Acts 1:21-26 ▼

21 who was one of the men associated with us all the time the Lord Jesus came and went among us,

22 beginning when he was baptized by John until the day he was taken up from us. Therefore, someone like this must become a witness with us to his resurrection.|

23 So they nominated two men—Joseph called Barsabbas, who also was called Justus, and Matthias.

24 Then they prayed, |Lord, you know the hearts of all people. Show us which one of these two men you have chosen

25 to serve in this office of apostle, from which Judas left to go to his own place.|

26 So they drew lots for them, and when the lot fell on Matthias, he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.
