"Brothers, the prediction of the Scriptures had to come true that the holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide for the men that arrested Jesus??17 for he was one of our number and a share in this ministry of ours fell to his lot."

The high priest said, "Is this statement true?"

Take care, therefore, that what is said in the prophets does not prove true of you:

The Jews there were more high-minded than those at Thessalonica, and received the message with great eagerness and studied the Scriptures every day, to find out whether it was true.

The Jews also joined in these charges, and said that the statement was true.
