Acts 1:20-25 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

20. “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:Let his dwelling become desolate;let no one live in it; andLet someone else take his position.

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.”

23. So they proposed two: Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.

24. Then they prayed, “You, Lord, know the hearts of all; show which of these two You have chosen

25. to take the place in this apostolic service that Judas left to go to his own place.”
