Acts 1:19-25
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
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.
24And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen
25to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place."
