44:001:016 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
44:001:017 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
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.
