44:001:016 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been
fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake
before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took
Jesus.
44:001:017 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
ministry.
44:001:018 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity;
and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all
his bowels gushed out.
44:001:019 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch
as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that
is to say, The field of blood.
44:001:020 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be
desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let
another take.
44:001:021 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the
time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
44:001:022 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he
was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness
with us of his resurrection.
44:001:023 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
44:001:024 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the
hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
44:001:025 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from
which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own
place.
44:001:026 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon
Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
44:002:001 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
with one accord in one place.
44:002:002 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting.
44:002:003 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
and it sat upon each of them.
44:002:004 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
44:002:005 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of
every nation under heaven.
44:002:006 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak
in his own language.
44:002:007 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
44:002:008 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were
born?
44:002:009 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in
Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and
Asia,
