* For it is written (5769 ) in the book of Psalms , Let his habitation be (5676 ) desolate , and let (5749 ) no man dwell (5723 ) therein : and his bishoprick let another take (5630 ). * Wherefore of these men which have companied (5631 ) with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in (5627 ) and out (5627 ) among us , * Beginning (5671 ) from the baptism of John , unto that same day that he was taken up (5681 ) from us , must (5748 ) one be ordained (5635 ) to be a witness with us of his resurrection . * And they appointed (5627 ) two , Joseph called (5746 ) Barsabas , who was surnamed (5681 ) Justus , and Matthias . * And they prayed (5666 ), and said (5627 ), Thou , Lord , which knowest the hearts of all men , shew (5657 ) whether of these two thou hast chosen (5668 ), * That he may take (5629 ) part of this ministry and apostleship , from which Judas by transgression fell (5627 ), that he might go (5677 ) to his own place . * And they gave forth (5656 ) their lots ; and the lot fell (5627 ) upon Matthias ; and he was numbered (5681 ) with the eleven apostles .
