The first account I composed
περὶ πάντων, ὦ Θεόφιλε, ὧν ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς ποιεῖν τε καὶ διδάσκειν
about all, O Theophilus, that Jesus began to do and teach,
ἄχρι ἧς ἡμέρας ἐντειλάμενος τοῖς ἀποστόλοις διὰ πνεύματος ἁγίου οὓς ἐξελέξατο ἀνελήμφθη·
until the day, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen, when He was taken up to heaven,

actionmanner
οἷς καὶ παρέστησεν ἑαυτὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τὸ παθεῖν αὐτὸν
To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering,
ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις,
by many convincing proofs,
δι’ ἡμερῶν τεσσεράκοντα ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς
appearing to them over a period of forty days
καὶ λέγων τὰ περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ.
and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.
series
καὶ συναλιζόμενος
Gathering them together,
παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων μὴ χωρίζεσθαι,
He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem,
ἀλλὰ περιμένειν τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ πατρὸς
but to wait for what the Father had promised,
negativepositive
ἣν ἠκούσατέ μου·
"Which," He said, "you heard of from Me;
ὅτι Ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν ὕδατι, ὑμεῖς
for John baptized with water,

but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit

οὐ μετὰ πολλὰς ταύτας ἡμέρας.
not many days from now."

So when they had come together,

they were asking Him, saying,
κύριε, εἰ ἐν τῷ χρόνῳ τούτῳ
"Lord, is it at this time
ἀποκαθιστάνεις τὴν βασιλείαν τῷ Ἰσραήλ;
You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"

He said to them,

"It is not for you to know times

which the Father has fixed

καὶ ταῦτα εἰπὼν
And after He had said these things,
βλεπόντων αὐτῶν
while they were looking on,
ἐπήρθη,
He was lifted up
καὶ νεφέλη ὑπέλαβεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν.
and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
καὶ ὡς ἀτενίζοντες ἦσαν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν
And as they were gazing intently into the sky
πορευομένου αὐτοῦ,
while He was going,
καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες δύο παρειστήκεισαν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἐσθήσεσι λευκαῖς,
behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.
οἳ καὶ εἶπαν·
They also said,
ἄνδρες Γαλιλαῖοι, τί ἑστήκατε βλέποντες εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν;
"Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky?
οὗτος ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὁ ἀναλημφθεὶς ἀφ’ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν οὕτως ἐλεύσεται
This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come
ὃν τρόπον ἐθεάσασθε αὐτὸν πορευόμενον εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."
ideaexplanation
Τότε ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ ὄρους τοῦ καλουμένου ἐλαιῶνος, ὅ ἐστιν ἐγγὺς Ἱερουσαλὴμ σαββάτου ἔχον ὁδόν.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθον,
When they had entered [the city],
εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον ἀνέβησαν
they went up to the upper room
οὗ ἦσαν καταμένοντες,
where they were staying;
ὅ τε Πέτρος καὶ Ἰωάννης καὶ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἀνδρέας, Φίλιππος καὶ Θωμᾶς, Βαρθολομαῖος καὶ Μαθθαῖος, Ἰάκωβος Ἀλφαίου καὶ Σίμων ὁ ζηλωτὴς καὶ Ἰούδας Ἰακώβου.
that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
οὗτοι πάντες ἦσαν προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν τῇ προσευχῇ
These all were continually devoting themselves,with one mind, to prayer,
σὺν γυναιξὶν
along with the women,
καὶ Μαριὰμ τῇ μητρὶ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ
and Mary the mother of Jesus,
καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ.
and with His brothers.
Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ταύταις
At this time
ἀναστὰς Πέτρος
Peter stood up
ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν
in the midst of the brothers
εἶπεν
said
ἦν τε ὄχλος ὀνομάτων ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ὡσεὶ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι,
(a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together),
ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ἔδει πληρωθῆναι τὴν γραφὴν ἣν προεῖπεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον διὰ στόματος Δαυεὶδ περὶ Ἰούδα
"Brethren, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas,
τοῦ γενομένου ὁδηγοῦ τοῖς συλλαβοῦσιν Ἰησοῦν,
who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
ὅτι κατηριθμημένος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν καὶ ἔλαχεν τὸν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης.
"For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry."
οὗτος μὲν οὖν ἐκτήσατο χωρίον ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας, καὶ πρηνὴς γενόμενος ἐλάκησεν μέσος, καὶ ἐξεχύθη πάντα τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ.
(Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.
ὃ καὶ γνωστὸν ἐγένετο πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὥστε κληθῆναι τὸ χωρίον ἐκεῖνο τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ αὐτῶν Ἀχελδαμάχ, τοῦτ’ ἔστιν, χωρίον αἵματος.
And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
γέγραπται γὰρ ἐν βίβλῳ ψαλμῶν, γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ,
"For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'LET HIS HOMESTEAD BE MADE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE DWELL IN IT';
καί, τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λαβέτω ἕτερος.
and, 'LET ANOTHER MAN TAKE HIS OFFICE.'
δεῖ οὖν τῶν συνελθόντων ἡμῖν ἀνδρῶν ἐν παντὶ χρόνῳ ᾧ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ὁ κύριος Ἰησοῦς,
"Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--
ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τοῦ βαπτίσματος Ἰωάννου ἄχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνελήμφθη ἀφ’ ἡμῶν, μάρτυρα τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ σὺν ἡμῖν γενέσθαι ἕνα τούτων.
beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us-- one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."
Καὶ ἔστησαν δύο, Ἰωσὴφ τὸν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν, ὃς ἐπεκλήθη Ἰοῦστος, καὶ Μαθθίαν.
So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.
καὶ προσευξάμενοι εἶπαν, σὺ κύριε, καρδιογνῶστα πάντων, ἀνάδειξον ὃν ἐξελέξω ἐκ τούτων τῶν δύο ἕνα
And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen
λαβεῖν τὸν τόπον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης καὶ ἀποστολῆς, ἀφ’ ἧς παρέβη Ἰούδας πορευθῆναι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν ἴδιον.
to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."
καὶ ἔδωκαν κλήρους αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος ἐπὶ Μαθθίαν,
And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias;
καὶ συνκατεψηφίσθη μετὰ τῶν ἕνδεκα ἀποστόλων.
and he was added to the eleven apostles.

"For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry." i135947 i135897 οὗτος μὲν οὖν ἐκτήσατο χωρίον ἐκ μισθοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας, καὶ πρηνὴς γενόμενος ἐλάκησεν μέσος, καὶ ἐξεχύθη πάντα τὰ σπλάγχνα αὐτοῦ. (Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. i135898 ὃ καὶ γνωστὸν ἐγένετο πᾶσι τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὥστε κληθῆναι τὸ χωρίον ἐκεῖνο τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ αὐτῶν Ἀχελδαμάχ, τοῦτ’ ἔστιν, χωρίον αἵματος. And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) progression i135899 γέγραπται γὰρ ἐν βίβλῳ ψαλμῶν, γενηθήτω ἡ ἔπαυλις αὐτοῦ ἔρημος καὶ μὴ ἔστω ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν αὐτῇ, "For it is written in the book of Psalms, 'LET HIS HOMESTEAD BE MADE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE DWELL IN IT'; i135900 καί, τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λαβέτω ἕτερος. and, 'LET ANOTHER MAN TAKE HIS OFFICE.' progression i135948 i135901 δεῖ οὖν τῶν συνελθόντων ἡμῖν ἀνδρῶν ἐν παντὶ χρόνῳ ᾧ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ὁ κύριος Ἰησοῦς, "Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us-- i135902 ἀρξάμενος ἀπὸ τοῦ βαπτίσματος Ἰωάννου ἄχρι τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀνελήμφθη ἀφ’ ἡμῶν, μάρτυρα τῆς ἀναστάσεως αὐτοῦ σὺν ἡμῖν γενέσθαι ἕνα τούτων. beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us-- one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." actionresult 2 i135949 i135903 Καὶ ἔστησαν δύο, Ἰωσὴφ τὸν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν, ὃς ἐπεκλήθη Ἰοῦστος, καὶ Μαθθίαν. So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias. i135950 i135904 καὶ προσευξάμενοι εἶπαν, σὺ κύριε, καρδιογνῶστα πάντων, ἀνάδειξον ὃν ἐξελέξω ἐκ τούτων τῶν δύο ἕνα And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen i135905 λαβεῖν τὸν τόπον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης καὶ ἀποστολῆς, ἀφ’ ἧς παρέβη Ἰούδας πορευθῆναι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν ἴδιον. to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." i135906 καὶ ἔδωκαν κλήρους αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος ἐπὶ Μαθθίαν, And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; i135907 καὶ συνκατεψηφίσθη μετὰ τῶν ἕνδεκα ἀποστόλων. and he was added to the eleven apostles. progression 1 1 1 tisch 25 nasb 25 a 50 discourse
