Acts 1 📜 📕 ↷
16 You men, brethren, the scripture must be fulfilled which the Holy Ghost spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the captain of them that apprehended JESUS:📜💬📚
17 who was numbered among us and obtained the lot of this ministry.📜💬📚
18 And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged he burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.📜💬📚
19 And it was made notorious to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Hacel-dema, that is to say, the field of blood.📜💬📚
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: Be their habitation made desert, & be there none to dwell in it. And his Bishopric let another take.📜💬📚
21 Therefore, of these men that have assembled with us, all the time that our Lord JESUS went in and went out among us,📜💬📚
22 beginning from the Baptism of John until the day wherein he was assumpted from us, there must one of these be made a witness with us of his resurrection.📜💬📚
23 And they appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus: and Matthias.📜💬📚
24 And praying they said: Thou Lord that knowest the hearts of all men, shew of these two, one, whom thou hast chosen,📜💬📚
25 to take the place of this ministry & Apostleship, from the which Judas hath prevaricated that he might go to his own place.📜💬📚
