Acts Acts Chapter 1 Acts Acts

The Text Acts 2:38

Acts Acts 1:1...(a) “The former account I made”.
This is what the NKJV says. The KJV says: “The former treatise I made” It is the same idea anyway. The NASB says: “The former account I composed” The idea, of all of these Bible versions is that before Acts was written there was another one already in place. The Gospel of Luke? Some erroneously believe that the word FORMER (protos) is the first of more than two. a. Luke 1:1-3. 4. This is the order, and this is the one that Luke is referring to when he says in the former... There is no evidence or excuse to say that Luke is referring to any other book but the book of Luke. Acts

Acts Acts 1:1(b)... O Theophilus... Theophilus
A real person? Yes, A Christian or an unbeliever? Most likely a Christian! “most excellent” Acts Greek term for “most excellent” is (kratiste) this term was sometimes used as a title for someone of rank. It is a term Paul used in addressing: Felix... Acts 23:26; 24:3... Festus. Acts 26:25...

Acts 1:1(c)... of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
The whole point is about Jesus. MINISTRY. My brother there is no retirement from seeking to reach a world that is sunk so desperately in need. John 4:35.. John 9:4... 1 Corinthians 4:2... 1 Corinthians 6:20... 1 Peter 4:10... 2 Timothy 1:6... Ecclesiastes 9:10... Acts To do and teach

Acts Acts 1:2(a) ... Until the day in which He was taken up
Jesus worked until the last minute! Until the day, Acts 1:12... “Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. He was taken up! Acts John 3:13; John 6:41, 42; Jesus is Lord of lords

Acts 1:2...(b)... after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, Acts Christ worked and taught through the “Holy Spirit.” Christ gave and taught His commandments to those whom He had chosen, His apostles... Which ones, what commandments? Acts Acts 1:8; Romans 8:5; Romans 8:13 Ephesians 5:18; 1 John 2:27

Acts 1:2...(c)... “after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, Acts No other commandments has Jesus given but the ones He gave to His apostles. I do not see! When Luke is talking about apostles; we must understand that outside of these ones that Jesus chose, there are NO other apostles...The presumption of some to call themselves “apostles” is only that presumption! Jesus did not recognize: Joseph Smith... Mormons Charles Russell... Jehovah Witnesses. Mohammad...Muslims. Etc...These are “false Apostles” Acts

A thought for you and I... Acts 2 Timothy 2:2... Matthew 18:19, 20...
Every believer is a chosen servant of God to carry on His mission, every believer is to be proclaiming the glorious message of Hope to a world lost and doomed to death! 2 Timothy 2:2... Matthew 18:19, 20... John 20:21... Acts 1:8... Acts Northside this is your job!!!

The apostles! To whom, who are these? Acts
Acts 1:3...(a)... “to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs...” Acts To whom, who are these? The apostles! One of the requisites to being an apostle of Jesus was to be a witness of His baptism, and also of his resurrection...Peter says that this is the proof, for a real witness or apostle...Acts 1:21,22... Acts

Jesus shows his disciples many proofs that He was the same before and after His crucifixion and Luke says that He showed many infallible proofs! Which ones? Acts 10:40, 41 Infallible---From the Greek (tekmerion)...It doesn’t appear anywhere else but here and the idea is: convincing, decisively proof! Acts The word proofs---from the Greek (tekmeriois) means positive proof; infallible proof; convincing proof; sure signs and ways... There is no doubt that he came from death, He is alive!

Acts 1:3...(b)... “to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs...” Acts The KJV says “After his passion” The word “passion” (phatein) means “suffering; it refers to the suffering or death of Christ. His death and resurrection assured the salvation of man. By death He paid the penalty for man’s sin. Acts 1 Peter 2: Peter 3:18... Romans 6:4...1 Corinthians 15: Corinthians 5:17...Ephesians 1: Ephesians 2:4-10.

Jesus’ Resurrection Acts
Acts 1:3...(c)... being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. Acts These are the infallible proofs! Jesus appeared for forty days after being in the heart of the earth or the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights!! Jesus’ Resurrection Jesus appeared at least ten times Acts

Jesus Appearances... Acts John 20:30, 31; 21:25
He appeared to Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9-11; John 20:11-18). He appeared to the woman running to tell the disciples about the empty tomb (Matthew 28:8-10) He appeared to Peter, probably to assure him of his restoration. (Luke 24:34; 1 Corinthians 15:5). He appeared to the two Emmaus disciples sometime early in the evening (Mark 16:12; Luke 24:13-42). He appeared to the disciples with Thomas absent (Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19-25). Acts

Jesus’ Appearances... Acts John 20:30, 31; 21:25
6. One week later He appeared to the disciples who had gone fishing (John 20). 7. He appeared to 500 believers (1 Corinthians 15) 8. He appeared to the apostles (Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:15-18). 9. He appeared to James, the Lord’s half-brother (1 Corinthians 15:7) 10. He appeared to the believers at His ascension (Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:3-12) Acts

Jesus Appearances... John 20:30, 31; 21:25 Let’s keep in mind that after Jesus’ ascension unto heaven, He had appeared at least two other times: Acts He appeared to Stephen at his death (Acts 7:55-56). He appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3)

Kingdom of God... Which one is this? Acts Matthew 16:18...
Acts 1:4...(a)... being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. Acts Kingdom of God... Which one is this? Matthew 16:18... Colossians 1:13... Acts

Acts Groom Bride Inseparable...
Jesus made it clear when He was talking to Pilate about the Kingdom... My kingdom is not from this world...John 18:36... Rather it is spiritual based on the truth...John 18:37... The nature of the Kingdom is spiritual... Luke 17:21... Jesus and the church... Ephesians 5: Acts Groom Bride Matthew 4:17... Matthew 16:18... Acts 1:3... Inseparable...

Acts 1:4 (b)... And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; Acts Where did He command this the first time? Luke 24:47,48. Acts

Why? Was the city important at all? Acts Zechariah 2:10... Acts 1:8...

Acts 1:4 (c)... And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; Acts The promise! Matthew 3: Acts 2:32... John 14: Luke 22:49... Acts 1: Isaiah 44:3.. Joel 2:28... Acts

Did Jesus say: wait or Pray?
Acts 1:4 (d)... And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; Did Jesus say: wait or Pray? Acts

Acts Isaiah 40:3 Matthew 3:1-3
Acts 1:5... (a) “for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. Acts What was the difference between the Baptism of John and the baptism of Jesus? Isaiah 40:3 Acts Matthew 3:1-3

Let’s make it straight this morning...
What was the difference? Everything start here. Acts 1:5... Jesus approved John’s Baptism Matthew 21:25 Mark says that John Baptism was FOR the remissions of sins Mark 1:5; Luke also says the same. Luke 3:3; Matthew 3:11. But then, Apollo's was wrong when he was teaching the baptism of John. Acts 19:25,26. Later the Ephesians need to be baptized again because they were baptized in the baptism of John. Acts 19:3-5. Why?

Jesus says: YOU. Who is Jesus talking to?
Acts 1:5... (b) “for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. Acts Jesus says: YOU. Who is Jesus talking to? Acts Did the Holy Spirit descend upon the 120 or only to the 12?

Sorry, but the promise was only made to the twelve!!
Luke 24:47, 48...“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48“And you are witnesses of these things. Acts

Sorry, but the promise was only made to the twelve!!
Then Jesus said: Acts 1:8... “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.” Acts This is not WATER BAPTISM! It is a PROMISE!

Baptism... Is Luke using the same word for water baptism?
Baptism...from the Greek: "baptidzo" It is the exact same word, but they would not be immersed in water but in the HOLY SPIRIT! Acts Matthew 3:11

Acts 1:6...(a) “Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” Acts Again these are the twelve! when they had come together This gathering is totally different from the one mentioned in verse 4... Acts Acts 1:4... “And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me”

Acts 1:6...(b) “Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” Acts "restore" They are tired, they are confused and they don’t want ROME in their country anymore... Acts

The apostles’ question is not surprising
The apostles’ question is not surprising. They are confused, and they had been expecting Jesus to do something like this for them... Luke 19:11... 11Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. Their hope was killed! Acts Luke 24:21... “21“But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

The reviling thing is this: The disciples were still thinking about earthly terms, about a Physical messiah! Acts The confusion was probably due to the promise that Jesus made unto them, that they would sit on 12 thrones to judge the tribes of Israel. Matthew 19: “27Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?” 28So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30“But many who are first will be last, and the last first. Acts

Acts Saul --- Bronze... David --- Silver... Solomon --- Gold...
Jesus will NOT set up a KINGDOM in this world anymore, as the Premillenialists believe and teach! With this question, what the disciples were asking was: Position and influence Recognition and prestige. Authority and power Rule and reign Money and possessions The material and the Physical. Saul --- Bronze... David --- Silver... Solomon --- Gold... Psalm 89:35,36... Isaiah 11:10... Zachariah 8:3... Zachariah 9:9... Acts

One question please! Is Jesus saying: I DON’T KNOW?
Acts 1:7...(a) And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. Acts Who are THEM ? Jesus is talking to the twelve! Acts One question please! Is Jesus saying: I DON’T KNOW?

Acts 1:7...(b) And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. Acts It is not for you to know!!! If I don’t know something I would have said: It is not for US to know... Acts Jehovah's witnesses teach that in Acts 1:7 Jesus admits to being inferior to the Father...Inferior, because of the simple fact that He did not know how to answer this question...Do you agree?

It is not for you to know!!! Acts
Acts 1:7...(c) And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. Acts It is not for you to know!!! Believers are not to be focusing upon prophesy and the setting of dates. Believers are to be focusing upon witnessing, and upon sharing the glorious gospel of salvation with the world Acts Mark 13:32... “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Acts 1:8...(a) “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.” Acts Jesus in this gathering continues addressing HIS disciples, He said: BUT YOU... It is the same idea. He is not talking to anyone else but the twelve! Acts

Acts 1:8...(b) “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.” Acts What is Power and what Kind of Power? Acts Dunamis: Power or might... They were to receive the might that the Holy Spirit Gives... In verse 7 “Exousia” is the word found for AUTHORITY.

Acts 1:8...(c) “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.” Acts The power will come with THE Holy Spirit! It was to be something SUPERNATURAL THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE! JOHN 16: Acts

Acts 1:8...(d) “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.” Acts Who is a witness? A bystander, eyewitness, observer, somebody who sees something, somebody who saw or heard something that happened and it gives evidence about it. Acts

Are Jehovah witnesses, Witnesses?
Acts 2:32. Acts 3:15. Acts 4:33 Acts 5:32 Acts 13:31 Can we use that name? NO! We never saw Jesus in the sense that these men have seen Him, we never touched Him, heard Him, in the physical way...We never eye witnessed anything that He did. Acts

Acts 1:8...(e) “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.” Acts

Acts 1:8...(f) “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.” Acts Isaiah 2:3

Acts 1:9... (a) Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Acts What Things? Preaching the Gospel and be His witnesses Acts While they watched

Seven Glorious Truths beyond all question...
HE IS the ascended LORD. Acts 2:36... HE IS the ascended mediator. John 10:7-8; 12:44-46; 14:6; 14:13-14. HE IS the ascended ADVOCATE of man before God. John 14:26; 15:26; 16:7; 1 John 2:1,2... HE IS the ascended Son of God who CAME “out of heaven to save man” John 3:31-34; 6:33; 7:25-31; 8:23; Hebrews 7:25. HE IS the ascended HIGH PRIEST of God Hebrews 2:17-18; 1 John 2:1,2. HE IS the ascended HIGH PRIEST who is touch with the feelings of our infirmities...Hebrews 2:15-16; HE IS the ascended MESSIAH who makes intercession for US. Rom 8:31-39. Acts

Acts 1:9... (b) Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Acts Psalm 68:4. Psalm 104:3. Daniel 7:13. This is the last time they saw Jesus... Mark 16:19. Luke 24:51. Hebrews 4:14. Hebrews 9:24. 1 Peter 3:22. Acts

Why Jerusalem? Can it be in another city? Isaiah 2:3
Acts Can it be in another city? Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:3

Why Judea? Matthew 2:5-6. Micah 5:2.
Acts Matthew 2:5-6. 5So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:6‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ” 2“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.” Micah 5:2.

Why Samaria? They were enemies of the Samaritans, so why them?
Acts They were enemies of the Samaritans, so why them? John 4:9 9Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Luke 9:51-54. 14For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, Ephesians 2:14

Acts 1:10... (a) And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, Acts steadfast Ernest, Strained, Fixed Gaze They all ARE IN SHOCK! Acts

Acts 1:10... (b) And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, Acts Angels? Acts Matthew 28:3 John 20:12

Acts 1:11... (a) who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts Man of Galilee...Who are this? Are they all from Galilee? Acts Acts 2:7 Mark 14:70

Acts 1:11... (b) who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts They are looking unto heaven where Jesus went! There is doubt about that any more... Acts Jesus is in heaven!!

Acts 1:11... (c) who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts The SAME Jesus, not a Ghost, but the SAME Jesus. Acts Revelations 1:9

Acts 1:11... (d) who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts The same Jesus will come! John 14:2,3 Matthew 16:27 Matthew 24:27 Matthew 25:31,32 Acts Matthew 26:64 Luke 12:40 1 Corinthians 4:5 Luke 21:27 1 Thessalonians 5:2 2 Timothy 4:1

Acts 1:12... (a) Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. Acts They return to Jerusalem form the Olives... Acts

Acts Acts 1:12... (b) Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. Acts What is a SABBATH day? How Long? Luke 24:50,51

(a) And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. Acts What was the upper room? How much do we know about this place? Acts Mark 14:15. Same place? Luke 22:7-13

Acts 1:13... (b) And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. Acts Who are in the Upper room? Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. Acts John 1:45-47 Are we missing anyone?

Acts 1:14... (a) These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. Acts __ ______ _ __ ________ 1 Corinthians 1:10. John 17:20,21. John 14:13,14. Supplications were made! Prayers and Acts

Acts 1:14... (b) These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. Acts Are the disciples alone? No...Luke says WOMEN. Mary Magdalene... Mary the wife of Clopas... The sisters Mary and Martha... Salome... Acts 1 Corinthians 9:5... “Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Luke 8:2,3

Acts 1:14... (c) These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. Acts We Love and Respect Mary this is something the we must clarify… Mary was a true believer! Acts She was keeping many things about her son in her heart and here she proved to be a real believer.

Acts 1:14... (d) These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. Acts His brother! Did Jesus have more brothers? How many? We find at least 4 in the Bible. Acts James, Joses, Simon and Judas! And many Sisters! Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3…

Acts 1:14... (e) These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. Acts Acts Before the resurrection they did not believe in Him...John 7:5; Even His own family, the Bible says, believed that Jesus was a mad man. Mark 3:21... Acts Acts

Acts 1:14... (f) These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. Acts Acts Acts But now with the disciples, here they are waiting also for the promise! James one of his brothers, received some personal appearances from Jesus, His oldest brother and also he was very prominent in the church that was at Jerusalem. Acts Acts Acts 1 Cor 15:7; Acts 12:17; Acts 15:13; Gal 1:18,19; Gal 2:9…

Acts 1:15 (a)...And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, Acts Which days? The days in between Jesus’ ascension and the waiting of the promise… Jesus appeared unto them after His resurrection for 40 days, then they waited for the promise 10 days more, that equals fifty days. This is exactly “Pentecostes” which means fifty… Acts

Acts 1:15(b)...And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, Acts Peter has something important to say: Notice please how the number has grown from 12 to 120 so far… Acts

Acts 1:16(a)...“Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; Acts Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, Which scripture? Acts Psalm 69:25 Psalm 41:9

Something that I don’t see in the book of Psalm is the name:
Judas! Does it have to be Judas? Matthew 10:4 Matthew 26:14 John 12:4-7 Acts

Let me make some points about Judas as a treasurer!
Acts Unless a person is truly saved, sanctified, he is not acceptable to God It is not enough: To claim and profess God. To hold an official office in the church. To be the evangelist or leader. To be faithful church member. To associate with others. To be effective in the ministering. Acts

Acts 1:17...(a) “for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”
Judas was among the twelve! Don’t be deceived, people can be among us, but they don’t necessarily have to be a part of us... 1 John 2:19... “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. Acts

Acts 1:17...(b) “for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”
Judas also obtained part in the ministry, Peter said... But what Ministry? The ministry (Service) of the twelve! Acts Acts It was an Honor to be counted among the twelve, among Jesus’ followers. There were many who fulfilled the ministry better than Judas but the Honor was for him, and he missed it!!

Acts 1:18...(a) (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. Acts Acts Did Judas buy the Field? That’s exactly what Peter says: Matthew 27:3,4... Matthew 27: Acts Acts The wages of iniquity... What was that?

Acts 1:18...(b) (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. Acts Acts Matthew 27:5... “Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself. Acts Acts This is all that Mathew says, but Luke added more info when he mentioned that he even split opened in the middle and all his entrails gushed out...

Acts 1:19...(a) And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.) Acts Acts Everyone knew about Judas and also about his death... The field purchased with Judas’ money was called: Akel Dama. This is an Aramaic word and means. FIELD OF BLOOD. Acts Acts

Acts 1:20...(a) “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it’; and, ‘Let another take his office. Acts Acts This is the way that we are all supposed to talk: IT IS WRITTEN. Peter is quoting the Bible, and this time he goes to the Book of Psalm to bring some application on Judas’ death... Acts Acts Psalm 69:25; Psalm 109:8

Acts 1:20...(b) “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it’; and, ‘Let another take his office. Acts How did Peter know about all of this? How did he know that this prophecy could be applied to Judas? Acts Acts Luke 24:

Acts 1:21... (a) “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Acts Acts Due to all of the evidences presented by the book of Psalms... Keep in mind that in the upper room there are 120 disciples and many women, but they selected men...Why is that? Why not Mary Magdalene, or Joanna, or Salome, or Martha? Acts Acts

Acts 1:21... (b) “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Acts Acts anthropos Galatians 3:28... “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Not gune Acts Acts

Acts 1:22...(a) “beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” Acts Acts The new apostle must: Have been with Jesus at all times, beginning in John’s baptism, until the days in the Olives or the ascension... His resurrection is also mentioned... Very fundamental for the one replacing Judas. These are doctrinal points that they must be familiar with... Acts Acts

Acts 1:22...(b) “beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.” Acts Acts But why John’s baptism? John’s baptism was Jesus’ beginning of His preaching. Acts Acts Acts 10:37... Acts 13:24,25... Mark 1:1-4...

Have you heard these names before? Matthias and Joseph called Justus.
Acts 1:23...(a) And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. Acts Acts Have you heard these names before? Matthias and Joseph called Justus. Acts Acts Keep in mind that they both qualified for the work!

Acts 1:24...(a) And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen Acts Acts They Prayed! The disciples are asking God to choose between these two men. Keep in mind that He always knows what’s best for us. Acts Acts 1 Chronicles 21:9... Jeremiah 17:10...

Acts 1:25...(a) “to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” Acts Acts Judas "was NOT predestined for this" Judas, like many others now days, choose their own place; in this case “hell”.
