And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples and said - the number of names that were together, were about a hundred and twenty - "Ye men and brethren, this scripture must have needs been fulfilled which the holy ghost, through the mouth of David, spake before of Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus: For he was now numbered with us and had obtained fellowship in this ministration. read more.
And the same hath now possessed a plot of ground with the reward of iniquity. And when he was hanged, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it is known unto all the inhabiters of Jerusalem. Insomuch that that field is called in their mother tongue, Akeldama, that is to say the blood field. It is written in the book of psalms, 'His habitation be void, and no man be dwelling therein,' and, 'His bishoprick let another take.' Wherefore of these men which have companied with us - all the time that the Lord Jesus went out and in among us, beginning at the baptism of John unto that same day that he was taken up from us - must one be ordained to bear witness with us of his resurrection." And they appointed two: Joseph called Barsabbas, whose surname was Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, saying, "Thou Lord which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether thou hast chosen of these two, that the one may take the room of this ministration, and apostleship from the which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." And they gave forth their lots, and the lot fell on Mathias. And he was counted with the eleven apostles.
