21. Therefore, it is necessary that, out of these men who have been assembling with us throughout the entire time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22. beginning from the baptism of John, until the day when he was taken up from us, one of these be made a witness with us of his Resurrection."
23. And they appointed two: Joseph, who was called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24. And praying, they said: "May you, O Lord, who knows the heart of everyone, reveal which one of these two you have chosen,
25. to take a place in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas prevaricated, so that he might go to his own place."
26. And they cast lots concerning them, and the lot fell upon Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
