KJ2000(i)
16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his insides gushed out.
19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; since that field is called in their proper tongue, Akeldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his office let another take.
21 Therefore of these men who have accompanied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which of these two you have chosen,
25 That he may 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 upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
