Деяния Апостолов 1

1 Первое убо слово сотворих о всех, о, феофиле, яже начат Иисус творити же и учити2 даже до дне, в оньже, заповедав апостолом Духом святым, ихже избра, вознесеся:3 пред нимиже и постави себе жива по страдании своем во мнозех истинных знамениих, деньми четыредесятьми являяся им и глаголя яже о Царствии Божии:4 с нимиже и ядый повеле им от Иерусалима не отлучатися, но ждати обетования Отча, еже слышасте от мене:5 яко иоанн убо крестил есть водою, вы же имате креститися Духом святым не по мнозех сих днех.6 Они же убо сошедшеся вопрошаху его, глаголюще: Господи, аще в лето сие устрояеши царствие израилево?7 Рече же к ним: несть ваше разумети времена и лета, яже Отец положи во своей власти:8 но приимете силу, нашедшу святому Духу на вы, и будете ми свидетелие во Иерусалиме же и во всей иудеи и самарии и даже до последних земли.9 И сия рек, зрящым им взятся, и облак подят его от очию их.10 И егда взирающе бяху на небо, идущу ему, и се, мужа два стаста пред ними во одежди беле,11 яже и рекоста: мужие галилейстии, что стоите зряще на небо? сей Иисус, вознесыйся от вас на небо, такожде приидет, имже образом видесте его идуща на небо.12 Тогда возвратишася во Иерусалим от горы нарицаемыя елеон, яже есть близ Иерусалима, субботы имущия путь.13 И егда внидоша, взыдоша на горницу, идеже бяху пребывающе, петр же и иаков, и иоанн и андрей, филипп и фома, варфоломей и матфей, иаков алфеов и симон зилот и иуда иаковль:14 сии вси бяху терпяще единодушно в молитве и молении, с женами и Мариею Материю Иисусовою и с братиею его.15 И во дни тыя востав петр посреде ученик, рече,16 бе же имен народа вкупе яко сто и двадесять: мужие братие, подобаше скончатися писанию сему, еже предрече Дух святый усты давидовыми о иуде, бывшем вожди емшым Иисуса:17 яко причтен бе с нами и приял бяше жребий службы сея:18 сей убо стяжа село от мзды неправедныя, и ниц быв проседеся посреде, и излияся вся утроба его:19 и разумно бысть всем живущым во Иерусалиме, яко нарещися селу тому своим их языком акелдама, еже есть село крове:20 пишется бо в книзе псаломстей: да будет двор его пуст, и да не будет живущаго в нем, и епископство его да приимет ин:21 подобает убо от сходившихся с нами мужей во всяко лето, в неже вниде и изыде в нас Господь Иисус,22 начен от крещения иоаннова даже до дне, в оньже вознесеся (на небо) от нас, свидетелю воскресения его быти с нами единому от сих.23 И поставиша два, иосифа нарицаемаго варсаву, иже наречен бысть иуст, и матфиа,24 и помолившеся реша: ты, Господи, сердцеведче всех, покажи, егоже избрал еси от сею двою единаго,25 прияти жребий служения сего и апостолства, из негоже испаде иуда, ити в место свое.26 И даша жребия има, и паде жребий на матфиа, и причтен бысть ко единонадесяти апостолом.

Acts 1

Jesus Ascends to Heaven

1 I wrotet the formert account,ts Theophilus,t about all that Jesus began to do and teach2 until the day he was taken up to heaven,t after he had given orderst byt the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.3 To the same apostlest also, after his suffering,s he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs. He was seen by them over a forty-day periodt and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God.4 While he was with them,t he declared,t “Do not leave Jerusalem,s but wait theret for what myt Father promised,t which you heard about from me.t

5 Fort John baptized with water, but yout will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 So when they had gathered together, they began to ask him,t “Lord, is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?”7 He told them, “You are not permitted to knowt the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority.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 the farthest partst of the earth.”9 Aftert he had said this, while they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud hid him from their sight.10 Ast they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenlyt two men in white clothing stood near them

11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand heret looking up into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heavenst will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”

A Replacement for Judas is Chosen

12 Then they returned to Jerusalems from the mountaint called the Mount of Olivess (which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journeys away).13 Whent they had entered Jerusalem,t they went to the upstairs room where they were staying. Peters and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James were there.t14 All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.s15 In those dayst Peter stood up among the believerst (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty people) and said,16 “Brothers,t the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold throught David concerning Judas – who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus –17 for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.”t18 (Now this man Judast acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed,t and falling headfirstt he burst open in the middle and all his intestinest gushed out.19 Thist became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own languages they called that fieldtHakeldama, that is, “Field of Blood.”)20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his house become deserted,tand let there be no one to live in it,’s and ‘Let another take his position of responsibility.’ts21 Thus one of the ment who have accompanied us during all the time the Lord Jesus associated witht us,22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day het was taken up from us – one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.”23 So theys proposed two candidates:t Joseph called Barsabbas (also called Justus) and Matthias.24 Then they prayed,t “Lord, you know the hearts of all. Show us which one of these two you have chosen25 to assume the taskt of this servicet and apostleship from which Judas turned asidet to go to his own place.”s

26 Thent they cast lots for them, and the one chosen was Matthias;t so he was counted with the eleven apostles.t
