18 (Now this man purchased a field by means of the wages of his unrighteousness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.
19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: 'Let his homestead become desolate, and let no one dwell in it'; and, 'May another take his office of overseer. '
21 "Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us in every time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."
23 And they nominated two: Joseph who is called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, knower of all hearts, show whom You have chosen of these two"
25 "to receive the portion in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."
26 And they cast their lots. And the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
