23 [a]And they [b]presented two, Joseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, saying, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen,
25 That he may take the [c]room of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Judas hath [d]gone astray, to go to his own place.
