Acts 1:20-26

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’

²¹“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out amongst us,

²²beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

²³They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.

²⁴They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

²⁵to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

²⁶They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
