Acts 1:21-26

21“Therefore one of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Yeshua went in and out among us—

22beginning with His immersion by John until the day He was taken up from us—must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

23So they nominated two—Joseph, called Barsabbas (also called Justus), and Matthias.

24And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who knows the hearts of all men, show us which of these two You have chosen

25to take the position in this office as emissary, from which Judah turned aside to go to his own place.”

26Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was added to the eleven emissaries.
