Acts 1:16 Men and
brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost
by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them
that took Jesus. 17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
ministry. 18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and
falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field
is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and
let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. 21 Wherefore of
these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in
and out among us, 22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day
that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of
his resurrection.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who
was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord,
which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast
chosen, 25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which
Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. 26 And they
gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with
the eleven apostles. KJV

is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
