3After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

6So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

9After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.

10They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.

13When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.

14With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

15In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,

26Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
