Καί And ταῦτα these things εἰπών having said, βλεπόντων beholding αὐτῶν they, ἐπήρθη He was taken up, καί and νεφέλη a cloud ὑπέλαβεν hid αὐτόν Him ἀπό from τῶν the ὀφθαλμῶν eyes αὐτῶν. of them. καί And ὡς as ἀτενίζοντες looking intently ἦσαν they were εἰς into τόν the οὐρανόν heaven πορευομένου as was going αὐτοῦ, He, καί then ἰδού behold ἄνδρες men δύο two παρειστήκεισαν stood by αὐτοῖς them ἐν in ἐσθήσεσι apparel λευκαῖς, white, οἵ who καί also εἶπαν· said, Ἄνδρες Men, Γαλιλαῖοι, Galileans, τί why ἑστήκατε do you stand βλέποντες looking εἰς into τόν - οὐρανόν; heaven? οὗτος This ὁ - Ἰησοῦς Jesus, ὁ - ἀναλημφθείς having been taken up ἀφ ̓ from ὑμῶν you εἰς into τόν - οὐρανόν heaven, οὕτως thus ἐλεύσεται will come ὅν in that τρόπον manner ἐθεάσασθε you beheld αὐτόν Him πορευόμενον going εἰς into τόν - οὐρανόν. heaven.

Τότε Then ὑπέστρεψαν they returned εἰς to Ἰερουσαλήμ Jerusalem ἀπό from ὄρους [the] mount τοῦ - καλουμένου called Ἐλαιῶνος, Olivet, ὅ which ἐστίν is ἐγγύς near Ἰερουσαλήμ Jerusalem, σαββάτου a Sabbath day’s ἔχον holding ὁδόν. journey. καί And ὅτε when εἰσῆλθον, they had entered εἰς into τό the ὑπερῷον upper room, ἀνέβησαν they went up οὗ where ἦσαν they were καταμένοντες, staying, ὅ - τέ both Πέτρος Peter καί and Ἰωάννης John, καί and Ἰάκωβος James καί and Ἀνδρέας, Andrew, Φίλιππος Philip καί and Θωμᾶς, Thomas, Βαρθολομαῖος Bartholomew καί and Μαθθαῖος, Matthew, Ἰάκωβος James [son] Ἁλφαίου of Alphaeus, καί and Σίμων Simon ὁ the Ζηλωτής Zealot, καί and Ἰούδας Judas [son] Ἰακώβου. of James. οὗτοι These πάντες all ἦσαν were προσκαρτεροῦντες steadfastly continuing ὁμοθυμαδόν with one accord τῇ - προσευχῇ in prayer, σύν with [the] γυναιξίν women, καί and Μαριάμ Mary τῇ the μητρί mother τοῦ - Ἰησοῦ of Jesus, καί and τοῖς the ἀδελφοῖς brothers αὐτοῦ. of Him.

Καί And ἐν in ταῖς the ἡμέραις days ταύταις these, ἀναστάς having stood up Πέτρος Peter ἐν in μέσῳ [the] midst τῶν of the ἀδελφῶν brothers, εἶπεν· he said — ἦν was τέ then ὄχλος [the] number ὀνομάτων of names ἐπί together τό the αὐτό same ὡσεί about ἑκατόν a hundred εἴκοσι· twenty — Ἄνδρες Men, ἀδελφοί, brothers, ἔδει it was necessary for πληρωθῆναι to have been fulfilled τήν the γραφήν Scripture ἥν which προεῖπεν spoke beforehand τό the Πνεῦμα Spirit τό - Ἅγιον Holy διά by στόματος [the] mouth Δαυίδ of David περί concerning Ἰούδα Judas, τοῦ the [one] γενομένου having become ὁδηγοῦ guide τοῖς to those συλλαβοῦσιν having arrested Ἰησοῦν, Jesus; ὅτι for κατηριθμημένος numbered ἦν he was ἐν with ἡμῖν us, καί and ἔλαχεν was allotted τόν - κλῆρον a share τῆς of the διακονίας ministry ταύτης. this.

Δεῖ It behooves οὖν therefore τῶν the συνελθόντων having accompanied ἡμῖν us ἀνδρῶν men, ἐν during παντί all χρόνῳ [the] time ᾧ that εἰσῆλθεν came in καί and ἐξῆλθεν went out ἐφ ̓ among ἡμᾶς us ὁ the Κύριος Lord Ἰησοῦς, Jesus, ἀρξάμενος having begun ἀπό from τοῦ the βαπτίσματος baptism Ἰωάννου of John ἕως until τῆς the ἡμέρας day ἧς in which ἀνελήμφθη He was taken up ἀφ ̓ from ἡμῶν, us, μάρτυρα a witness τῆς of the ἀναστάσεως resurrection αὐτοῦ of Him σύν with ἡμῖν us γενέσθαι to become ἕνα one τούτων. of these.

Καί And ἐν during τῷ the συμπληροῦσθαι arriving of τήν the ἡμέραν day τῆς - Πεντηκοστῆς of Pentecost, ἦσαν they were πάντες all ὁμοῦ together ἐπί in τό the αὐτό. one [place]. καί And ἐγένετο came ἄφνω suddenly ἐκ out of τοῦ - οὐρανοῦ heaven ἦχος a sound, ὥσπερ like φερομένης [the] rushing πνοῆς of a wind βιαίας violent, καί and ἐπλήρωσεν it filled ὅλον all τόν the οἶκον house οὗ where ἦσαν they were καθήμενοι sitting. καί And ὤφθησαν there appeared αὐτοῖς to them διαμεριζόμεναι dividing γλῶσσαι tongues ὡσεί as πυρός of fire καί and ἐκάθισεν sat ἐφ ̓ upon ἕνα one ἕκαστον each αὐτῶν, of them. καί And ἐπλήσθησαν they were filled with πάντες all Πνεύματος Spirit Ἁγίου Holy, καί and ἤρξαντο began λαλεῖν to speak ἑτέραις in other γλώσσαις tongues καθώς as τό the Πνεῦμα Spirit ἐδίδου was giving ἀποφθέγγεσθαι to utter forth αὐτοῖς. to them.
