Acts 1:12-17, 21-26 (NRSV)
Beginnings of the apostolic ministry
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day's journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.
In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said, "Friends, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus - for he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry." ...
So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us - one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection." So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. Then they prayed and said, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.

I've been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all website owners and bloggers
made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Feel free to surf to my web site ... Wrinkle Cream
I seldom leave a response, however i did some searching and wound up here "December 6, 2007".
And I do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do not mind.
Is it simply me or does it look like a few of these comments appear like coming from brain dead individuals?
:-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I would like to keep up with everything
fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of all of all your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
