Acts 1:12-26 - Matthias Chosen To Replace Judas
12 Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olive, which is near Jerusalem, having the way of a sabbath. 13 And when they came in, they went up into an upper room, where were remaining also Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas of James.
14 All these were persevering unanimously in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary mother of Jesus, with his brethren.
15 And in these days Peter having risen in the midst of the disciples, said, (also the crowd of names together was about an hundred and twenty,) 16 Men, brethren, this writing must be filled up, which the Holy Spirit spake before by mouth of David concerning Judas, being guide to them having taken Jesus. 17 For he was numbered with us, and obtained the lot of this service. 18 Truly this therefore purchased a place from the wages of iniquity; and being bent forward, he brake in pieces in the midst, and all his entrails were poured out. 19 And it was known to all dwelling in Jerusalem; so that that place was called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, The place of blood. 20 For it has been written, in the book of Psalms, Let his country-house be a desert, and let none be dwelling in it: and his inspection may another take.
21 Therefore must there, of these men having come with us in all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and came out among us, 22 Having begun from the immersion of John, unto the day which he was taken up from us, be one of these a witness with you of his rising up.
23 And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And having prayed, they said, Thou, O Lord, knowing hearts of all, spew forth one of two which thou hast chosen, 25 To take the lot of this service and sending forth, from which Judas passed by, to go to his own place. 26 And he gave their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was voted together with the eleven sent.
