And after He had saidg3004 theseg3778 thingsg3778,  aHe was liftedg1869 up while they were lookingg991 on, and a cloudg3507 receivedg5274 Him out of their sightg3788.

And as they were gazingg816 intentlyg816 into  1the skyg3772 while He was goingg4198, beholdg2400,  atwog1417 meng435 in whiteg3022 clothingg2067 stoodg3936 besideg3936 them.

Thisg3778 Jesusg2424, who  bhas been takeng353 up from you into heaveng3772, will  ccomeg2064 in justg3779 the sameg5158 wayg5158 as you have watchedg2300 Him gog4198 into heaveng3772."

Theng5119 they  areturnedg5290 to Jerusalemg2419 from the  1 bmountg3735 calledg2564  2Olivetg1638, whichg3739 is nearg1451 Jerusalemg2419, a  3Sabbathg4521 day's journeyg3598 away.

13

Wheng3753 they had enteredg1525 the city, they wentg305 up to  athe upperg5253 roomg5253 whereg3757 they were stayingg2650;  bthat is, Peterg4074 and Johng2491 and  1Jamesg2385 and Andrewg406, Philipg5376 and Thomasg2381, Bartholomewg918 and Matthewg3102b,  1Jamesg2385 the son of Alphaeusg256b, and Simong4613 the Zealotg2208, and  cJudasg2455 the  2son of  1Jamesg2385.

14

Theseg3778 allg3956 with oneg3661 mindg3661  awere continuallyg4342 devotingg4342 themselvesg4342 to prayerg4335, alongg4862 with  bthe womeng1135, and Maryg3137 the  cmotherg3384 of Jesusg2424, and with His  cbrothersg80.

15

 1At thisg3778 timeg2250 Peterg4074 stoodg450 up in the midstg3319 of  athe brethreng80 (a gatheringg3793 of aboutg5616 oneg1540 hundredg1540 and twentyg1501  2personsg3686 was there togetherg1909g3588g846), and saidg3004,

16

"Brethreng435g80,  athe Scriptureg1124 hadg1163 to be fulfilledg4137, whichg3739 the Holyg40 Spiritg4151 foretoldg4275b by the mouthg4750 of Davidg1160b concerningg4012 Judasg2455,  bwho becameg1096 a guideg3595 to thoseg3588 who arrestedg4815 Jesusg2424.

17

"For he was  acountedg2674 amongg1722 us and receivedg2975 his shareg2819 in  bthisg3778 ministryg1248."

18

(Nowg3767 thisg3778 mang3778  aacquiredg2932 a fieldg5564 with  bthe priceg3408 of his wickednessg93, and fallingg1096 headlongg4248, he burstg2997 openg2997 in the middleg3319 and allg3956 his intestinesg4698 gushedg1632b out.

19

And it becameg1096 knowng1110 to allg3956 who were livingg2730 in Jerusalemg2419; sog5620 that in  atheir owng2398 languageg1258 that fieldg5564 was calledg2564 Hakeldamag184, that is, Fieldg5564 of Bloodg129.)

20

"For it is writteng1125 in the bookg976 of Psalmsg5568, ` aLET HIS HOMESTEADg1886 BE MADEg1096 DESOLATEg2048, AND LET NOg3361 ONEg3361 DWELLg2730 IN IT'; and, ` bLET ANOTHERg2087 MANg2087 TAKEg2983 HIS  1OFFICEg1984.'

21

"Thereforeg3767 it is necessaryg1163 that of the meng435 who have accompaniedg4905 us allg3956 the timeg5550 that  athe Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 wentg1831 in and out  1amongg1909 us--

22

 abeginningg757  1with the baptismg908 of Johng2491 untilg2193 the dayg2250 that He  bwas takeng353 up from us--oneg1520 of theseg3778 must becomeg1096 a  cwitnessg3144 with us of His resurrectiong386."

23

Sog2532 they putg2476 forwardg2476 twog1417 meng1417, Josephg2501 calledg2564 Barsabbasg923 (whog3739 was also calledg1941 Justusg2459), and  aMatthiasg3103b.

24

And they  aprayedg4336 and saidg3004, "You, Lordg2962,  bwhog2589 knowg2589 the heartsg2589 of allg3956 meng3956, showg322 whichg3739 oneg1520 of theseg3778 twog1417 You have choseng1586

25

to  1occupyg2983  athisg3778 ministryg1248 and  bapostleshipg651 from whichg3739 Judasg2455 turnedg3845 asideg3845 to gog4198 to his owng2398 placeg5117."

26

And they  1 adrewg1325 lotsg2819 for them, and the lotg2819 fellg4098  2to  bMatthiasg3103b; and he was  3addedg4785 to  cthe eleveng1733 apostlesg652.
