*
Then they returned unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet ,
which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day '
s journey .
*
And when they were come in ,
they went up into an upper room ,
where Peter and James and John and Andrew ,
Philip and Thomas ,
Bartholomew and Matthew ,
James [
the son ]
of Alphaeus and Simon Zelotes ,
and Judas [
the brother ]
of James were .
*
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication ,
with the women and Mary ,
the mother of Jesus ,
and with his brethren .
*
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples and said (
the number of names together were about one hundred and twenty ),
*
Men [
and ]
brethren ,
this scripture must needs have been fulfilled ,
which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas ,
who was guide to those that took Jesus .
*
For he was numbered with us ,
and had obtained a lot [
or inheritance ]
of this ministry .
*
He ,
therefore ,
purchased a field with the reward of [
his ]
iniquity ;
and hanging himself ,
he burst asunder in the midst ,
and all his bowels gushed out .
*
And it was known unto all the dwellers of Jerusalem ,
in such a manner that the field is called in their proper tongue ,
Aceldama ,
that is to say ,
The field of blood .
*
For it is written in the book of Psalms ,
Let his habitation be desolate ,
and let no one dwell therein ,
and let another take his office .
*
It behooves ,
therefore ,
of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us ,
*
beginning from the baptism of John unto that same day that he was received on high from [
among ]
us ,
that one must be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection .
*
And they appointed two ,
Joseph called Barsabas ,
who was surnamed Justus ,
and Matthias .
*
And they prayed and said ,
Thou ,
Lord ,
who knowest the hearts of everyone ,
show which of these two thou hast chosen ,
*
that he may take the lot [
or inheritance ]
of this ministry and apostleship ,
from which Judas rebelled that he might go to his own place .
*
And they gave forth their lots ,
and the lot fell upon Matthias ,
and he was numbered with the eleven apostles .:
