Today, we are reading Matthew 14; Leviticus 4; Galatians 2; Titus 3; Job 33; Psalms 131; Proverbs 2; Judges 8; Isaiah 31; Acts 1.

Matthew 14

1	At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2	And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
3	For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4	For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5	And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6	But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7	Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8	And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
9	And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10	And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
11	And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
12	And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13	When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
14	And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
15	And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16	But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17	And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18	He said, Bring them hither to me.
19	And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20	And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21	And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
22	And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23	And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24	But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25	And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26	And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27	But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28	And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29	And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30	But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31	And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32	And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33	Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34	And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35	And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
36	And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Leviticus 4

1	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
3	If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
4	And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
5	And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
6	And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the sanctuary.
7	And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8	And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
9	And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
10	As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.
11	And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
12	Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
13	And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
14	When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.
15	And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.
16	And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
17	And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the veil.
18	And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
19	And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
20	And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
21	And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
22	When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;
23	Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
24	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering.
25	And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
26	And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27	And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
28	Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
29	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30	And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
31	And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32	And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.
33	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34	And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
35	And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

Galatians 2

1	Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2	And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3	But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4	And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5	To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6	But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person: ) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7	But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8	(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles: )
9	And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10	Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11	But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12	For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13	And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14	But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15	We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16	Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17	But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18	For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19	For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20	I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21	I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Titus 3

1	Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2	To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.
3	For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4	But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
5	Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6	Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7	That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8	This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9	But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10	A man that is a heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
11	Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12	When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13	Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14	And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15	All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Job 33

1	Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2	Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3	My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
4	The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5	If thou canst answer me, set thywords in order before me, stand up.
6	Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7	Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8	Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9	I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10	Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
11	He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
12	Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13	Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
14	For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15	In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16	Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17	That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18	He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19	He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20	So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21	His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22	Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23	If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness:
24	Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25	His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26	He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
27	He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28	He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29	Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30	To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
31	Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
32	If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
33	If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

Psalms 131

1	A Song of degrees of David. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2	Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
3	Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and forever.

Proverbs 2

1	My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2	So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3	Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4	If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5	Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6	For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7	He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8	He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
9	Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10	When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11	Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12	To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13	Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14	Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15	Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16	To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17	Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18	For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19	None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20	That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21	For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22	But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Judges 8

1	And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
2	And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer?
3	God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
4	And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
5	And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
6	And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?
7	And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
8	And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
9	And he spoke also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
10	Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
11	And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.
12	And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
13	And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
14	And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.
15	And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?
16	And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
17	And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
18	Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
19	And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
20	And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
21	Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
22	Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.
23	And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
24	And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
25	And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
26	And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.
27	And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
28	Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
29	And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
30	And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
31	And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
32	And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulcher of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
33	And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.
34	And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
35	Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto Israel.

Isaiah 31

1	Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
2	Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
3	Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
4	For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
5	As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
6	Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7	For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
8	Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
9	And he shall pass over to his stronghold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

Acts 1

1	The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2	Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3	To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4	And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5	For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6	When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7	And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8	But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
9	And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10	And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11	Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12	Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
13	And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14	These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15	And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about a hundred and twenty,)
16	Men and brethren, this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
17	For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
18	Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19	And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20	For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric let another take.
21	Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22	Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23	And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24	And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25	That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
26	And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
