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.
