Acts 1:20 in Context — Acts 1
18 Este pois, adquiriu um campo por meio do pagamento da maldade, e tendo caído de cabeça para baixo, partiu-se ao meio, e todos os seus órgãos internos caíram para fora.
19 E [isso] foi conhecido por todos os que habitam em Jerusalém, de maneira que aquele campo se chama em sua própria língua Aceldama, isto é, campo de sangue.
20 Porque está escrito no livro dos Salmos: Sua habitação se faça deserta, e não haja quem nela habite; e outro tome seu trabalho de supervisão.
21 Portanto é necessário, que dos homens que nos acompanharam todo o tempo em que o Senhor Jesus entrava e saía conosco,
22 Começando desde o batismo de João, até o dia em que [diante] de nós ele foi recebido acima, se faça um destes testemunha conosco de sua ressurreição.
