Acts 1:16-25 - WEB
16
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called `Akeldama,` that is, `The field of blood.`
20
For it is written in the book of Psalms, `Let his habitation be made desolate, Let no one dwell therein,` and, `Let another take his office.`
21
Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
22
beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
25
to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place."
