"Now this man bought a plot of ground with the price of his treachery, and falling there headlong he burst asunder and all his bowels gushed out.

"For it is written in the Book of Psalms, Let his dwelling-place be desolate; Let no man dwell there, also, Let another take his work. "It is necessary then that, of the men who have been associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, from his baptism by John down to the day on which he was taken up from us, one should join us a witness to his resurrection." So they placed two in nomination, Joseph called Bar-Sabbas (surnamed Justas) and Matthias; and they prayed, saying.
