²¹ "It is necessary, therefore, that one of the anashim who accompanied us during all the time in which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua went in and went out among us,

²² "Beginning from the tevilah of teshuva of Yochanan until the day when Moshiach was taken up from us—one of these should become Eidus (Witness) with us to the Techiyas HaMoshiach."

²³ And they put forward two anashim, Yosef Bar-Sabba, also called Justus, and Mattityahu.

²⁴ And having davened, they said, "Adonoi, you have da’as of the levavot of Kol B’nei Adam. Therefore, show which of these two is your bechirah [1Sm 14:41]

²⁵ "To take the place of this avodas kodesh ministry and Shlichus from which Yehudah turned aside to go to his own place."
