Acts 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 Dear Theophilus, in the first volume of this book I wrote on everything that Jesus began to do and teach

2 until the day he said good-bye to the apostles, the ones he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven.

3 After his death, he presented himself alive to them in many different settings over a period of forty days. In face-to-face meetings, he talked to them about things concerning the kingdom of God.

4 As they met and ate meals together, he told them that they were on no account to leave Jerusalem but "must wait for what the Father promised: the promise you heard from me.

5 John baptized in water; you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit. And soon."

6 When they were together for the last time they asked, "Master, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time?"

7 He told them, "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business.

8 What you'll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world."

9 These were his last words. As they watched, he was taken up and disappeared in a cloud.

10 They stood there, staring into the empty sky. Suddenly two men appeared - in white robes!

11 They said, "You Galileans! - why do you just stand here looking up at an empty sky? This very Jesus who was taken up from among you to heaven will come as certainly - and mysteriously - as he left."

12 So they left the mountain called Olives and returned to Jerusalem. It was a little over half a mile.

13 They went to the upper room they had been using as a meeting place: Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James, son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, Judas, son of James.

14 They agreed they were in this for good, completely together in prayer, the women included. Also Jesus' mother, Mary, and his brothers. Replacing Judas

15 During this time, Peter stood up in the company - there were about one hundred twenty of them in the room at the time -

16 and said, "Friends, long ago the Holy Spirit spoke through David regarding Judas, who became the guide to those who arrested Jesus. That Scripture had to be fulfilled, and now has been.

17 Judas was one of us and had his assigned place in this ministry.

18 "As you know, he took the evil bribe money and bought a small farm. There he came to a bad end, rupturing his belly and spilling his guts.

19 Everybody in Jerusalem knows this by now; they call the place Murder Meadow.

20 It's exactly what we find written in the Psalms: Let his farm become haunted So no one can ever live there. "And also what was written later: Let someone else take over his post.

21 "Judas must now be replaced. The replacement must come from the company of men who stayed together with us

22 from the time Jesus was baptized by John up to the day of his ascension, designated along with us as a witness to his resurrection."

23 They nominated two: Joseph Barsabbas, nicknamed Justus, and Matthias.

24 Then they prayed, "You, O God, know every one of us inside and out. Make plain which of these two men you choose

25 to take the place in this ministry and leadership that Judas threw away in order to go his own way."

26 They then drew straws. Matthias won and was counted in with the eleven apostles.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus o Theophile quae coepit Iesus facere et docere

2 usque in diem qua praecipiens apostolis per Spiritum Sanctum quos elegit adsumptus est

3 quibus et praebuit se ipsum vivum post passionem suam in multis argumentis per dies quadraginta apparens eis et loquens de regno Dei

4 et convescens praecepit eis ab Hierosolymis ne discederent sed expectarent promissionem Patris quam audistis per os meum

5 quia Iohannes quidem baptizavit aqua vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies

6 igitur qui convenerant interrogabant eum dicentes Domine si in tempore hoc restitues regnum Israhel

7 dixit autem eis non est vestrum nosse tempora vel momenta quae Pater posuit in sua potestate

8 sed accipietis virtutem supervenientis Spiritus Sancti in vos et eritis mihi testes in Hierusalem et in omni Iudaea et Samaria et usque ad ultimum terrae

9 et cum haec dixisset videntibus illis elevatus est et nubes suscepit eum ab oculis eorum

10 cumque intuerentur in caelum eunte illo ecce duo viri adstiterunt iuxta illos in vestibus albis

11 qui et dixerunt viri galilaei quid statis aspicientes in caelum hic Iesus qui adsumptus est a vobis in caelum sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in caelum

12 tunc reversi sunt Hierosolymam a monte qui vocatur Oliveti qui est iuxta Hierusalem sabbati habens iter

13 et cum introissent in cenaculum ascenderunt ubi manebant Petrus et Iohannes Iacobus et Andreas Philippus et Thomas Bartholomeus et Mattheus Iacobus Alphei et Simon Zelotes et Iudas Iacobi

14 hii omnes erant perseverantes unianimiter in oratione cum mulieribus et Maria matre Iesu et fratribus eius

15 et in diebus illis exsurgens Petrus in medio fratrum dixit erat autem turba nominum simul fere centum viginti

16 viri fratres oportet impleri scripturam quam praedixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Iuda qui fuit dux eorum qui conprehenderunt Iesum

17 quia connumeratus erat in nobis et sortitus est sortem ministerii huius

18 et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis et suspensus crepuit medius et diffusa sunt omnia viscera eius

19 et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Hierusalem ita ut appellaretur ager ille lingua eorum Acheldemach hoc est ager Sanguinis

20 scriptum est enim in libro Psalmorum fiat commoratio eius deserta et non sit qui inhabitet in ea et episcopatum eius accipiat alius

21 oportet ergo ex his viris qui nobiscum congregati sunt in omni tempore quo intravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Iesus

22 incipiens a baptismate Iohannis usque in diem qua adsumptus est a nobis testem resurrectionis eius nobiscum fieri unum ex istis

23 et statuerunt duos Ioseph qui vocabatur Barsabban qui cognominatus est Iustus et Matthiam

24 et orantes dixerunt tu Domine qui corda nosti omnium ostende quem elegeris ex his duobus unum

25 accipere locum ministerii huius et apostolatus de quo praevaricatus est Iudas ut abiret in locum suum

26 et dederunt sortes eis et cecidit sors super Matthiam et adnumeratus est cum undecim apostolis
