Acts 1:16-26 Men, brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Men, brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus. ¹⁷ Because he was numbered with us, and obtained the office of this ministry.— ¹⁸ Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. ¹⁹ And it became known to all who dwell at Jerusalem; so that that field was called, in their own tongue, Aceldama, that is, Field of blood.— ²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no one dwell therein. And: Let another take his office. ²¹ Therefore, of these men, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, ²² beginning from John's immersion, unto the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection. ²³ And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴ And they prayed, saying: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show which of these two thou didst choose, ²⁵ that he may take part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place. ²⁶ And they gave their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
