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

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
