Acts 1:16-20

16 “Brothers, ^athe Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, ^bwho became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 For ^che was numbered among us and was allotted his share in ^dthis ministry.” 18 (Now this man ^eacquired a field with ^fthe reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong ^{▼▼Or swelling up} he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called ^hin their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms,

ⁱ“‘May his camp become desolate,
and let there be no one to dwell in it’;
and

^j“‘Let another take his office.’
