Acts:1:16-25
rsv@Acts:1:16 @ "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.
rsv@Acts:1:17 @ For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry.
rsv@Acts:1:18 @ (Now this man bought a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
rsv@Acts:1:19 @ And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Akel'dama, that is, Field of Blood.)
rsv@Acts:1:20 @ For it is written in the book of Psalms, `Let his habitation become desolate, and let there be no one to live in it'; and `His office let another take.'
rsv@Acts:1:21 @ So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
rsv@Acts:1:22 @ beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us--one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection."
rsv@Acts:1:23 @ And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsab'bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthi'as.
rsv@Acts:1:24 @ And they prayed and said, "Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which one of these two thou hast chosen
rsv@Acts:1:25 @ to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place."
