Acts 1:12-26
12ThenG5119 they 1returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 from the 23mountG3735 calledG2564 4OlivetG1638, whichG3739 is nearG1451 JerusalemG2419, a 5SabbathG4521 day’s journeyG3598 away. 13WhenG3753 they had enteredG1525 the city, they wentG305 up to 6the upperG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 they were stayingG2650; 7that is, PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 and 8JamesG2385 and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 and ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 and MatthewG3102, 9JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, and SimonG4613 the ZealotG2208, and 10JudasG2455 the 11son of 12JamesG2385. 14TheseG3778 allG3956 with oneG3661 mindG3661 13were continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 to prayerG4335, alongG4862 with 14the womenG1135, and MaryG3137 the 15motherG3384 of JesusG2424, and with His 16brothersG80.
1517At thisG3778 timeG2250 PeterG4074 stoodG450 up in the midstG3319 of 18the brethrenG80 (a gatheringG3793 of aboutG5616 oneG1540 hundredG1540 and twentyG1501 19personsG3686 was there togetherG1909G3588G846), and saidG3004, 16“BrethrenG435G80, 20the ScriptureG1124 hadG1163 to be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 foretoldG4275 by the mouthG4750 of DavidG1160 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, 21who becameG1096 a guideG3595 to thoseG3588 who arrestedG4815 JesusG2424. 17For he was 22countedG2674 amongG1722 us and receivedG2975 his shareG2819 in 23thisG3778 ministryG1248.” 18(NowG3767 thisG3778 manG3778 24acquiredG2932 a fieldG5564 with 25the priceG3408 of his wickednessG93, and fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burstG2997 openG2997 in the middleG3319 and allG3956 his intestinesG4698 gushedG1632 out. 19And it becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 who were livingG2730 in JerusalemG2419; soG5620 that in 26their ownG2398 languageG1258 that fieldG5564 was calledG2564 HakeldamaG184, that is, FieldG5564 of BloodG129.) 20“For it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, ‘27Let his homesteadG1886 be madeG1096 desolateG2048, And let noG3361 oneG3361 dwellG2730 in it’; and, ‘28Let anotherG2087 manG2087 takeG2983 his 29officeG1984.’ 21ThereforeG3767 it is necessaryG1163 that of the menG435 who have accompaniedG4905 us allG3956 the timeG5550 that 30the LordG2962 JesusG2424 wentG1831 in and out 31amongG1909 us-- 2232beginningG757 33with the baptismG908 of JohnG2491 untilG2193 the dayG2250 that He 34was takenG353 up from us--oneG1520 of theseG3778 must becomeG1096 a 35witnessG3144 with us of His resurrectionG386.” 23SoG2532 they putG2476 forwardG2476 twoG1417 menG1417, JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923 (whoG3739 was also calledG1941 JustusG2459), and 36MatthiasG3103. 24And they 37prayedG4336 and saidG3004, “You, LordG2962, 38whoG2589 knowG2589 the heartsG2589 of allG3956 menG3956, showG322 whichG3739 oneG1520 of theseG3778 twoG1417 You have chosenG1586 25to 39occupyG2983 40thisG3778 ministryG1248 and 41apostleshipG651 from whichG3739 JudasG2455 turnedG3845 asideG3845 to goG4198 to his ownG2398 placeG5117.” 26And they 4243drewG1325 lotsG2819 for them, and the lotG2819 fellG4098 44to 45MatthiasG3103; and he was 46addedG4785 to 47the elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
