Acts 1:22-26 [KJV]

  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.

  And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed
  Justus, and Matthias.

  And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all
  men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

  That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which
  Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

  And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he
  was numbered with the eleven apostles.
