16 Men, brethren, it behooved the scripture which the Holy Ghost predicted through the mouth of David concerning Judas, the one becoming leader to those arresting Jesus, to be fulfilled;
17 because he was numbered among us and received the lot of this ministry.
18 Then indeed he purchased a field by the reward of iniquity, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels burst out;
19 which indeed was known to all those dwelling at Jerusalem, so that field, in their own dialect, is called Acheldamach; that is, field of blood.
20 For it has been written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no one dwelling in it, and let another take his pastorate.
21 Therefore the men having come together with us all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in unto us and went out,
22 beginning from the baptism of John, until the day on which He was taken up from us, it behooveth one of these to be witness of His resurrection along with us.
23 And they nominated two, Joseph, called Barsabas who was called Justus, and Matthias.
24 And praying they said, Thou, O Lord, Heart-searcher of all, show up the one of these two, whom thou hast chosen
25 to receive the place of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas departed to go into his own place.
26 And they gave lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
