44:001:018 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.
44:001:019 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.
44:001:020 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.
44:001:021 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
44:001:022 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.
44:001:023 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
44:001:024 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the
hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
44:001:025 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
44:001:026 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon
Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
44:002:001 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
with one accord in one place.
