1 Prvu sam ti knjigu napisao o svemu, o Teofile, što poče Isus tvoriti i učiti 2 do dana kad se uznese, pošto Duhom Svetim zapovedi apostolima koje izabra, 3 pred kojima i po stradanju svom pokaza sebe živa mnogim i istinitim znacima, i javlja im se četrdeset dana, i govori o carstvu Božjem. 4 I sabravši ih zapovedi im da ne idu iz Jerusalima, nego da čekaju obećanje Očevo, koje čuste, reče, od mene; 5 jer je Jovan krstio vodom, a vi ćete se krstiti Duhom Svetim ne dugo posle ovih dana. 6 A oni onda koji zajedno behu, pitahu Ga govoreći: Gospode! Hoćeš li sad načiniti carstvo Izrailjevo? 7 A On im reče: Nije vaše znati vremena i leta koje Otac zadrža u svojoj vlasti; 8 nego ćete primiti silu kad siđe Duh Sveti na vas; i bićete mi svedoci u Jerusalimu i po svoj Judeji i Samariji i tja do kraja zemlje. 9 I ovo rekavši videše oni gde se podiže i odnese Ga oblak iz očiju njihovih. 10 I kad gledahu za Njim gde ide na nebo, gle, dva čoveka stadoše pred njima u belim haljinama, 11 koji i rekoše: Ljudi Galilejci! Šta stojite i gledate na nebo? Ovaj Isus koji se od vas uze na nebo tako će doći kao što videste da ide na nebo. 12 Tada se vratiše u Jerusalim s gore koja se zove maslinska, koja je blizu Jerusalima jedan subotni dan hoda. 13 I kad uđoše popeše se u sobu gde stajahu Petar i Jakov i Jovan i Andrija, Filip i Toma, Vartolomije i Matej, Jakov Alfejev i Simon Zilot, i Juda Jakovljev. 14 Ovi svi jednodušno behu jednako na molitvi i u moljenju sa ženama, i s Marijom materom Isusovom i braćom Njegovom. 15 I u dane one ustavši Petar između učenika reče (a beše naroda zajedno oko sto dvadeset imena): 16 Ljudi braćo! Trebalo je da se izvrši ono pismo što proreče Duh Sveti ustima Davidovim za Judu koji beše pred onima što uhvatiše Isusa; 17 jer se brojaše s nama, i beše primio deo ove službe. 18 On dakle steče njivu od plate nepravedne, i obesivši se puče po sredi, i izasu se sva utroba njegova. 19 I postade znano svima koji žive u Jerusalimu da će se ta njiva prozvati njihovim jezikom Akeldama, koje znači njiva krvna. 20 Jer se piše u knjizi psaltiru: Da bude dvor njegov pust, i da ne bude nikoga ko bi živeo u njemu, i: Vladičanstvo njegovo da primi drugi. 21 Treba dakle od ovih ljudi koji su bili s nama za sve vreme kako među nas uđe i iziđe Gospod Isus, 22 počevši od krštenja Jovanovog do dana kad se uze od nas, da bude s nama svedok Njegovog vaskrsenja jedan od ovih. 23 I postaviše dvojicu, Josifa koji se zvaše Varsava prezimenom Just, i Matija. 24 I pomolivši se Bogu rekoše: Ti, Gospode! Koji poznaješ srca svih, pokaži jednog od ove dvojice koga si izabrao, 25 da primi deo ove službe i apostolstva, iz koga ispade Juda da ide na mesto svoje. 26 I baciše kocke za njih, i pade kocka na Matija i primiše ga među jedanaest apostola.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
To many persons this Book is so little known, both it and its author, that they are not even aware that there is such a book in existence.

"For a cloud and darkness are round about Him;" and, "He sitteth on a light cloud;" and again, "Who maketh clouds His chariot;" and, "A cloud received Him out of their sight;" and, "As the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In order then that they might believe that the voice proceeds from God, it comes from thence.
