Ma`asei (Acts) 1:12-26

Then they went back to Yerushalayim from the Mount of Olives, which is near Yerushalayim, a Sabbath day’s journey. And when they came in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: both Kĕpha and Ya‛aqoḇ and Yoḥanan and Andri, Philip and T’oma, Bartholomi and Mattithyahu, Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Alphai and Shim‛on the Zealot, and Yehuḏah the son of Ya‛aqoḇ. All these were continuing with one mind in prayer and supplication, with the women and Miryam the mother of יהושע, and with His brothers. And in those days Kĕpha, standing up in the midst of the taught ones – and there was a gathering of about a hundred and twenty – said, “Men and brothers, this Scripture had to be filled which the Set-apart Spirit spoke before by the mouth of Dawiḏ concerning Yehuḏah, who became a guide to those who seized יהושע, “because he was numbered with us and did receive his share in this service. (This one, therefore, purchased a field with the wages of unrighteousness, and falling forward, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Yerushalayim, so that in their own language that field was called, Ḥaqal Dema, that is, Field of Blood). “For it has been written in the Book of Tehillim, ‘Let his dwelling lie waste, and let no one live in it,’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’ It is therefore necessary that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Master יהושע went in and out among us,” beginning from the immersion of Yoḥanan to that day when He was taken up from us, that one of these should become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they put forward two: Yosĕph called Barsabba, who was also called Justus, and Mattithyahu. And praying they said, “You, יהוה, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two You have chosen to receive the share in this service and office of the emissary from which Yehuḏah by transgression fell, to go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Mattithyahu. And he was numbered with the eleven emissaries.
