Acts of the Apostles 1:24

In context

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. 24Then they prayed: “Lord, you know the hearts of all. Show us which of these two you have chosen 25to take the place of this ministry and apostleship that Judas abandoned to go where he belonged.” 26They drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias, and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
