Acts 1:18-26

18(Now this man 1acquired a field with 2the 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 3their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20“For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘4Let his homestead be made desolate, And let no one dwell in it’; and, ‘5Let another man take his 6office.’ 21Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that 7the Lord Jesus went in and out 8among us-- 229beginning 10with the baptism of John until the day that He 11was taken up from us--one of these must become a 12witness with us of His resurrection.” 23So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and 13Matthias. 24And they 14prayed and said, “You, Lord, 15who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen 25to 16occupy 17this ministry and 18apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26And they 1920drew lots for them, and the lot fell 21to 22Matthias; and he was 23added to 24the eleven apostles.
