Acts 1

1 The First Word indeed, I made around everything, Omega Friend of God ("Theophilus"), things which the Salvation began to both make and to teach,

On the Third One

2 until her whom, a day, he was taken up— he who has mandated the Sent Away Ones across through a spirit, a holy one, those whom he chose out,

τεκμηρίοις - Indubitable proofs, token signs

3 to those whom he also presented his own self, he who is living, beyond the Afflicting of Himself, within multitudes of token proofs¹ across through days of forty, he who is being seen by themselves and he who is speaking around the Queen of the God.
4 And he who is being collected together, he transmitted to themselves not to separate asunder away from Foundations of Peace ("Jerusalems"), but rather to wait for the Promise of the Father, her whom you heard of myself.
5 Because Favored ("John") indeed plunged yourselves with water, and within a spirit, a holy one, you all will be plunged, not beyond many days, these ones.
6 Those indeed therefore who have assembled together, they kept asking himself, those who are saying, "Master, if within the Chronological Time, this one, are you restoring back the Queen of the God Contends ("Israel")?"
7 And he said toward themselves, "It is not of yourselves to recognize chronological times or opportune times, those whom the Father has destined within her Own Authority.²
8 But you will lay hold of a powerful one, of that which has come of the Holy Spirit upon yourselves, and you will all be of myself, witnesses within both Foundation of Peace and within the entire Judean and Watch Tower, and until the uttermost of the Earth."

ἐπήρθη - Taken Up Lifted Up

9 And he who said these things, of those who are looking of themselves, he was lifted up, and a cloud mass bore himself up away from the Eyes of Themselves.³
10 And as those who are looking intently were being into the Heavenly One, of him who is leading across of himself, also behold! Two men had been standing beside themselves within bright white clothings!
11 Those who also spoke, "Men, Circuiters! Why do you stand, those who are looking intently into the Heavenly One? The Salvation, this one, the one who was taken up away from yourselves into the Heavenly One, he will come in this way in the manner which you beheld himself, he who is leading across into the Heavenly One!"
12 At that time they turned back around into Foundation of Peace, away from a mountain, the one which is being summoned Place of Olives, which is near Foundation of Peace, of a cessation which is holding a road.
13 And when they entered into the upper room, they climbed up where they were being, those who are remaining permanently, both the Small Stone and Favored, and Heel Chaser and Manhood, Horse Lover and Twin, Son of Furrows and He Is a Gift, Heel Chaser of Passing By, and Hearing the Zealot, and Caster of Heel Chaser.
14 All of these ones were being those who are adhering firmly unanimously to the Prayer united together with women, and Bitter Rebel, the Mother of the Salvation and united together with the Brothers of himself.
15 And within the Days, these ones, he who stood up, Small Stone, within the Middle of the Brothers said, a multitude of names was being also upon the Self as if one hundred twenty,

ὁδηγοῦ - Guide, Instructor, Leader of the Way

16 "Men, brothers! it was necessary for the Writing to have been filled up, her who the Spirit, the Holy One, spoke of beforehand across through a mouth of Beloved ("David") around Caster, the one who has become a conductor/guide to the ones who have collected together Salvation,
17 for he who has been counted was being within ourselves, and he was allotted the Lot of the Agency, this one.

Working for Hire for the Unjust One

18 This one, indeed therefore, earned a plot of ground from out of a wage of the Unjust One, and he who has become face down, he screamed/rang out in the Middle, and poured out all the Bowels of himself.⁴
19 And he has become known to all the ones who are settling Foundation of Peace, so as for the Plot, that one, to be called in their own discourse, Field of Blood ("Akeldama"). This one is a plot of ground of blood.
20 For he has been written/drawn within an inner bark of Psalms: Let become the Country House⁵ of himself a desolate one! and let him not be, the one who is living within herself! And let another one take hold of the Visitation of himself!
21 It is necessary therefore, of the ones who have come together to ourselves, of men within every chronological time, which he came in and went out upon ourselves, the Master, Salvation,
22 he who began away from the Plunging of Favored until the Day of whom he was taken up away from ourselves, for one of these ones to become a witness of the Standing Up of Himself in sync with ourselves."
23 And they made to stand two: He is Adding ("Joseph"), the one who is being summoned as Son of Seven ("Bar-sabbas"), him who was invoked as Just One ("Justus"), and Gift ("Matthias").

ἀνάδειξον - lift up and show, exhibit, display

24 And those who have offered prayers, they said, "Yourself, a master, a heart-knower of all, lift up and display one, him whom you have chosen out from these ones, the Two,
25 to take hold of the Position of the Agency, this one, and a sending away from her whom Caster ("Judas") over-stepped, to lead across into his Own Position."
26 And they gave lots to themselves, and the Lot fell upon Gift ("Matthias") and he was calculated together in company with the One and Ten sent away ones.
