Bible: Acts 1:21-26
1:21 Thus one of the men 1 who have accompanied us during all the time the Lord Jesus associated with 2 us, 1:22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day he 3 was taken up from us – one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.” 1:23 So they 4 proposed two candidates: 5 Joseph called Barsabbas (also called Justus) and Matthias. 1:24 Then they prayed, 6 “Lord, you know the hearts of all. Show us which one of these two you have chosen 1:25 to assume the task 7 of this service 8 and apostleship from which Judas turned aside 9 to go to his own place.” 10 1:26 Then 11 they cast lots for them, and the one chosen was Matthias; 12 so he was counted with the eleven apostles. 13
