Old Testament

Acts 1:15-22
15In those days, when the group there numbered about 120 people, Peter stood up among the brothers[] and said, 16“Gentlemen,[] brothers, the Scripture[] had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke long ago through the mouth of David about Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus. 17Judas was counted as one of us and was given a share in this ministry.
18“Now this man acquired a field with what he was paid for his wicked act. When he fell headfirst, his middle burst open, and all his intestines spilled out.” 19(This became known to all the residents of Jerusalem, and so in their own language that field was called Akeldema, which means Field of Blood.) 20“Indeed, it is written in the book of Psalms:
May his residence be deserted.
Let there be no one dwelling in it.[]
And, let someone else take his position.[]
21“Therefore it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us during the entire time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22beginning from his baptism by John until the day Jesus was taken up from us, become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
