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,
