Acts 1:24

1:24 Then they prayed, ¹  “Lord, you know the hearts of all. Show us which one of these two you have chosen

Acts 1:26

1:26 Then ²  they cast lots for them, and the one chosen was Matthias; ³  so he was counted with the eleven apostles. ⁴

¹ tn Grk “And praying, they said.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the continuity with the preceding verse. Greek style often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” but English style does not.

³ tn Grk “and the lot fell on Matthias.”

⁴ tn Or “he was counted as one of the apostles along with the eleven.”
