The book containing this chapter is anonymous but early Christian tradition affirmed that Luke composed this book as well as the Gospel of Luke.Шаблон:Sfn This chapter functions as a transition from the "former account" (that is, Gospel of Luke) with a narrative prelude (verses 1–5), repeated record of the ascension of Jesus Christ with more detail (verses 6–11) and the meeting of Jesus' followers (verses 12–26),Шаблон:Sfn until before Pentecost.

Introduction (1:1–5)

The beginning of the book follows a conventional opening statement containing the name of the addressee, Theophilus, and a brief reminder of the content of the "former account" (Gospel of Luke) by the same author.Шаблон:Sfn

Verses 1–3

Шаблон:SupThe former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, Шаблон:Supuntil the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, Шаблон:Supto whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

• "Former account" (from Greek: Шаблон:Script/Greek, Шаблон:Strong-number Шаблон:Strong-number, lit. "first book"Шаблон:Sfn): refers to Gospel of Luke.
• "Theophilus" (written in Greek in vocative word form): the intended reader of this book, as well as the previous one (Luke 1:3), might be a "patron" who is already informed about "things which have been fulfilled among us", but still needs "assurance" to "know the certainty of those things" (Luke 1:1-4).Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorAscension of Jesus (1:6–12)

Шаблон:Main This section records that forty days after the resurrection, Jesus commands the disciples during a meal to await the coming of the Holy Spirit, then a cloud takes him upward from sight, and two men in white appear to tell them (the disciples) that he will return "in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 8

Файл:First century Iudaea province.gif

A map of first century Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and neighboring areas.

[Jesus says:] "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

Before Jesus left, he charged the disciples with the task of acting as 'witnesses' to him, in the locations that can be read as a 'geographical program' for the whole book of Acts:

• The first 7 chapters set in Jerusalem
• Chapter 8—11 record the spread of the gospel to the surrounding areas within Syria-Palestine ('Judea and Samaria')
• Chapter 13 onwards following Paul's mission ever farther places.Шаблон:Sfn

Luke chapter 24Шаблон:Efn tells how Jesus leads the eleven disciples "as far as" Bethany, a village on the Mount of Olives, where he instructs them to remain in Jerusalem until the coming of the Holy Spirit: "And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy" (Шаблон:Bibleref2).Шаблон:Sfn

The Gospel of John has three references to ascension in Jesus' own words: "No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the son of man" (Шаблон:Bibleref2); "What if you (the disciples) were to see the son of man ascending where he was before?" (Шаблон:Bibleref2); and to Mary Magdalene after his resurrection, "Do not hold me, for I not yet ascended to my father..." (Шаблон:Bibleref2).Шаблон:Sfn Various epistles (Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse, 1 Timothy 3:16, and Шаблон:Bibleverse) also refer to an ascension in relation to the post-resurrection "exaltation" of Jesus to the right hand of God.Шаблон:Sfn Gospel of Mark (Шаблон:Bibleverse) contains the brief ascension account, but it is considered by a broad consensus among scholars to be a later addition to the original version of that gospel.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 12

Файл:1934 הר הזיתים - iדגניi btm11724.jpeg

Mount of Olives, seen from Jerusalem (1934)

Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city.

• "The hill called the Mount of Olives" (ESV: "the mount called Olivet"): This geographical site is mentioned by Luke alone in the narrative of Jesus' last entry into Jerusalem (Шаблон:Bibleverse) and as a place to rest during Jesus' final ministry of teaching (Шаблон:Bibleverse).Шаблон:Sfn Шаблон:Bibleverse names Bethany as the site of ascension, which is identified in Шаблон:Bibleverse as a location at the Mount of Olives.Шаблон:Sfn
• "A Sabbath day's walk" (Greek: Шаблон:Lang): 2,000 cubits (= 5 furlongs), about 5/8 mile or about 1 kilometer, showing a proximity to Jerusalem (fulfilling Jesus' command in Шаблон:Bibleverse), as well as portraying the disciples as faithful Jews (cf. Шаблон:Bibleref2).Шаблон:Sfn The distance seems differ significantly with the Bethany in Шаблон:Bibleverse,Шаблон:Sfn but the ascension site, according to Lightfoot, "was from the place where that tract of the Mount of Olives ceased to be called Bethphage and began to be called Bethany", not inside the village (15 furlongs far in Gospel of John).

Election of Matthias (1:13–26)

As the disciples waited obediently in the upper roomШаблон:Efn in Jerusalem for the promised coming of the Holy Spirit, they devoted themselves "with one accord" in prayer (verse 14), underlying the unity of the group which surprisingly now includes Jesus' mother, brothers, and some women.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 13 lists the names of the apostles with some differences compared to the apostolic list in Шаблон:Bibleref2 (cf. Шаблон:Bibleref2; Шаблон:Bibleref2):Шаблон:Sfn

• Andrew was moved down from the second place to the fourth place after John
• Thomas was moved up from the eighth place to the sixth place following Philip
• Judas Iscariot is no longer listed.

The omission of Judas Iscariot motivates the narrative of his final fate and Peter's call to find his replacement.Шаблон:Sfn The process begins by Peter's appeal to the Scripture (verse 20),Шаблон:Sfn and the requirements for the candidate (verses 21–22).Шаблон:Sfn With this, Peter reinforces the identity of the group and exerts his de facto authority in the group.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 14

These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

• "Mary the mother of Jesus": was mentioned by name for the first time in Luke-Acts since the infancy narrative in Luke 2.Шаблон:Sfn
• "Brothers": or "brothers and sisters", translated from the plural Greek word adelphoi, which, depending on the context in New Testament usage, may refer either to "brothers" or to "brothers and sisters" (also verse 1:15 in some versions).

Verse 15

In those days Peter stood up among the disciples (the number of people together was about a hundred and twenty), and said,

• "Stood up": from Greek: Шаблон:Lang: adding a participle to a finite verb ("to stand") to indicate the posture or position of a speaker is a characteristic of Luke as this word is found in the Gospel of Luke 17 times, and in Acts 19 times, only twice in Matthew, six or seven times in Mark.Шаблон:Efn

Verses 21–22

[Peter says:] "Шаблон:SupTherefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Шаблон:Supbeginning ('arxamenos') from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness ('martyra') with us of His resurrection."

• "Went in and out": is a "Semitism or Septuagintalism" expression (cf. Шаблон:Bibleverse), comparable to the English phrase "comings and goings".Шаблон:Sfn
• "Beginning" (Greek: Шаблон:Script/Greek, Шаблон:Strong-number): The "baptism" of John" to "that day when He was taken up from us" (ascension) mark the scope for the story of Jesus, with an emphasis on "His resurrection".Шаблон:Sfn In Acts 10, Luke notes Peter preaching the gospel using "precisely the same parameters"Шаблон:Snd also using arxamenos ("began")Шаблон:Sndwith the claim of being a witness (accusative Greek: Шаблон:Script/Greek, Шаблон:Strong-number; plural: martyres) specifically to the resurrection (Acts 10:36-42).Шаблон:Sfn

[Peter preaches to Cornelius and his household:] "Шаблон:SupThe word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— Шаблон:Supthat word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began ('arxamenos') from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: Шаблон:Suphow God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Шаблон:SupAnd we are witnesses ('martyres') of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. Шаблон:SupHim God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, Шаблон:Supnot to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. Шаблон:SupAnd He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. Шаблон:SupTo Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins."

The apostles proceed by asking God as the only resource to 'indicate' his choice through the casting of lots (verse 26), which is a familiar mean to ascertain divine purpose in both the Graeco-Roman world and the Bible,Шаблон:Sfn to get Matthias "numbered with the eleven apostles" (verse 26).

Verse 26

And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

• "Matthias": only mentioned in this chapter in the whole Bible, he was chosen by casting lots to be included as "the Twelve" (replacing Judas Iscariot) from then on.
