Acts 1:20-22
New King James Version

20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:

(A)‘Let his dwelling place be [a]desolate,
And let no one live in it’;

and,

(B)‘Let another take his [b]office.’

21 “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when (C)He was taken up from us, one of these must (D)become a witness with us of His resurrection.”

Acts 1:20-22
New International Version

20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms:

“‘May his place be deserted;
    let there be no one to dwell in it,’[a](A)

and,

“‘May another take his place of leadership.’[b](B)

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.”
