“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke in advance about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.

For David says of Him:

I saw the Lord ever before me;
because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

I will rebuild its ruins
and set it up again,
