Acts 1:12-26

12ThenG5119 they returnedG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 fromG575 the MountG3735 ofG2564 OlivesG1638, whichG3739 isG1510 nearG1451 the city, a Sabbath day’sG4521 journeyG3598 awayG2192.1 13WhenG3753 they arrivedG1525, they wentG305 toG1519 theG3588 upper roomG5253 whereG3757 they wereG1510 stayingG2650: PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491, JamesG2385 andG2532 AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 andG2532 ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 andG2532 MatthewG3156, JamesG2385 son of AlphaeusG256, SimonG4613 theG3588 ZealotG2207, andG2532 JudasG2455 son of JamesG2385. 14With one accordG3661 theyG3778 allG3956 continuedG4342 in prayerG4335, along withG4862 the womenG1135 andG2532 MaryG3137 theG3588 motherG3384 of JesusG2424, andG2532 withG4862 HisG846 brothersG80.

InG1722 thoseG3778 daysG2250 PeterG4074 stood upG450 amongG1722G3319 theG3588 brothersG80 (a gathering ofG1909G3686 aboutG5616 a hundredG1540 and twentyG1501) and saidG2036, 16“BrothersG435G80, theG3588 ScriptureG1124 had toG1163 be fulfilledG4137 thatG3739 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 foretoldG4277 throughG1223 the mouthG4750 of DavidG1138 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, whoG3588 becameG1096 a guideG3595 for those whoG3588 arrestedG4815 JesusG2424. 17He wasG1510 one ofG1722 ourG1473 numberG2674 andG2532 sharedG2975G3588G2819 in thisG3778 ministryG1248.”

18(NowG3767 withG1537 the rewardG3408 forG3588 his wickednessG93 Judas boughtG2932 a fieldG5564; there he fellG1096 headlongG4248 and burst openG2997 in the middleG3319, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 intestinesG4698 spilled outG1632. 19This becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 who livedG2730 in JerusalemG2419, soG5620 they calledG2564 thatG1565 fieldG5564 inG3588 theirG846 ownG2398 languageG1258 AkeldamaG184, thatG3778 isG1510, FieldG5564 of BloodG129.)

20“ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568:

andG2532,

21ThereforeG3767 it is necessaryG1163 to choose one of theG3588 menG435 who have accompaniedG4905 usG1473 the wholeG1722G3956 timeG5550 theG3588 LordG2962 JesusG2424 went inG1525 andG2532 outG1831 amongG1909 usG1473, 22beginningG756 fromG575 John’sG2491 baptismG908 untilG2193 theG3588 dayG2250 Jesus was taken upG353 fromG575 usG1473. For oneG1520 of theseG3778 must becomeG1096 a witnessG3144 withG4862 usG1473 ofG3588 HisG846 resurrectionG386.”

23So they proposedG2476 twoG1417 men: JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923 (also known asG1941 JustusG2459) andG2532 MatthiasG3159. 24AndG2532 they prayedG4336, “LordG2962, YouG4771 know everyone’s heartG2589G3956. ShowG322 us whichG3739G1520 ofG1537 theseG3778 twoG1417 You have chosenG1586 25to take upG2983G3588G5117 thisG3778 ministryG1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, whichG3739 JudasG2455 abandonedG3845 to goG4198 toG1519 hisG3588 rightful placeG5117.”

26ThenG2532 they castG1325 lotsG2819G846, andG2532 theG3588 lotG2819 fellG4098 toG1909 MatthiasG3159. So he was addedG4785 toG3326 theG3588 elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
