NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ »Brothers, the Scripture needed to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus. ¹⁷ »He was numbered among us, and shared in this ministry. ¹⁸ »This man obtained a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong, he burst open and all his intestines spilled out. (Matthew 27:5 says he hanged himself. The rope broke or the branch on which it was tied broke. Then he fell to the ground and burst open.) ¹⁹ »It became known to all who live in Jerusalem that the field was called the field of blood, in their language; Akeldama. ²⁰ »It is written in the book of Psalms: ‘Let his habitation be made desolate and let no man dwell there. Let another take his office.’ (Psalm 109:8) ²¹ »Someone must join us as a witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. He must be one of the men who were in our group during the time that the Lord Jesus traveled about with us. This should be from the time John preached his message of baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us to heaven.
