21 Therefore, of these men who have associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the immersion of John till the day on which he was taken up from us, must one be appointed as a witness with us of his resurrection. 23 And they set apart two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias; 24 and praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, make known which of these two thou hast chosen, 25 that he may be appointed to this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. 26 And they gave in their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias: and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
