Bible Verses About Peter: His statement before the disciples concerning the death of Judas, and his recommendation that the vacancy in the apostleship be filled

During this period, when the group of believers numbered about 120, Kefa stood up and addressed his fellow-believers:

“Brothers, the Ruach HaKodesh spoke in advance through David about Y’hudah, and these words of the Tanakh had to be fulfilled. He was guide for those who arrested Yeshua —

he was one of us and had been assigned a part in our work.”

(With the money Y’hudah received for his evil deed, he bought a field; and there he fell to his death. His body swelled up and burst open, and all his insides spilled out.

This became known to everyone in Yerushalayim, so they called that field Hakal-D’ma — which in their language means “Field of Blood”).

“Now,” said Kefa, “it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his estate become desolate, let there be no one to live in it’; and ‘Let someone else take his place as a supervisor.’

Therefore, one of the men who have been with us continuously throughout the time the Lord Yeshua traveled around among us,

from the time Yochanan was immersing people until the day Yeshua was taken up from us — one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection.”
