Book of Acts

Acts 1:15-26
—Verse by verse

This page is a study of Acts 1:15-26. These verses tell of how Judas the betrayer, who had committed suicide, was replaced by Matthias as the 12th apostle.

Matthias Replaces Judas as One of the Twelve.

Acts1:15-26

¶“15And in those days Peter stood among the disciples, around 120 names altogether, and said, 16'Men, my brothers! This scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit predicted by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who turned guide to those who captured Jesus. 17For he was numbered among us and was allotted this ministry. 18This man then in fact got a field with the wages of injustice, and he had swollen up, split in the midst, and everything poured out of his bowels. 19And everyone living in Jerusalem came to know of this, so in their own language the field was called Hakeldama, [the Field of Blood]' ” (Acts 1:15-19).

¶“20Peter then said, 'It is written in the book of Psalms, Let his house be desolate, and let no one dwell there, and let another take the oversight he had. 21So one of these men who were our companions all the time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22beginning from his immersion by John until the day that he was taken up from us, one of these should join us as a witness of his resurrection.' ” (Acts 1:20-22).

¶“23And they put forward two: Joseph (who was called Barsabas surnamed Justus) and Matthias. 24And they said in prayer, 'You, Lord, the Knower of hearts of all men, show which of these two you have chosen. 25May he take as his lot this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas walked away to go where he belongs.' 25So they cast their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was accordingly counted among the apostles with the eleven.” (Acts 1:23-26).
