21 It is necessary, therefore, that one of these men, who have been with us during all the time that our LORD Jesus went in and out among us, 22 Beginning from the baptism of John until the day he ascended from among us, become a partner with us as a witness of his resurrection. 23 So they appointed two: Joseph called Bar’sa-bas who was surnamed Justus, and Mat-thi’as. 24 And as they prayed, they said, O LORD, you know what is in the hearts of all men; show which of these two you choose, 25 That he may receive the lot to the ministry and apostleship, from which Judas has been relieved to go his own way. 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Mat-thi’as; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
