Acts 1:23-26

New International Reader's Version

²³ So they suggested the names of two men. One was Joseph, who was called Barsabbas. He was also called Justus. The other man was Matthias. ²⁴ Then the believers prayed. They said, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen. ²⁵ Show us who should take the place of Judas as an apostle. He gave up being an apostle to go where he belongs.” ²⁶ Then they cast lots. Matthias was chosen. So he was added to the 11 apostles.
