Acts 1:14–26

¹⁴These all ^jcontinued ^kwith one accord in prayer and supplication, with ^lthe women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with ^mhis brethren.

¹⁵And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, ⁿ(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 ^oby the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, ^pwhich was guide to them that took Jesus. ¹⁷For ^qhe was numbered with us, and had obtained part of ^rthis ministry. ¹⁸Now ^sthis man purchased a field with ^tthe reward of iniquity; and ^ufalling 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 ^wtheir proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, ^xThe field of blood. ²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, ^yLet his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and ^zhis ^||bishoprick let another take. ²¹Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus ^awent in and out among us, ^22bBeginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was ^ctaken up from us, must one be ordained to be ^da witness with us of his resurrection. ²³And they appointed two, Joseph called ^eBarsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and ^fMatthias. ²⁴And they ^gprayed, and said, Thou, Lord, ^hwhich knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, ²⁵That he may take part of ⁱthis ministry and ^japostleship, from which Judas by ^ktransgression fell, that he might go ^lto his own place. ²⁶And they gave forth their lots; and ^mthe lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
