Acts 1:16-17

16

17 "Brothers and sisters, in the Scriptures the Holy Spirit said through David something that must happen involving Judas. He was one of our own group and served together with us. He led those who arrested Jesus."

Acts 1:20-22

20 "In the Book of Psalms," Peter said, "this is written: 'May his place be empty; leave no one to live in it.'

21 And it is also written: 'Let another man replace him as leader.'

22 "So now a man must become a witness with us of Jesus' being raised from the dead. He must be one of the men who were part of our group during all the time the Lord Jesus was among us -- from the time John was baptizing people until the day Jesus was taken up from us to heaven."
