Acts 1 - Douy-Rheims Bible Challoner Revision

1 And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.

2 0 And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.

3 1 Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.

4 2 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day's journey.

5 3 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James.

6 4 All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

7 5 In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said: (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty:)

8 6 Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:

9 7 Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

10 8 And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.

11 9 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

12 0 For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.

13 1 Wherefore of these men who have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,

14 2 Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection.

15 3 And they appointed two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

16 4 And praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

17 5 To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place.

18 6 And they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

19 AND when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:

20 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

21 And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:

22 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.

23 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

24 And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.

25 And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?

26 And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?
