Acts 1:24
Compare all
22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when aHe was taken up from us, one of these must bbecome a witness with us of His resurrection.”  
23 And they proposed two: Joseph called aBarsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.  
24 And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, awho know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen  
25 ato take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.”  
26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Acts 1:24

Show us the one whom thou hast chosen (anadeicon on ecelecw). First aorist active imperative of anadeiknumi, to show up, make plain. First aorist middle indicative second person singular of eklegw, to pick out, choose, select. In this prayer they assume that God has made a choice. They only wish to know his will. They call God the

heart-searcher or

heart-knower (kardiognwsta, vocative singular), a late word, here and Acts 15:8 only in the N.T. Modern physicians have delicate apparatus for studying the human heart.
