Acts 1:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁸ With the money he received from the wrong he had done, he bought a piece of land where he fell headfirst to his death. His body split open, and all his internal organs came out. ¹⁹ Everyone living in Jerusalem knows about this. They even call that piece of land Akeldama, which means ‘Field of Blood’ in their dialect. ²⁰ You’ve read in Psalms, ‘Let his home be deserted, and let no one live there,’ and ‘Let someone else take his position.’

“Therefore, someone must be added to our number to serve with us as a witness that Jesus came back to life.
