The Acts

²¹Of the men therefore which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, ²²beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection. ²³And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew of these two the one whom thou hast chosen, ²⁵to take the place in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place. ²⁶And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
