00:00.440 --> 00:07.660
The Acts of the Apostles Chapter 1 The
former treatise have I made, O Theophilus,

00:07.940 --> 00:13.120
of all that Jesus began both to do and
teach, until the day in which he was taken

00:13.120 --> 00:13.400
up.

00:13.940 --> 00:17.960
After that he, through the Holy Ghost,
had given commandments unto the apostles

00:17.960 --> 00:24.260
whom he had chosen, to whom also he showed
himself alive after his passion by many

00:24.260 --> 00:28.940
infallible proofs, being seen of them
forty days, and speaking of the things

00:28.940 --> 00:30.500
pertaining to the kingdom of God.

00:31.100 --> 00:35.280
And being assembled together with them,
commanded them that they should not depart

00:35.280 --> 00:39.560
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise
of the Father, which, saith he,

00:39.760 --> 00:40.700
ye have heard of me.

00:41.780 --> 00:46.940
For John truly baptized with water,
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy

00:46.940 --> 00:48.840
Ghost not many days hence.

00:49.260 --> 00:52.940
When they therefore were come together,
they asked of him, saying, Lord,

00:53.380 --> 00:56.580
wilt thou at this time restore again the
kingdom to Israel?

00:56.860 --> 01:01.460
And he said unto them, It is not for you
to know the times or the seasons which the

01:01.460 --> 01:02.960
Father hath put in his own power.

01:04.080 --> 01:08.000
But ye shall receive power after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you.

01:08.740 --> 01:13.360
And ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in old Judea, and in

01:13.360 --> 01:16.140
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth.

01:16.420 --> 01:20.780
And when he had spoken these things,
while they beheld, he was taken up,

01:21.120 --> 01:23.460
and a cloud received him out of their
sight.

01:24.300 --> 01:29.540
And while they looked steadfastly toward
heaven as he went up, behold, two men

01:29.540 --> 01:34.380
stood by them in white apparel,
which also said, Ye men of Galilee,

01:35.300 --> 01:37.260
why stand ye gazing up into heaven?

01:38.280 --> 01:44.760
This same Jesus, which is taken up from
you into heaven, shall so come in like

01:44.760 --> 01:47.200
manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

01:47.820 --> 01:51.840
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the
mount called Olivet, which is from

01:51.840 --> 01:53.540
Jerusalem a Sabbath day's journey.

01:54.360 --> 01:58.820
And when they were come in, they went up
into an upper room, where abode both Peter

01:58.820 --> 02:03.340
and James, and John and Andrew,
Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and

02:03.340 --> 02:08.080
Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus,
and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother

02:08.080 --> 02:08.660
of James.

02:09.380 --> 02:13.920
These all continued with one accord in
prayer and supplication with the women,

02:14.320 --> 02:17.140
and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his
brethren.

02:18.200 --> 02:22.260
And in those days Peter stood up in the
midst of the disciples, and said,

02:22.800 --> 02:25.320
The number of names together were about an
hundred and twenty.

02:25.840 --> 02:30.340
Men and brethren, this scripture must
needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy

02:30.340 --> 02:35.260
Ghost by the mouth of David spake before
concerning Judas, which was guide to them

02:35.260 --> 02:36.080
that took Jesus.

02:36.680 --> 02:40.460
For he was numbered with us, and had
obtained part of this ministry.

02:40.980 --> 02:45.780
Now this man purchased a field with the
reward of iniquity, and falling headlong,

02:46.160 --> 02:49.920
he burst asunder in the midst,
and all his bowels gushed out.

02:50.620 --> 02:55.260
And it was known unto all the dwellers at
Jerusalem, insomuch as that field is

02:55.260 --> 02:59.940
called in their proper tongue,
akeldama, that is to say, the field of

02:59.940 --> 03:00.280
blood.

03:00.920 --> 03:04.860
For it is written in the book of Psalms,
Let his habitation be desolate,

03:05.280 --> 03:10.420
and let no man dwell therein, and his
bishopric let another take.

03:11.340 --> 03:14.480
Wherefore of these men, which have
accompanied with us all the time that the

03:14.480 --> 03:18.580
Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
beginning from the baptism of John,

03:18.880 --> 03:23.360
unto that same day that he was taken up
from us, must one be ordained to be a

03:23.360 --> 03:25.000
witness with us of his resurrection.

03:25.920 --> 03:30.800
And they appointed two, Joseph called
Barzabas, who was surnamed Justice,

03:31.180 --> 03:32.060
and Matthias.

03:32.600 --> 03:37.540
And they prayed and said, Thou,
Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men,

03:38.620 --> 03:43.640
show whither of these two thou hast
chosen, that he may take part of this

03:43.640 --> 03:49.740
ministry and apostleship from which Judas
by transgression fell, that he might go to

03:49.740 --> 03:50.500
his own place.

03:50.960 --> 03:54.600
And they gave forth their lots,
and the lot fell upon Matthias,

03:54.880 --> 03:57.200
and he was numbered with the eleven
apostles.
