Acts 1:11-18

11They also said, “1Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into 2the sky? This Jesus, who 3has been taken up from you into heaven, will 4come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

12Then they 5returned to Jerusalem from the 67mount called 8Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a 9Sabbath day’s journey away. 13When they had entered the city, they went up to 10the upper room where they were staying; 11that is, Peter and John and 12James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, 13James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and 14Judas the 15son of 16James. 14These all with one mind 17were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with 18the women, and Mary the 19mother of Jesus, and with His 20brothers.

1521At this time Peter stood up in the midst of 22the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty 23persons was there together), and said, 16“Brethren, 24the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, 25who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17For he was 26counted among us and received his share in 27this ministry.” 18(Now this man 28acquired a field with 29the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.
