Acts 1:20 in Context — Acts 1
18 Este, pues, adquirió un campo del salario de su iniquidad, y colgándose, reventó por medio, y todas sus entrañas se derramaron.
19 Y fué notorio á todos los moradores de Jerusalem; de tal manera que aquel campo es llamado en su propia lengua, Acéldama, que es, Campo de sangre.
20 Porque está escrito en el libro de los salmos: Sea hecha desierta su habitación, y no haya quien more en ella; y: Tome otro su obispado.
21 Conviene, pues, que de estos hombres que han estado juntos con nosotros todo el tiempo que el Señor Jesús entró y salió entre nosotros,
22 Comenzando desde el bautismo de Juan, hasta el día que fué recibido arriba de [entre] nosotros, uno sea hecho testigo con nosotros de su resurrección.
