20“For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms: “ ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ Psalm 69:25 and, “ ‘May another take his place of leadership.’ Psalm 109:821Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus was living among us,
22beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
