12ThenG5119 they 1returnedG5290 to JerusalemG2419 from the 23mountainG3735 calledG2564 4OlivetG1638, whichG3739 is nearG1451 JerusalemG2419, a 5SabbathG4521 day’s journeyG3598 away. 13WhenG3753 they had enteredG1525 the city, they wentG305 upG305 to 6the upstairsG5253 roomG5253 whereG3757 they were stayingG2650, that is, 7PeterG4074, JohnG2491, 8JamesG2385, and AndrewG406, PhilipG5376 and ThomasG2381, BartholomewG918 and MatthewG3102, 9JamesG2385 the son of AlphaeusG256, SimonG4613 the ZealotG2208, and 10JudasG2455 the 11son of 12JamesG2385. 14AllG3956 theseG3778 13were continuallyG4342 devotingG4342 themselvesG4342 with oneG3661 14mindG3661 to prayerG4335, alongG4862 with 15the womenG1135, and MaryG3137 the 16motherG3384 of JesusG2424, and with His 17brothersG80.

1518At thisG3778 timeG2250 PeterG4074 stoodG450 upG450 amongG3319 19the brothersG80 and sisters (a groupG3793 of aboutG5613 120G1540G1501 20peopleG3686 was there togetherG1909G3588G846), and saidG3004, 16“21BrothersG435G80, 22the ScriptureG1124 hadG1163 to be fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 foretoldG4275 by the mouthG4750 of DavidG1160 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, 23who becameG1096 a guideG3595 to thoseG3588 who arrestedG4815 JesusG2424. 17For he was 24countedG2674 amongG1722 us and receivedG2975 his shareG2819 in 25thisG3778 ministryG1248.” 18(NowG3767 thisG3778 manG3778 26acquiredG2932 a fieldG5564 with 27the priceG3408 of his wickednessG93, and fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burstG2979 openG2979 in the middleG3319 and allG3956 his intestinesG4698 gushedG1632 outG1632. 19And it becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 the residentsG2730 of JerusalemG2419; asG5620 aG5620 resultG5620 that fieldG5564 was calledG2564 HakeldamaG184 in 28their ownG2398 languageG1258, that is, FieldG5564 of BloodG129.) 20“For it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568: ‘29May his residenceG1886 be madeG1096 desolateG2048, And may there be noneG3361 livingG2730 in it’; and, ‘30May anotherG2087 takeG2983 his 31officeG1984.’ 21ThereforeG3767 it is necessaryG1163 that of the menG435 who have accompaniedG4905 us allG3956 the timeG5550 that 32the LordG2962 JesusG2424 wentG1525 inG1525 and outG1831 33amongG1909 us-- 2234beginningG757 35with the baptismG908 of JohnG2491 untilG2193 the dayG2250 that He 36was takenG353 upG353 from us--oneG1520 of theseG3778 must becomeG1096 a 37witnessG3144 with us of His resurrectionG386.” 23SoG2532 they putG2476 forwardG2476 twoG1417 menG1417, JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabbasG923 (whoG3739 was also calledG1941 JustusG2459), and 38MatthiasG3103. 24And they 39prayedG4336 and saidG3004, “You, LordG2962, who 40knowG2589 theG2589 heartsG2589 of allG3956 people, showG322 whichG3739 oneG1520 of theseG3778 twoG1417 You have chosenG1586 25to 41occupyG2983 42thisG3778 ministryG1248 and 43apostleshipG651 from whichG3739 JudasG2455 turnedG3845 asideG3845 to goG4198 to his ownG2398 placeG5117.” 26And they 4445drewG1325 lotsG2819 for them, and the lotG2819 fellG4098 46to 47MatthiasG3103; and he was addedG4785 to 48the elevenG1733 apostlesG652.
