Acts 1:16-25

16MenG435 and brethrenG80, thisG3778 scriptureG3588G1124 must needsG1163 have been fulfilledG4137, whichG3739 theG3588G4151 HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of DavidG1138 spake beforeG4302 concerningG4012 JudasG2455, which wasG1096 guideG3595 to them that tookG3588G4815 JesusG3588G2424.

17ForG3754 heG2674 wasG1510 numberedG2674 withG4862 usG1473, andG2532 had obtainedG2975 partG3588G2819 of thisG3778 ministryG3588G1248.

18NowG3767 this manG3778 purchasedG2932 a fieldG5564 withG1537 the rewardG3588G3408 of iniquityG3588G93; andG2532 fallingG1096 headlongG4248, he burst asunderG2997 in the midstG3319, andG2532 allG3956 hisG846 bowelsG3588G4698 gushed outG1632.

19AndG2532 it wasG1096 knownG1110 unto allG3956 the dwellersG2730 at JerusalemG2419; insomuch asG5620 thatG1565 fieldG3588G5564 is calledG2564 in theirG846 properG2398 tongueG1258, AceldamaG184, thatG3778 is to sayG1510, The fieldG5564 of bloodG129.

20ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of PsalmsG5568, LetG1096 hisG846 habitationG3588G1886 beG1096 desolateG2048, andG2532 letG1510 noG3361 man dwellG2730 thereinG1722: andG2532 hisG846 bishoprickG3588G1984 letG2983 anotherG2087 takeG2983.

21WhereforeG3767 of these menG435 whichG3588 have companiedG4905 with usG1473 allG3956 the timeG5550 thatG3739 the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 went inG1525 andG2532 outG1831 amongG1909 usG1473,

22BeginningG756 fromG575 the baptismG3588G908 of JohnG2491, untoG2193 that sameG3739 dayG3588G2250 thatG3739 he was taken upG353 fromG575 usG1473, mustG1096 oneG1520 be ordained to beG1096 a witnessG3144 withG4862 usG1473 of hisG846 resurrectionG3588G386.

23AndG2532 they appointedG2476 twoG1417, JosephG2501 calledG2564 BarsabasG923, whoG3739 was surnamedG1941 JustusG2459, andG2532 MatthiasG3159.

24AndG2532 they prayedG4336, andG2532 saidG3004, ThouG4771, LordG2962, which knowest the heartsG2589 of allG3956 men, shewG322 whetherG3739 ofG1537 theseG3778 twoG3588G1417 thou hast chosenG1586,

25That he may takeG2983 partG3588G2819 of thisG3778 ministryG3588G1248 andG2532 apostleshipG651, fromG1537 whichG3739 JudasG2455 by transgression fellG3845, that he might goG4198 toG1519 his ownG3588G2398 placeG3588G5117.
