Acts 1:11-18

11They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen him going into heaven.”

12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem — a Sabbath day’s journey away.

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

14They all were continually united in prayer, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

15In those days Peter stood up among the brothers and sisters  — the number of people who were together was about a hundred twenty — and said,

16“Brothers and sisters, it was necessary that the Scripture be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David foretold about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.

17For he was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”

18Now this man acquired a field with his unrighteous wages. He fell headfirst, his body burst open and his intestines spilled out.
