21:24 This is the disciple who testifies about these things and has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. 21:25 There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down,65 I suppose the whole world66 would not have room for the books that would be written.67
1:1 I wrote1 the former2 account,3 Theophilus,4 about all that Jesus began to do and teach 1:2 until the day he was taken up to heaven,5 after he had given orders6 by7 the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 1:3 To the same apostles8 also, after his suffering,9 he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs. He was seen by them over a forty-day period10 and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God. 1:4 While he was with them,11 he declared,12 “Do not leave Jerusalem,13 but wait there14 for what my15 Father promised,16 which you heard about from me.17 1:5 For18 John baptized with water, but you19 will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
1:6 So when they had gathered together, they began to ask him,20 “Lord, is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” 1:7 He told them, “You are not permitted to know21 the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts22 of the earth.” 1:9 After23 he had said this, while they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud hid him from their sight. 1:10 As24 they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly25 two men in white clothing stood near them 1:11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here26 looking up into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven27 will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”
A Replacement for Judas is Chosen
1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem28 from the mountain29 called the Mount of Olives30 (which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey31 away). 1:13 When32 they had entered Jerusalem,33 they went to the upstairs room where they were staying. Peter34 and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James were there.35 1:14 All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.36 1:15 In those days37 Peter stood up among the believers38 (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty people) and said, 1:16 “Brothers,39 the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through40 David concerning Judas—who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus—1:17 for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.”41 1:18 (Now this man Judas42 acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed,43 and falling headfirst44 he burst open in the middle and all his intestines45 gushed out. 1:19 This46 became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language47 they called that field48 Hakeldama, that is, “Field of Blood.”) 1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his house become deserted,49 and let there be no one to live in it,’50 and ‘Let another take his position of responsibility.’51 1:21 Thus one of the men52 who have accompanied us during all the time the Lord Jesus associated with53 us, 1:22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day he54 was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.” 1:23 So they55 proposed two candidates:56 Joseph called Barsabbas (also called Justus) and Matthias. 1:24 Then they prayed,57 “Lord, you know the hearts of all. Show us which one of these two you have chosen 1:25 to assume the task58 of this service59 and apostleship from which Judas turned aside60 to go to his own place.”61 1:26 Then62 they cast lots for them, and the one chosen was Matthias;63 so he was counted with the eleven apostles.64
The Holy Spirit and the Day of Pentecost
2:1 Now1 when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2:2 Suddenly2 a sound3 like a violent wind blowing4 came from heaven5 and filled the entire house where they were sitting. 2:3 And tongues spreading out like a fire6 appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them. 2:4 All7 of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages8 as the Spirit enabled them.9
2:5 Now there were devout Jews10 from every nation under heaven residing in Jerusalem.11 2:6 When this sound12 occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion,13 because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 2:7 Completely baffled, they said,14 “Aren’t15 all these who are speaking Galileans? 2:8 And how is it that each one of us hears them16 in our own native language?17 2:9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and the province of Asia,18 2:10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene,19 and visitors from Rome,20 2:11 both Jews and proselytes,21 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!”22 2:12 All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 2:13 But others jeered at the speakers,23 saying, “They are drunk on new wine!”24
