Deeds (Act) of Apostles 1:3-18

³to whom he showed himself alive after his passion, by many arguments, or provings, appearing to them forty days, and speaking of the realm of God.

⁴And he ate with them, and commanded to them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but abide the promise of the Father, which ye heard, he said, by my mouth;

⁵for John baptized in water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Ghost, after these few days.

⁶Therefore they that were come together, asked him, and said, Lord, whether in this time thou shalt restore the kingdom of Israel? Therefore they that came together, asked him, saying, Lord, if in this time shalt thou restore the kingdom of Israel?

⁷And he said to them, It is not yours to know the times either moments, which the Father hath put in his power;

⁸but ye shall take the virtue of the Holy Ghost coming from above into you, and ye shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the utmost or the uttermost of the earth.

⁹And when he had said these things, in their sight he was lifted up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.

¹⁰And when they beheld him going into heaven, lo! two men stood beside them in white clothing,

¹¹and said, Men of Galilee, what stand ye beholding into heaven? This Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall come, as ye saw him going into heaven.

¹²Then they turned again to Jerusalem, from the hill that is called of Olivet, which is beside Jerusalem, an holiday’s journey or having the journey of a sabbath.

¹³And when they were entered into the house, where they dwelled, they went up into the solar, or into the higher things, Peter and John, and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas of James.

¹⁴All these were lastingly continuing or dwelling together with one will, in prayer, with women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁵In those days Peter rose up in the middle of the brethren, and said; and there was a company of men together, almost an hundred and twenty;

¹⁶Brethren, it behooveth that the scripture be ful filled, which the Holy Ghost before-said by the mouth of David, of Judas that was leader of them that took Jesus;

¹⁷and was numbered among us, and got a part of this service or this ministry.

¹⁸And this Judas had a field of the hire of wickedness, and he was hanged, and burst apart the middle, and all his entrails were shed abroad.
