[15] And in days Peter stood up in the midst and said, (the number of names together an hundred and twenty,) [16] Men and brethren, scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. [17] For numbered and had obtained part 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 bowels gushed out. [19] And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, The field of blood. [20] For it is written in the book of Psalms, his habitation be desolate, and no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick another take. [21] Wherefore men which have companied all the time that the Lord Jesus in and out among [22] Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from one be ordained to be a witness with of his resurrection. [23] And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. [24] And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of two thou hast chosen, [25] That he may take ministry and apostleship, which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. [26] And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
