Book 44 Acts
44:001:001 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus,
of all that
Jesus
began both to do and teach,
44:001:002 Until the day in which he was taken up,
after that he through
the
Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles
whom
he
had chosen:
44:001:003 To whom also he shewed himself alive after
his passion by many
infallible
proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking
of
the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
44:001:004 And, being assembled together with them,
commanded them that
they
should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
promise
of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
44:001:005 For John truly baptized with water; but
ye shall be baptized
with
the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
44:001:006 When they therefore were come together,
they asked of him,
saying,
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom
to
Israel?
44:001:007 And he said unto them, It is not for you
to know the times or
the
seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
44:001:008 But ye shall receive power, after that
the Holy Ghost is come
upon
you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem,
and
in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part
of
the earth.
44:001:009 And when he had spoken these things, while
they beheld, he was
taken
up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
44:001:010 And while they looked stedfastly toward
heaven as he went up,
behold,
two men stood by them in white apparel;
44:001:011 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why
stand ye gazing up
into
heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you
into
heaven,
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go
into
heaven.
44:001:012 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from
the mount called
Olivet,
which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
44:001:013 And when they were come in, they went up
into an upper room,
where
abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,
Philip,
and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son
of
Alphaeus,
and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
44:001:014 These all continued with one accord in
prayer and
supplication,
with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus,
and
with his brethren.
44:001:015 And in those days Peter stood up in the
midst of the
disciples,
and said, (the number of names together were about
an
hundred and twenty,)
44:001:016 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs
have been
fulfilled,
which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake
before
concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took
Jesus.
