Acts of the Apostles 1:21

In context

19Everyone living in Jerusalem came to hear of it, so that in their own language the field was called Akeldama, which means Field of Blood. 20“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘Let his home be left deserted, with no one living in it,’ and, ‘Let someone else take over his charge.’ 21So of the men who kept us company the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22beginning from John’s baptism until the day he was taken up from us — one of these must become, with us, a witness of his resurrection.” 23They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, also known as Justus, and Matthias.
