Knijga O Kristu

Djela Apostolska 1:1-26

Obećanje Svetoga Duha

1Dragi Teofile, u prvoj knjizi koju sam ti napisao iznio sam sve što je Isus počeo da djeluje i poučava 2do dana kad je uznesen na nebo, pošto je odabranim apostolima dao upute Svetoga Duha. 3Još četrdeset dana nakon raspeća ukazivao se apostolima i na mnoge im načine dokazao da je živ. Govorio im je o Božjemu kraljevstvu.

4Dok je tako s njima blagovao, reče im: “Ne idite iz Jeruzalema, nego ostanite ondje dok vam Otac ne pošalje što je obećao. Sjetite se, već sam vam o tomu govorio. 5Ivan je krstio vodom, ali vi ćete uskoro biti kršteni Svetim Duhom.”

Isusovo uzašašće

6Apostoli koji su bili s njim upitaju ga: “Gospodine, hoćeš li sada obnoviti izraelsko kraljevstvo?”

7“Ta vremena i prigode određuje Otac svojom vlasti”, odgovori im on, “i nije na vama da ih znate. 8Ali kad na vas siđe Sveti Duh, primit ćete snagu da o meni svjedočite ljudima posvuda—u Jeruzalemu, po svoj Judeji i Samariji i do kraja zemlje.”

9Tek što je to rekao, uznesen je na nebo pred njihovim očima i nestao u oblaku. 10Dok su očiju uprtih u nebo gledali kako odlazi, odjednom se među njima pojave dvojica ljudi u bijeloj odjeći. 11“Galilejci, što tu stojite i gledate u nebo?” rekli su. “Isus je od vas uznesen na nebo, ali jednoga dana će se vratiti jednako tako kao što ste ga vidjeli da odlazi!”

Umjesto Jude izabran Matija

12Bilo je to na Maslinskoj gori. Vrate se zatim do Jeruzalema udaljenoga otprilike kilometar.1:12 U grčkome: jedan subotni hod. 13Čim uđu u grad, odu u kuću u kojoj su boravili, u sobu na katu. Bili su ondje Petar, Ivan, Jakov, Andrija, Filip, Toma, Bartolomej, Matej, Jakov (Alfejev sin), Šimun (zelot) i Juda (Jakovljev sin).

14Svi su se ustrajno i jednodušno sastajali na molitvu s Isusovom majkom Marijom, još nekoliko drugih žena i s Isusovom braćom.

15Kad ih je jednom tako bilo okupljeno sto dvadeset, Petar ustane i reče:

16“Braćo, moralo se ispuniti ono što piše u Svetome pismu za Judu, koji je doveo hramsku policiju da uhiti Isusa. To je odavno, kroz Davida, pretkazao Sveti Duh.

17Juda je bio jedan od nas, dionik naše službe.

18Novcem koji je dobio za svoje zlodjelo Juda je kupio polje. Ondje je pao i rasprsnuo se tako da mu se prosula sva utroba. 19Vijest o njegovoj smrti brzo se pronijela među stanovnicima Jeruzalema pa su to polje prozvali Akeldama, što na aramejskome znači ‘Krvavo polje’.

20To je pretkazano u Knjizi psalama. Ondje piše:

‘Neka njegov dom opusti,

neka nitko u njemu ne stanuje!’

i

‘Neka njegovu službu dobije drugi!’1:20 Psalam 69:26; Psalam 109:8.

21Moramo zato odabrati nekoga da zamijeni Judu—nekoga tko je bio s nama cijelo vrijeme dok smo bili s Gospodinom Isusom 22otkad ga je Ivan krstio pa do uznesenja u nebo. Taj će s nama biti svjedokom Isusova uskrsnuća.”

23Predlože dvojicu: Josipa Barsabu (kojega su zvali i Just) i Matiju. 24Svi se pomole: “Gospodine, ti poznaješ svako srce. Pokaži nam kojega si od ove dvojice izabrao 25da kao apostol zamijeni izdajnika Judu koji nas je napustio i otišao onamo kamo pripada.” 26Zatim bace kocke i kocka padne na Matiju. Tako je on postao dvanaestim apostolom.

King James Version

Acts 1:1-26

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 Judæa, 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.

15¶ And 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.
