Acts 1:15-22 Judas was one of us, chosen to be an apostle just as we were. ¹⁸ He bought a field with the money he received for his treachery and falling headlong there, he burst open, spilling out his bowels. ¹⁹ The news of his death spread rapidly among all the people of Jerusalem, and they named the place “The Field of Blood”.
²⁰ King David’s prediction of this appears in the Book of Psalms, where he says, Let his home become desolate with no one living in it. And again, ‘Let his work be given to someone else to do.’ ²¹’²² “So now we must choose someone else to take Judas’ place and to join us as witnesses of Jesus resurrection. Let us select someone who has been with us constantly from our first association with the Lord-from the time He was baptized by John until the day He was taken from us into heaven.” Amen TLBV
