1Den ersten Bericht habe ich gegeben, lieber Theophilus, von all dem, was Jesus von Anfang an tat und lehrte (Lk 1,3)2bis zu dem Tag, an dem er aufgenommen wurde, nachdem er den Aposteln, die er erwählt hatte, durch den Heiligen Geist Weisung gegeben hatte. (Mt 28,18; Lk 6,13)3Ihnen zeigte er sich nach seinem Leiden durch viele Beweise als der Lebendige und ließ sich sehen unter ihnen vierzig Tage lang und redete mit ihnen vom Reich Gottes.4Und als er mit ihnen beim Mahl war, befahl er ihnen, Jerusalem nicht zu verlassen, sondern zu warten auf die Verheißung des Vaters, die ihr – so sprach er – von mir gehört habt; (Lk 24,49; Apg 2,33; Apg 2,39)5denn Johannes hat mit Wasser getauft, ihr aber sollt mit dem Heiligen Geist getauft werden nicht lange nach diesen Tagen. (Lk 3,16; Apg 11,16)6Die nun zusammengekommen waren, fragten ihn und sprachen: Herr, wirst du in dieser Zeit wieder aufrichten das Reich für Israel? (Lk 19,11; Lk 24,21)7Er sprach aber zu ihnen: Es gebührt euch nicht, Zeit oder Stunde zu wissen, die der Vater in seiner Macht bestimmt hat; (Mt 24,36)8aber ihr werdet die Kraft des Heiligen Geistes empfangen, der auf euch kommen wird, und werdet meine Zeugen sein in Jerusalem und in ganz Judäa und Samarien und bis an das Ende der Erde. (Lk 24,47; Apg 8,1)9Und als er das gesagt hatte, wurde er vor ihren Augen emporgehoben, und eine Wolke nahm ihn auf, weg vor ihren Augen. (Mk 16,19; Lk 24,51)10Und als sie ihm nachsahen, wie er gen Himmel fuhr, siehe, da standen bei ihnen zwei Männer in weißen Gewändern. (Lk 24,4)11Die sagten: Ihr Männer von Galiläa, was steht ihr da und seht gen Himmel? Dieser Jesus, der von euch weg gen Himmel aufgenommen wurde, wird so wiederkommen, wie ihr ihn habt gen Himmel fahren sehen. (Lk 21,27)12Da kehrten sie nach Jerusalem zurück von dem Berg, der Ölberg heißt und nahe bei Jerusalem liegt, einen Sabbatweg[1] entfernt. (Lk 24,52)13Und als sie hineinkamen, stiegen sie hinauf in das Obergemach des Hauses, wo sie sich aufzuhalten pflegten: Petrus, Johannes, Jakobus und Andreas, Philippus und Thomas, Bartholomäus und Matthäus, Jakobus, der Sohn des Alphäus, und Simon der Zelot und Judas, der Sohn des Jakobus. (Lk 6,13)14Diese alle hielten einmütig fest am Gebet samt den Frauen und Maria, der Mutter Jesu, und seinen Brüdern. (Joh 7,3)
Die Nachwahl des zwölften Apostels
15Und in diesen Tagen trat Petrus auf unter den Brüdern – es war aber eine Menge beisammen von etwa hundertzwanzig – und sprach: (Joh 21,15)16Ihr Männer, liebe Brüder, es musste das Wort der Schrift erfüllt werden, das der Heilige Geist durch den Mund Davids vorausgesagt hat über Judas, der denen den Weg zeigte, die Jesus gefangen nahmen; (Ps 41,10; Lk 22,47)17denn er wurde zu uns gezählt und hatte Anteil am gleichen Dienst.18Der erwarb einen Acker von dem ungerechten Lohn und stürzte vornüber und barst mitten entzwei, und alle seine Eingeweide quollen hervor. (Mt 26,15; Mt 27,3; Weis 4,19)19Und es ist allen bekannt geworden, die in Jerusalem wohnen, sodass dieser Acker in ihrer Sprache genannt wird: Hakeldamach, das heißt Blutacker.20Denn es steht geschrieben im Buch der Psalmen: »Seine Behausung soll verwüstet werden, und niemand wohne darin«, und: »Sein Amt empfange ein andrer.«21So muss nun einer von den Männern, die bei uns gewesen sind die ganze Zeit über, als der Herr Jesus unter uns ein und aus gegangen ist – (Joh 15,27)22seit seiner Taufe durch Johannes bis zu dem Tag, an dem er von uns genommen wurde –, mit uns Zeuge seiner Auferstehung werden. (Apg 2,32)23Und sie stellten zwei auf: Josef, genannt Barsabbas, mit dem Beinamen Justus, und Matthias,24und beteten und sprachen: Herr, der du aller Herzen kennst, zeige an, welchen du erwählt hast von diesen beiden, (Apg 6,6)25dass er diesen Dienst und das Apostelamt empfange, das Judas verlassen hat, um an seinen Ort zu gehen.26Und sie warfen das Los über sie und das Los fiel auf Matthias; und er wurde hinzugezählt zu den elf Aposteln. (Ri 21,17; Spr 16,33)
Apostelgeschichte 1
King James Version
1The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,2Until 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:3To 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:4And, 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.5For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?7And 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.8But 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.9And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;11Which 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.12Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.13And 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.14These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.15And 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,)16Men 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.17For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.18Now 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.19And 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.20For 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.21Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,22Beginning 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.23And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.24And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,25That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.26And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
1In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, (Lk 1,3; Lk 24,19)2until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. (Mt 28,19; Mk 16,15; Mk 16,19; Lk 4,1; Lk 4,18; Lk 24,47; Joh 20,21; Joh 20,22; Apg 10,38; Apg 10,42)3He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. (Mt 28,17; Mk 16,14; Lk 24,34; Lk 24,36; Joh 20,19; Joh 20,21; Apg 10,40; Apg 13,31; 1Kor 15,5)4And while staying[1] with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; (Lk 24,49)5for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with[2] the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” (Mt 3,11; Apg 2,1; Apg 11,16)
12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. (Lk 24,50; Lk 24,52)13And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. (Mt 10,2; Mk 3,16; Lk 6,14; Apg 9,37; Apg 9,39; Apg 20,8; Apg 21,20)14All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.[3] (Mt 12,46; Lk 8,2; Apg 2,42; Apg 2,46; Apg 4,24; Apg 5,12; Apg 6,4; Apg 15,25; Röm 12,12; Röm 15,6; Eph 6,18; Kol 4,2)15In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, (Joh 21,23)16“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. (Mt 26,47; Mk 14,43; Lk 22,37; Lk 22,47; Lk 24,44; Joh 18,3)17For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” (Joh 6,71; Joh 13,21; Apg 1,25; Apg 20,24; Apg 21,19; Röm 11,13; 2Kor 4,1)18(Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong[4] he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. (Mt 26,14; Mt 27,5)19And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) (Apg 21,40)20“For it is written in the Book of Psalms, “‘May his camp become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in it’; and “‘Let another take his office.’ (Ps 69,25; Ps 109,8)21So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, (4Mo 27,17; 5Mo 31,2; 1Sam 18,13; Joh 15,27)22beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” (Mk 1,1; Lk 24,48; Apg 1,2; Apg 1,8; Apg 1,9; Apg 4,33; Apg 13,24; 1Petr 1,3)23And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. (Apg 1,26; Apg 15,22; Apg 18,7; Kol 4,11)24And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen (1Sam 16,7; Apg 6,6; Apg 13,3; Röm 8,27)25to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” (Apg 1,17; Röm 1,5; 1Kor 9,2; Gal 2,8)26And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
