1 Distinguido Teófilo: En mi primera carta[1] te hablé de todo lo que Jesús empezó a hacer y enseñar 2 y de cómo regresó al cielo después de darles instrucciones, a través del Espíritu Santo, a los apóstoles que había escogido. 3 Durante los cuarenta días que siguieron a sus sufrimientos, se presentó repetidas veces ante los apóstoles y les demostró que estaba vivo. En todas esas ocasiones les habló del reino de Dios. 4 Estando con ellos, les mandó que no salieran de Jerusalén hasta que, tal como ya les había dicho, recibieran la promesa del Padre. 5 ―Juan los bautizó con agua —les recordó—, pero dentro de poco ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo. 6 Los que se habían reunido con Jesús le preguntaron: ―Señor, ¿vas ahora a restaurar el reino de Israel? 7 ―El Padre ha fijado ese tiempo —les contestó—, y a ustedes no les corresponde saberlo. 8 Sin embargo, cuando el Espíritu Santo descienda sobre ustedes recibirán poder para ser mis testigos no sólo en Jerusalén, sino también en toda Judea, en Samaria y hasta lo último de la tierra. 9 Y mientras les decía esto, ascendió al cielo y desapareció envuelto en una nube. 10 Los discípulos seguían con la mirada fija viendo cómo se perdía en las alturas, y en eso, dos varones vestidos de blanco se pusieron junto a ellos. 11 ―Galileos —les dijeron—, ¿por qué se han quedado mirando al cielo? Jesús regresará de la misma forma en que lo han visto ascender al cielo. 12 Como estaban en el monte de los Olivos, para regresar a Jerusalén caminaron casi un kilómetro, que era lo que se permitía caminar en el día de reposo. 13-14 Allí, en el aposento alto de la casa, se reunieron para orar. Estuvieron presentes: Pedro, Juan, Santiago, Andrés, Felipe, Tomás, Bartolomé, Mateo, Santiago el hijo de Alfeo, Simón el Zelote, Judas el hijo de Santiago y los hermanos de Jesús, además de varias mujeres, entre las que se encontraba la madre de Jesús. 15 En aquellos días, en una ocasión en que había ciento veinte personas presentes, Pedro se puso de pie y les dijo: 16 «Hermanos, era necesario que se cumplieran las Escrituras en cuanto a Judas, el que sirvió de guía a la turba que apresó a Jesús, porque su traición la predijo hace mucho tiempo el Espíritu Santo por boca de David. 17 »Judas era uno de nosotros, y participaba del mismo servicio que hacíamos nosotros. 18 Sin embargo, con el dinero que recibió en pago por su traición, compró un terreno en el que, al precipitarse de cabeza, se le reventó el vientre y se le salieron las entrañas. 19 La noticia de su muerte corrió rápidamente entre los habitantes de Jerusalén, quienes le dieron a aquel lugar el nombre de “Campo de Sangre”. 20 »El libro de los Salmos lo había predicho así: “Quede desierta su casa y no haya quien more en ella”. Y luego añade: “¡Que otro se encargue de su trabajo!”. 21 »Entre nosotros tenemos personas que nos han acompañado todo el tiempo que el Señor Jesús estuvo con nosotros. 22 Es necesario que seleccionemos a alguien que haya estado con nosotros desde que Juan bautizó al Señor hasta que este ascendió al cielo. Así, junto con nosotros, será testigo de su resurrección». 23 Y escogieron a dos: a José Justo (llamado también Barsabás) y a Matías. 24 Luego oraron: «Señor, tú que conoces los corazones, muéstranos a cuál de estos hombres has escogido 25 para asumir el apostolado de Judas el traidor, quien ya está donde le corresponde estar». 26 Y a continuación echaron suertes y la suerte cayó sobre Matías. Desde entonces, Matías se sumó a los once apóstoles.

Hechos 1

English Standard Version

de Crossway
1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, (Lc 1:3; Lc 24:19) 2 until 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; Mr 16:15; Mr 16:19; Lc 4:1; Lc 4:18; Lc 24:47; Jn 20:21; Jn 20:22; Hch 10:38; Hch 10:42) 3 He 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; Mr 16:14; Lc 24:34; Lc 24:36; Jn 20:19; Jn 20:21; Hch 10:40; Hch 13:31; 1 Co 15:5) 4 And 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; (Lc 24:49) 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with[2] the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” (Mt 3:11; Hch 2:1; Hch 11:16) 6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” (Miq 4:8; Mt 17:11; Mr 9:12; Lc 17:20; Lc 19:11) 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. (Dn 2:21; Mt 24:36; Mr 13:32; 1 Ts 5:1) 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Is 43:12; Mt 10:5; Mr 16:15; Lc 4:14; Lc 24:48; Lc 24:49; Hch 1:5; Hch 1:22; Hch 4:33; Hch 8:1; Hch 8:14; Hch 10:38; Hch 13:47; Col 1:23; 1 Ts 1:5) 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. (Hch 1:2; 1 Ts 4:17) 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, (Jos 5:13; Dn 9:21; Dn 10:5; Dn 12:6; Zac 1:8; Mt 28:3; Mr 16:5; Lc 24:4; Jn 20:12) 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” (Mt 16:27; Hch 2:7; Hch 13:31; Flp 3:20; 1 Ts 1:10; 2 Ts 1:10) 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. (Lc 24:50; Lc 24:52) 13 And 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; Mr 3:16; Lc 6:14; Hch 9:37; Hch 9:39; Hch 20:8; Hch 21:20) 14 All 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; Lc 8:2; Hch 2:42; Hch 2:46; Hch 4:24; Hch 5:12; Hch 6:4; Hch 15:25; Ro 12:12; Ro 15:6; Ef 6:18; Col 4:2) 15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, (Jn 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; Mr 14:43; Lc 22:37; Lc 22:47; Lc 24:44; Jn 18:3) 17 For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” (Jn 6:71; Jn 13:21; Hch 1:25; Hch 20:24; Hch 21:19; Ro 11:13; 2 Co 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) 19 And 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.) (Hch 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.’ (Sal 69:25; Sal 109:8) 21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, (Nm 27:17; Dt 31:2; 1 S 18:13; Jn 15:27) 22 beginning 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.” (Mr 1:1; Lc 24:48; Hch 1:2; Hch 1:8; Hch 1:9; Hch 4:33; Hch 13:24; 1 P 1:3) 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. (Hch 1:26; Hch 15:22; Hch 18:7; Col 4:11) 24 And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen (1 S 16:7; Hch 6:6; Hch 13:3; Ro 8:27) 25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” (Hch 1:17; Ro 1:5; 1 Co 9:2; Gl 2:8) 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
