  • Acts 1:16-26 : 16 “Brothers, the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through David concerning Judas– who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus– 17 for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.” 18 (Now this man Judas acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed, and falling headfirst he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. 19 This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language they called that field Hakeldama, that is,“Field of Blood.”) 20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms,‘Let his house become deserted, and let there be no one to live in it,’ and‘Let another take his position of responsibility.’ 21 Thus one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time the Lord Jesus associated with us, 22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day he was taken up from us– one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.” 23 So they proposed two candidates: Joseph called Barsabbas(also called Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed,“Lord, you know the hearts of all. Show us which one of these two you have chosen 25 to assume the task of this service and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 Then they cast lots for them, and the one chosen was Matthias; so he was counted with the eleven apostles.
  • Matt 27:5 : 5 So Judas threw the silver coins into the temple and left. Then he went out and hanged himself.

    10May his children roam around begging, asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home!

    11May the creditor seize all he owns! May strangers loot his property!

    16For he never bothered to show kindness; he harassed the oppressed and needy, and killed the disheartened.

    17He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.

    18He made cursing a way of life, so curses poured into his stomach like water and seeped into his bones like oil.

    19May a curse attach itself to him, like a garment one puts on, or a belt one wears continually!

    20May the LORD repay my accusers in this way, those who say evil things about me!
