Acts 1:25

Judas

23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.

24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen

to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”

26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
