[1]The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, |
| [2]Untyll the day in which he was take vp, after that he through the holy ghost, had geuen commaundementes vnto the Apostles, whom he had chosen |
[2]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: |
| [3]To whom also he shewed hym selfe alyue after his passion, and that by manye tokens, appearyng vnto them fourtie dayes, and speaking of the kingdome of God |
[3]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: |
| [4]And gatheryng them together, commaunded them that they shoulde not depart from Hierusalem, but wayte for the promise of the father, wherof [saith he] ye haue hearde of me |
[4]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. |
| [5]For Iohn truely baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy ghost, after these fewe dayes |
[5]For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. |
| [6]When they therfore were come together, they asked of hym, saying: Lorde, wylt thou at this tyme restore agayne the kyngdome to Israel |
[6]When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? |
| [7]And he sayde vnto them: It is not for you to knowe the tymes, or the seasons, which the father hath put in his owne power |
[7]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. |
| [8]But ye shall receaue power, after that the holy ghost is come vpon you: And ye shalbe witnesses vnto me, both in Hierusalem, and in al Iurie, & in Samarie, and euen vnto the worldes ende |
[8]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. |
| [9]And when he had spoken these thynges, whyle they behelde, he was taken vp an hye, and a cloude receaued hym vp out of their syght |
[9]And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. |
| [10]And while they loked stedfastly vp towarde heaue, as he went, beholde, two men stoode by them in whyte apparell |
[10]And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; |
| [11]Which also sayde: Ye men of Galilee, why stande ye gasyng vp into heauen? This same Iesus, which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, euen as ye haue seene hym go into heauen |
[11]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. |
| [12]Then returned they vnto Hierusalem, from the mount that is called Oliuete, which is from Hierusalem a Sabboth dayes iourney |
[12]Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. |

[13]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. |
| [14]These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren |

[15]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,) |
| [16]Ye men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue ben fulfylled, which the holy ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that toke Iesus |
[16]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. |

| [18]And the same hath nowe purchased a fielde, with the rewarde of iniquitie? And when he was hanged, he burst a sunder in the middes, & all his bowels gusshed out |
[18]Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. |
| [19]And it is knowen vnto all the dwellers at Hierusalem, in so much that the same fielde is called in their mother tongue, Aceldema, that is to saye, the blood fielde |
[19]And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. |
| [20]For it is written in ye booke of psalmes: Let his habitation be desert, and no man be dwellyng therein: And his bishopricke let another take |
[20]For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. |
| [21]Wherfore, of these men which haue companyed with vs, all the tyme that the Lorde Iesus went in and out among vs |
[21]Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, |
| [22]Begynnyng from the baptisme of Iohn, vnto that same day that he was take vp from vs, must one be ordeyned, to be a witnesse with vs of his resurrection |
[22]Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. |

| [25]That he may take the rowme of this ministerie and Apostleship, from which Iudas by transgression fell, that he myght go to his owne place |
[25]That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. |
