יהושע Messiah Appointed Twelve Emissaries to Himself from Among His Taught Ones Before Many Witnesses
‘And having called His twelve taught ones near, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every bodily weakness. And these are the names of the twelve emissaries: first, Shim‛on, who is called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother; Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother; Philip and Bartholomi; T’oma and Mattithyahu the tax collector; Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Alphai, and Laḇai whose last name was Taddai; Shim‛on the Kena‛anite, and Yehuḏah from Qerioth, who did also deliver Him up. יהושע sent these twelve out, having commanded them, saying, “Do not go into the way of the nations, and do not enter a city of the Shomeronim, but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’ĕl. “And as you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The reign of the heavens has drawn near.’ “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. You have received without paying, give without being paid. “Do not acquire gold or silver or copper for your money -belts, or a bag for the journey, or two undergarments, or sandals, or staffs, for the worker is worthy of his food.’

‘And when they came in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: both Kĕpha and Ya‛aqoḇ and Yoḥanan and Andri, Philip and T’oma, Bartholomi and Mattithyahu, Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Alphai and Shim‛on the Zealot, and Yehuḏah the son of Ya‛aqoḇ. All these were continuing with one mind in prayer and supplication, with the women and Miryam the mother of יהושע, and with His brothers. And in those days Kĕpha, standing up in the midst of the taught ones – and there was a gathering of about a hundred and twenty – said, “Men and brothers, this Scripture had to be filled which the Set-apart Spirit spoke before by the mouth of Dawiḏ concerning Yehuḏah, who became a guide to those who seized יהושע, “because he was numbered with us and did receive his share in this service. (This one, therefore, purchased a field with the wages of unrighteousness, and falling forward, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Yerushalayim, so that in their own language that field was called, Ḥaqal Dema, that is, Field of Blood). “For it has been written in the Book of Tehillim, ‘Let his dwelling lie waste, and let no one live in it,’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’ It is therefore necessary that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Master יהושע went in and out among us,” beginning from the immersion of Yoḥanan to that day when He was taken up from us, that one of these should become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they put forward two: Yosĕph called Barsabba, who was also called Justus, and Mattithyahu. And praying they said, “You, יהוה, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two You have chosen to receive the share in this service and office of the emissary from which Yehuḏah by transgression fell, to go to his own place.” And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Mattithyahu. And he was numbered with the eleven emissaries.’

‘Do not be silent, O Elohim of my praise! For the mouth of the wrong And the mouth of the deceiver Have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a false tongue. They have surrounded me with words of hatred, And they attack me without a cause. In return for my love they accuse me, While I am in prayer. And they repay me evil for good, And hatred for my love. Appoint over him one who is wrong, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. When he is judged, let him be found wrong, And let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few, Let another take his office.’
