20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms:
and,
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us, 22 beginning from John’s baptism(C) to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness(D) with us of his resurrection.”
23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed,(E) “Lord, you know everyone’s heart.(F) Show us(G) which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.(H)

20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:
Let his dwelling become desolate;
let no one live in it;[a] and
Let someone else take his position.(A)[b]
21 “Therefore, from among the men who have accompanied us during the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us— 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day He was taken up from us—from among these, it is necessary that one become a witness with us of His resurrection.”(B)
23 So they proposed two: Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.(C) 24 Then they prayed,(D) “You, Lord, know the hearts of all; show which of these two You have chosen(E) 25 to take the place[c] in this apostolic service(F) that Judas left to go to his own place.” 26 Then they cast lots(G) for them, and the lot fell to Matthias. So he was numbered with the 11 apostles.

20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms,
(A)“‘May his camp become desolate,
and let there be no one to dwell in it’;
and
(B)“‘Let another take his office.’
21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during (C)all the time that the Lord Jesus (D)went in and out among us, 22 (E)beginning from the baptism of John until the day when (F)he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us (G)a witness to his resurrection.” 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called (H)Barsabbas, who was also called (I)Justus, and (J)Matthias. 24 And (K)they prayed and said, “You, Lord, (L)who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in (M)this ministry and (N)apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
