Acts 1:23

We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.

Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.

but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

Through Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for Yahweh, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh.

They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot. According to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;

All the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatever the king did pleased all the people.

Thus they were divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

They cast lots for their offices, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the student.

The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.

Also the hand of God came on Judah to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by Yahweh’s word.

Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, but the punishment of fools is their folly.

They all said to each other, “Come! Let’s cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;

The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.

They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was counted with the eleven apostles.

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea, and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch;

Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.

From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.

it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

Not only so, but he was also appointed by the assemblies to travel with us in this grace, which is served by us to the glory of the Lord himself, and to show our readiness.
