Acts 1:1 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 Theophilus, I wrote about Jesus in my earlier book. I wrote about all he did and taught
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. Before Jesus left, he gave orders to the apostles he had chosen. He did this through the Holy Spirit.
3 After his suffering and death, he appeared to them. In many ways he proved that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of 40 days. During that time he spoke about God's kingdom.
4 One day Jesus was eating with them. He gave them a command. "Do not leave Jerusalem," he said. "Wait for the gift my Father promised. You have heard me talk about it.
5 John baptized with water. But in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
6 When the apostles met together, they asked Jesus a question. "Lord," they said, "are you going to give the kingdom back to Israel now?"
7 He said to them, "You should not be concerned about times or dates. The Father has set them by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. Then you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem. You will be my witnesses in all Judea and Samaria. And you will be my witnesses from one end of the earth to the other."
9 After Jesus said this, he was taken up to heaven. They watched until a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 While he was going up, they kept on looking at the sky. Suddenly two men dressed in white clothing stood beside them.
11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking at the sky? Jesus has been taken away from you into heaven. But he will come back in the same way you saw him go."
12 The apostles returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives. It is almost a mile from the city.
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Peter, John, James and Andrew were there. Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew were there too. So were James, son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas, son of James.
14 They all came together regularly to pray. The women joined them too. So did Jesus' mother Mary and his brothers.
15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers. About 120 of them were there.
16 Peter said, "Brothers, a long time ago the Holy Spirit spoke through David's mouth about Judas. What he said in Scripture had to come true. Judas was the guide for the men who arrested Jesus.
17 But Judas was one of us. He shared with us in our work for God."
18 Judas bought a field with the reward he got for the evil thing he had done. He fell down headfirst in the field. His body burst open. All his insides spilled out.
19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this. So they called that field Akeldama. In their language, Akeldama means The Field of Blood.
20 Peter said, "Here is what is written in the book of Psalms. It says, " 'May his home be deserted. May no one live in it.' --(Psalm 69:25) The Psalms also say, " 'Let someone else take his place as leader.' --(Psalm 109:8)
21 So we need to choose someone to take his place. It will have to be a man who was with us the whole time the Lord Jesus lived among us.
22 That time began when John was baptizing. It ended when Jesus was taken up from us. The one we choose must join us in giving witness that Jesus rose from the dead."
23 So they suggested two men. One was Joseph, who was called Barsabbas. He was also called Justus. The other man was Matthias.
24 Then they prayed. "Lord," they said, "you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen.
25 Show us who should take the place of Judas as an apostle. He gave up being an apostle to go where he belongs."
26 Then they cast lots. Matthias was chosen. So he was added to the 11 apostles.

4 And G2532 CONJ , being assembled together with G4871 V-PNP-NSM them , commanded G3853 V-AAI-3S them G846 P-DPM that they should not G3361 PRT-N depart G5563 V-PPN from G575 PREP Jerusalem G2414 N-GPN , but G235 CONJ wait for G4037 V-PAN the G3588 T-ASF promise G1860 N-ASF of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM Father G3962 N-GSM , which G3739 R-ASF , saith he , ye have heard G191 V-AAI-2P of me G3450 P-1GS .
5 For G3754 CONJ John G2491 N-NSM truly G3303 PRT baptized G907 V-AAI-3S with water G5204 N-DSN ; but G1161 CONJ ye G5210 P-2NP shall be baptized G907 V-FPI-2P with G1722 PREP the Holy G40 A-DSN Ghost G4151 N-DSN not G3756 PRT-N many G4183 A-APF days G2250 N-APF hence G5025 .
6 When they G3588 T-NPM therefore G3767 CONJ were come together G4905 V-2AAP-NPM , they asked G1905 V-IAI-3P of him G846 P-ASM , saying G3004 V-PAP-NPM , Lord G2962 N-VSM , wilt thou G1487 COND at G1722 PREP this G3588 T-DSM time G5550 N-DSM restore again G600 V-PAI-2S the G3588 T-ASF kingdom G932 N-ASF to Israel G2474 N-PRI ?
7 And G1161 CONJ he said G2036 V-2AAI-3S unto G4314 PREP them G846 P-APM , It is G2076 V-PXI-3S not G3756 PRT-N for you G5216 P-2GP to know G1097 V-2AAN the times G5550 N-APM or G2228 PRT the seasons G2540 N-APM , which G3739 R-APM the G3588 T-NSM Father G3962 N-NSM hath put G5087 V-2AMI-3S in G1722 PREP his own G2398 A-DSF power G1849 N-DSF .
8 But G235 CONJ ye shall receive G2983 V-FDI-2P power G1411 N-ASF , after that G3588 T-GSN the G3588 T-GSN Holy G40 A-GSN Ghost G4151 N-GSN is come G1904 V-2AAP-GSN upon G1909 PREP you G5209 P-2AP : and G2532 CONJ ye shall be G2071 V-FXI-2P witnesses G3144 N-NPM unto me G3427 P-1DS both G5037 PRT in G1722 PREP Jerusalem G2419 N-PRI , and G2532 CONJ in G1722 PREP all G3956 A-DSF Judea G2449 N-DSF , and G2532 CONJ in Samaria G4540 N-DSF , and G2532 CONJ unto G2193 CONJ the uttermost part G2078 A-GSM of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF earth G1093 N-GSF .
9 And G2532 CONJ when he had spoken G2036 V-2AAP-NSM these things G5023 D-APN , while they G846 P-GPM beheld G991 V-PAP-GPM , he was taken up G1869 V-API-3S ; and G2532 CONJ a cloud G3507 N-NSF received G5274 V-2AAI-3S him G846 P-ASM out of G575 PREP their G3588 T-GPM sight G3788 N-GPM .
10 And G2532 CONJ while G5613 ADV they looked steadfastly G2258 V-IXI-3P toward G1519 PREP heaven G3772 N-ASM as he G846 P-GSM went up G4198 V-PNP-GSM , behold G2400 V-2AAM-2S , two G1417 A-NUI men G435 N-NPM stood by G3936 V-LAI-3P them G846 P-DPM in G1722 PREP white G3022 A-DSF apparel G2066 N-DSF ;
11 Which G3739 R-NPM also G2532 CONJ said G2036 V-2AAI-3P , Ye men G435 N-VPM of Galilee G1057 N-VPM , why G5101 I-ASN stand G2476 V-RAI-2P ye gazing up G1689 V-PAP-NPM into G1519 PREP heaven G3772 N-ASM ? this G3588 T-NSM same G3588 T-NSM Jesus G2424 N-NSM , which is taken up G353 V-APP-NSM from G575 PREP you G5216 P-2GP into G1519 PREP heaven G3772 N-ASM , shall so G3779 ADV come G2064 V-FDI-3S in like manner G5158 N-ASM as ye have seen G2300 V-ADI-2P him G846 P-ASM go G4198 V-PNP-ASM into G1519 PREP heaven G3772 N-ASM .

23 And G2532 CONJ they appointed G2476 V-2AAI-3P two G1417 A-NUI , Joseph G2501 N-PRI called G2564 V-PPP-ASM Barsabas G923 N-ASM , who G3739 R-NSM was surnamed G1941 V-API-3S Justus G2459 N-NSM , and G2532 CONJ Matthias G3159 N-ASM .
24 And G2532 CONJ they prayed G4336 V-ADP-NPM , and said G2036 V-2AAI-3P , Thou G4771 P-2NS , Lord G2962 N-VSM , which knowest the hearts G2589 N-VSM of all G3956 A-GPM men , show G322 V-AAM-2S whether G3739 R-ASM of G1537 PREP these G3588 T-GPM two G1417 A-NUI thou hast chosen G1586 V-AMI-2S ,
