21ThereforeG3767 it is necessaryG1163 that of the menG435 who have accompaniedG4905 us allG3956 the timeG5550 that 1the LordG2962 JesusG2424 wentG1831 in and out 2amongG1909 us--

223beginningG757 4with the baptismG908 of JohnG2491 untilG2193 the dayG2250 that He 5was takenG353 up from us--oneG1520 of theseG3778 must becomeG1096 a 6witnessG3144 with us of His resurrectionG386.”

23SoG2532 they putG2476 forwardG2476 twoG1417 menG1417, JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923 (whoG3739 was also calledG1941 JustusG2459), and 7MatthiasG3103.

24And they 8prayedG4336 and saidG3004, “You, LordG2962, 9whoG2589 knowG2589 the heartsG2589 of allG3956 menG3956, showG322 whichG3739 oneG1520 of theseG3778 twoG1417 You have chosenG1586

25to 10occupyG2983 11thisG3778 ministryG1248 and 12apostleshipG651 from whichG3739 JudasG2455 turnedG3845 asideG3845 to goG4198 to his ownG2398 placeG5117.”

26And they 1314drewG1325 lotsG2819 for them, and the lotG2819 fellG4098 15to 16MatthiasG3103; and he was 17addedG4785 to 18the elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
