Acts 1:12-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away. 13When they had entered the city, they went up to the upstairs room where they were staying, that is, Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. 14All these were continually devoting themselves with one mind to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15At this time Peter stood up among the brothers and sisters (a group of about 120 people was there together), and said,
16Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17For he was counted among us and received his share in this ministry.'
18(Now this man acquired a field with the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.
19And it became known to all the residents of Jerusalem; as a result that field was called Hakeldama in their own language, that is, Field of Blood.)
20For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘MAY HIS RESIDENCE BE MADE DESOLATE, AND MAY THERE BE NONE LIVING IN IT’; and, ‘MAY ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE.’
21Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us—
22beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.'
23So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.
24And they prayed and said, 'You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two You have chosen
25to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.'
26And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.
King James Version
Chapter 1
12Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. 13And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both 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. 14These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
16Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
21Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Chapter 1
12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near Jerusalem—a Sabbath day’s journey away. 13When they arrived, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying: Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. 14They all were continually united in prayer, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15In those days Peter stood up among the brothers and sisters —the number of people who were together was about a hundred and twenty—and said:
16"Brothers and sisters, it was necessary that the Scripture be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David foretold about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17For he was one of our number and shared in this ministry."
18Now this man acquired a field with his unrighteous wages. He fell headfirst, his body burst open and his intestines spilled out.
19This became known to all the residents of Jerusalem, so that in their own language that field is called Hakeldama (that is, Field of Blood).
21"Therefore, from among the men who have accompanied us during the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us—
22beginning from the baptism of John until the day he was taken up from us—from among these, it is necessary that one become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23So they proposed two: Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.
24Then they prayed, "You, Lord, know everyone’s hearts; show which of these two you have chosen
25to take the place in this apostolic ministry that Judas left to go where he belongs."
26Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias and he was added to the eleven apostles.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
12Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, a distance of half a mile.
13When they arrived, they went to the upstairs room of the house where they were staying. Here are the names of those who were present: Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James (son of Alphaeus), Simon (the zealot), and Judas (son of James).
14They all met together and were constantly united in prayer, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, several other women, and the brothers of Jesus.
15During this time, when about 120 believers were together in one place, Peter stood up and addressed them.
16Brothers,' he said, 'the Scriptures had to be fulfilled concerning Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus. This was predicted long ago by the Holy Spirit, speaking through King David.
17Judas was one of us and shared in the ministry with us.'
18(Judas had bought a field with the money he received for his treachery. Falling headfirst there, his body split open, spilling out all his intestines.
19The news of his death spread to all the people of Jerusalem, and they gave the place the Aramaic name Akeldama, which means 'Field of Blood.')
21So now we must choose a replacement for Judas from among the men who were with us the entire time we were traveling with the Lord Jesus —
22from the time he was baptized by John until the day he was taken from us. Whoever is chosen will join us as a witness of Jesus’ resurrection.'
23So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
24Then they all prayed, 'O Lord, you know every heart. Show us which of these men you have chosen
25as an apostle to replace Judas in this ministry, for he has deserted us and gone where he belongs.'
26Then they cast lots, and Matthias was selected to become an apostle with the other eleven.

15In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said,
16"Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry."
18(Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
19And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20"For it is written in the Book of Psalms, "‘May his camp become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in it’; and "‘Let another take his office.’
21So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22beginning 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."
23And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.

Chapter 1
12Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city. 13When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15In those days Peter stood up among the believers (a group numbering about a hundred and twenty)
16and said, "Brothers and sisters, the Scripture had to be fulfilled in which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through David concerning Judas, who served as guide for those who arrested Jesus.
17He was one of our number and shared in our ministry."
18(With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.
19Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
21Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us,
22beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
24Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen
25to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs."
26Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
