20 And in the book of Psalms it is written, Let his court be desolate, and let there be no one who dwells in it. and let another take his dignity.

21 Therefore it is necessary that one of those who were with us all the time that the Lord Jesus dwelt and dealt with us,

22 From the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, he was with us a witness of his resurrection.

23 And they appointed two: Joseph, who was called Barsabbas, who was called Justus, and Matthias;

11 Cretans and Arabians, do we hear them speaking with our tongues of the great works of God?

12 And they were all amazed, and being perplexed, they said to one another, 'What is the meaning of this?'

13 And others, mocking, said, 'They are drunk with sweet wine.'
