Acts of the Jewish Apostles 1-2
Act 1:1 The first account I made, O Theophilos, of all that יהושע began both to do and to teach,
Act 1:2 until the day when He was taken up, after giving instructions through the Ruach HaKodesh to the emissaries whom He had chosen,
Act 1:3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for forty days, speaking concerning the reign of Elohim.
Act 1:4 And meeting with them, He commanded them not to leave Yerushalayim, but to wait for the Promise of the Father,1 “which you have heard from Me – Footnote: 1Lk. 24:49, John 14:16 & 26.
Act 1:5 because Yochanan truly immersed in water, but you shall be immersed in the Ruach HaKodesh not many days from now.”
Act 1:6 So when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Master, would You at this time restore the reign to Yisra’ĕl?”1 Footnote: 1Lk. 1:33.
Act 1:7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.
Act 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Ruach HaKodesh has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Yerushalayim, and in all Yehuḏah and Shomeron, and to the end of the earth.”
Act 1:9 And having said this, while they were looking on, He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
Act 1:10 And as they were gazing into the heaven as He went up, see, two men stood by them dressed in white,
Act 1:11 who also said, “Men of Galil, why do you stand looking up into the heaven? This same יהושע, who was taken up from you into the heaven, shall come in the same way1 as you saw Him go into the heaven.” Footnote: 1Zech. 14:4.
Act 1:12 Then they went back to Yerushalayim from the Mount of Olives, which is near Yerushalayim, a Sabbath day’s journey.
Act 1:13 And when they came in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: both Kĕpha and Ya`akov̱ and Yochanan and Andri, Philip and T’oma, Bartholomi and Mattityahu, Ya`akov̱ the son of Alphai and Shim`on the Zealot, and Yehuḏah the son of Ya`akov̱.
Act 1:14 All these were continuing with one mind in prayer and supplication, with the women and Miryam the mother of יהושע, and with His brothers.
Act 1:15 And in those days Kĕpha, standing up in the midst of the taught ones – and there was a gathering of about a hundred and twenty – said,
Act 1:16 “Men and brothers, this Scripture had to be filled which the Ruach HaKodesh spoke before by the mouth of Dawiḏ concerning Yehuḏah, who became a guide to those who seized יהושע,
Act 1:17 because he was numbered with us and did receive his share in this service.”
Act 1:18 (This one, therefore, purchased a field with the wages of unrighteousness, and falling forward, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.
Act 1:19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Yerushalayim, so that in their own language that field was called, Ḥaqal Dema, that is, Field of Blood).
Act 1:20 “For it has been written in the sefer Tehillim, ‘Let his dwelling lie waste, and let no one live in it,’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
Act 1:21 “It is therefore necessary that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Master יהושע went in and out among us,
Act 1:22 beginning from the immersion of Yochanan to that day when He was taken up from us, that one of these should become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
Act 1:23 And they put forward two: Yosĕph called Barsabba, who was also called Justus, and Mattityahu.
Act 1:24 And praying they said, “You, יהוה, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two You have chosen
Act 1:25 to receive the share in this service and office of the emissary from which Yehuḏah by transgression fell, to go to his own place.”
Act 1:26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Mattityahu. And he was numbered with the eleven emissaries.
Act 2:1 And when the Day of Shavu’ot had come, they were all with one mind in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them.
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh and began to speak with other tongues, as the Ruach gave them to speak.
Act 2:5 Now in Yerushalayim there were dwelling Yehuḏim, dedicated men from every nation under the heaven.
Act 2:6 And when this sound came to be, the crowd came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.
Act 2:7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to each other, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?
Act 2:8 “And how do we hear, each one in our own language in which we were born?
Act 2:9 “Parthians and Medes and Ěylamites, and those dwelling in Aram Naharayim, both Yehuḏah and Kappadokia, Pontos and Asia,
Act 2:10 both Phrygia and Pamphulia, Mitsrayim and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Yehuḏim and converts,
Act 2:11 “Cretans and Arabs, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great deeds of Elohim.”
Act 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were puzzled, saying to each other, “What does this mean?”
Act 2:13 And others mocking said, “They have been filled with sweet wine.”
Act 2:14 But Kĕpha, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, “Men of Yehuḏah and all those dwelling in Yerushalayim, let this be known to you, and listen closely to my words.
Act 2:15 “For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, since it is only the third hour of the day.
Act 2:16 “But this is what was spoken by the prophet Yo’ĕl:
Act 2:17 ‘And it shall be in the last days, says Elohim, that I shall pour out of My breath on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams,
Act 2:18 and also on My male servants and on My female servants I shall pour out My breath in those days, and they shall prophesy.
Act 2:19 ‘And I shall show wonders in the heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
Act 2:20 ‘The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and fearful day of יהוה.
Act 2:21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.’1 Footnote: 1Joel 2:28-32, Rom. 10:13.
Act 2:22 “Men of Yisra’ĕl, hear these words: יהושע of Natzeret, a Man from Elohim, having been pointed out to you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs which Elohim did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know,
Act 2:23 this One, given up by the set purpose and foreknowledge of Elohim, you have impaled and put to death through the hands of lawless men –
Act 2:24 “Him Elohim raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was impossible that He could be held in its grip.
Act 2:25 “For Dawiḏ says concerning Him, ‘I saw יהוה before me continually, because He is at my right hand, in order that I should not be shaken.
Act 2:26 ‘For this reason my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and now my flesh shall also rest in expectation,
Act 2:27 because You shall not leave my being in Sh’ol, nor shall You give Your Kadosh One to see corruption.
Act 2:28 ‘You have made known to me the ways of life, You shall fill me with joy in Your presence.’1 Footnote: 1Ps. 16:8-11.
Act 2:29 “Men and brothers, let me speak boldly to you of the ancestor Dawiḏ, that he died and was buried,1 and his tomb is with us to this day. Footnote: 1See v. 34.
Act 2:30 “Being a prophet, then, and knowing that Elohim had sworn with an oath to him: of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Mashiach to sit on his throne,
Act 2:31 foreseeing this he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Mashiach, that His being was neither left in the grave, nor did His flesh see corruption.
Act 2:32 “Elohim has raised up this יהושע, of which we are all witnesses.
Act 2:33 “Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of Elohim, and having received from the Father the promise of the Ruach HaKodesh, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
Act 2:34 “For Dawiḏ did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself said, ‘יהוה said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand,
Act 2:35 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” ’1 Footnote: 1Ps. 110:1.
Act 2:36 “Therefore let all the house of Yisra’ĕl know for certain that Elohim has made this יהושע, whom you impaled, both Master and Mashiach.”
Act 2:37 And having heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Kĕpha and the rest of the emissaries, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”
Act 2:38 And Kĕpha said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of יהושע Mashiach for the forgiveness of sins.1 And you shall receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh. Footnote: 1See 2:40, 3:19, 3:26.
Act 2:39 “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, as many as יהוה our Elohim shall call.”
Act 2:40 And with many other words he earnestly witnessed and urged them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”1 Footnote: 1Jer. 51:6, Phil. 2:15, Rev. 18:4.
Act 2:41 Then those, indeed, who gladly received his word, were immersed. And on that day about three thousand beings were added to them.
Act 2:42 And they were continuing steadfastly in the teaching of the emissaries, and in the fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers.
Act 2:43 And fear came upon every being, and many wonders and signs were being done through the emissaries.
Act 2:44 And all those who believed were together, and had all in common,
Act 2:45 and sold their possessions and property, and divided them among all, as anyone might have need.
Act 2:46 And day by day, continuing with one mind in the Kadosh Place, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,
Act 2:47 praising Elohim and having favor with all the people. And the Master added to the assembly those who were to be saved, day by day.
