21 Therefore the men having come together with us all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in unto us and went out, 22 beginning from the baptism of John, until the day on which He was taken up from us, it behooveth one of these to be witness of His resurrection along with us. 23 And they nominated two, Joseph, called Barsabas who was called Justus, and Matthias. 24 And praying they said, Thou, O Lord, Heart-searcher of all, show up the one of these two, whom thou hast chosen 25 to receive the place of this ministry and apostleship from which Judas departed to go into his own place. 26 And they gave lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
