Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Acts 1
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 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, 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 bishoprick let another take.
²¹ Wherefore of these men which have companied 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 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 these two thou hast chosen,
²⁵ That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from 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.
Acts 2
¹ And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
