Deeds (Act) of Apostles 1:18-26

¹⁸And this Judas had a field of the hire of wickedness, and he was hanged, and burst apart the middle, and all his entrails were shed abroad. (And this Judas bought a field with his wicked wages, and he hanged himself, and fell to the ground, and burst open his middle, and all his bowels, or all his innards, were poured out.)

¹⁹And it was made known to all men that dwelt in Jerusalem, so that that field was called Aceldama in the language of them, that is, the field of blood.

²⁰And it is written in the book of Psalms, The habitation of them be made desert or The habitation of him be made desert, and be there none that dwell in it, and another take his bishopric.

²¹Therefore it behooveth of these men, that be gathered together with us in all the time, in which the Lord Jesus entered in, and went out among us,

²²and began from the baptism of John till into the day in which he was taken up from us, that one of these be made a witness of his resurrection with us.

²³And they ordained twain, Joseph, that was called Barsabas, that was named Justus, and Matthias.

²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, that knowest the hearts of all men, show whom thou hast chosen of these twain,

²⁵that one take the place of this service or of this ministry and apostlehood, of which Judas trespassed, that he should go into his place (or so that he can take his place).

²⁶And they gave lots to them, and the lot felled on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
