Matthias Chosen

15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the1 disciples (altogether the number aof names was about a hundred and twenty), and said,  
16 “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, awhich the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, bwho became a guide to those who arrested Jesus;  
17 for ahe was numbered with us and obtained a part in bthis ministry.”  
18 a(Now this man purchased a field with bthe wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his2 entrails gushed out.  
19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:
a‘Let his dwelling place be1 desolate,
And let no one live in it’; and,
b‘Let another take his1 office.’  
21 “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
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.
