¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day's journey.

¹³ And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James.

¹⁴ All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁵ In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said: (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty:)

¹⁶ Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:

¹⁷ Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

²¹ Wherefore of these men who have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,

²² Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection.

²³ And they appointed two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²⁴ And praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

²⁵ To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place.

²⁶ And they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
