 1:18 (He bought a farm, however, with the wages of that wickedness; and, falling there, face downwards, the body burst, and the whole of his viscera fell out,
RF ACT 1:19 And this was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so that in their own language the farm was named, "Aceldama," that is, "Blood-Farm."
RF ACT 1:20 For it is recorded in the book of Psalms: LET HIS HOUSE BE DESERTED, AND LET NONE BECOME ITS OCCUPANT 1 and, LET ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE. 2 )
RF ACT 1:21 It is therefore necessary that one of those men who have been included in our company during the whole of the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
RF ACT 1:22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, should be one of those who will be a witness with us of His resurrection."
RF ACT 1:23 They accordingly chose two, Joseph, surnamed Barsabas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
RF ACT 1:24 And, Praying, they said: "Lord, You Knower of all hearts, indicate which one of these two You have chosen
RF ACT 1:25 to receive the position of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went astray, so as to sink to his proper position."
RF ACT 1:26 They then gave them their votes; and the vote fell on Matthias. He was accordingly elected to work with the eleven apostles.
