\subsection{Acts 1}
\VS{1} I indeed did the first account concerning everything, O
Theophilos\footnote{means ``lover of God''}, which Jesus began to be doing
and teaching,
\VS{2} until which day, having commanded the apostles through
the Holy Spirit whom he chose, he was taken up,
\VS{3} to whom he also presented himself zoe-living\fnZoe{} with many proofs
after the [things] he suffered, appearing
to them for forty days and saying [things] concerning the kingdom of God;
\VS{4} and assembling\footnote{or ``eating''} with [them] he commanded
them to not be departing from Jerusalem, but to await the father's promise
which you heard from me;
\VS{5} because John on the one hand baptized with\footnote{or
``in''} water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit after these not many days.
\VS{6} Indeed therefore, having gathered, they were asking\fnErotao{} him saying:
Lord, do you restore in this time the kingdom to Israel?
\VS{7} He said to them, It is not yours to know [the] time or
[the] season\fnKairos{} which the father has established by his own
authority,
\VS{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\footnote{or ``until''} the end of the earth\fnGe{}.
\VS{9} And having said these [things], while they were watching he was taken up, and [a] cloud
received him from their eyes.
\VS{10} And as they were looking intently into
heaven while he was going, behold also two men stood by them in white
clothing,
\VS{11} and they said: Galileean men, why do you stand looking
into heaven? This Jesus, the [one] having been taken up from you into heaven,
will thus come [to] what place you have beheld him going to heaven.
\VS{12} Then
they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain being called [Mount] of Olives, which
is near Jerusalem having [a] Sabbath's travel.
\VS{15} And when they went in,
they went up into the upper room where they were staying, who [were] Peter and
John and James and Andrew, Phillip and Thomas, Bartholemew and Matthew,
James [son] of Alphaius and Simon the Zealot and Judas [son]\footnote{or
``[brother]''} of James.
\VS{14} These all were persisting with one purpose in prayer
with [the] women and Mariam the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.
\VS{15} And in these days Peter having stood in [the] midst of the brothers,
[the] crowd from report was altogether [about] [a] hundred twenty, said:
\VS{16} Men, brothers, it was necessary the scripture be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit
foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas when he became leader
of those arresting Jesus,
\VS{17} that he was counted among them and received the portion of this service.
\VS{18} This [one] indeed therefore
acquired [a] field from [the] reward\footnote{or ``treasure''} of injustice, and
having become headlong, he burst apart midway, and all his guts were poured
out.
\VS{19} And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that
this field was called in their own dialect Akeldamach, which is Field of
Blood.
\VS{20} For it is written in [the] scroll of Psalms\footnote{Ps.69:25},
\begin{verse}
Let\fnImperative{} his habitation become [a] wilderness \\
And let\fnImperative{} there not be [any] dwelling in it.
\end{verse}
And\footnote{Ps.109:8},
\begin{verse}
Let\fnImperative{} another receive his overseership.
\end{verse}
\VS{21} It is therefore necessary from [among] those men having gathered to us in
every time with whom the Lord Jesus went in and went out upon us,
\VS{22} beginning from the baptism of John until the day which he was received up
from us, witnesses of his resurrection with us, [for there] to come one from these.
\VS{23} And two stood, Joseph the [one] being called Barsabbas, who was named
Justus, and Matthias.
\VS{24} And having prayed they said: You Lord,
heart-knower of everyone, reveal which one of these two I should choose
\VS{25} to take the place of this service and apostleship, from which Judas
turned aside to his own place.
\VS{26} And he gave them lots, and the lot
fell upon Matthias, and he was added with the eleven apostles.
