15 [a]And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said (now the number of [b]names that were in one place were about an hundred and twenty.)
16 [c]Ye men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, Which the (A)holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before of Judas, which was (B)guide to them that took Jesus.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained fellowship in this ministration.
