Acts 1:16-25

16“1Brothers, 2the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, 3who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17For he was 4counted among us and received his share in 5this ministry.” 18(Now this man 6acquired a field with 7the 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 the residents of Jerusalem; as a result that field was called Hakeldama in 8their own language, that is, Field of Blood.) 20“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘9May his residence be made desolate, And may there be none living in it’; and, ‘10May another take his 11office.’ 21Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that 12the Lord Jesus went in and out 13among us-- 2214beginning 15with the baptism of John until the day that He 16was taken up from us--one of these must become a 17witness with us of His resurrection.” 23So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and 18Matthias. 24And they 19prayed and said, “You, Lord, who 20know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two You have chosen 25to 21occupy 22this ministry and 23apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”
