Acts 1:16-25

16“Brethren, 1the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, 2who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17For he was 3counted among us and received his share in 4this ministry.” 18(Now this man 5acquired a field with 6the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. 19And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in 7their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20“For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘8Let his homestead be made desolate, And let no one dwell in it’; and, ‘9Let another man take his 10office.’ 21Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that 11the Lord Jesus went in and out 12among us-- 2213beginning 14with the baptism of John until the day that He 15was taken up from us--one of these must become a 16witness with us of His resurrection.” 23So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and 17Matthias. 24And they 18prayed and said, “You, Lord, 19who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen 25to 20occupy 21this ministry and 22apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”
