Correct Answer: B) Judas Iscariot

Explanation

The statement His office let another take refers to someone in the Bible who was replaced by another person. The question is asking us to identify who this person is from the options given. Option A is Ananias, Option B is Judas Iscariot (which is the correct answer), Option C is Barnabas, and Option D is John Mark.

Judas Iscariot was one of Jesus' twelve disciples. He was responsible for betraying Jesus to the religious authorities, leading to Jesus' crucifixion. After Judas' betrayal, he took his own life, and his position among the twelve disciples was left vacant. This is the vacancy referred to in the statement His office let another take.

To fill the vacancy left by Judas, the remaining eleven disciples chose a new disciple named Matthias. This event is recorded in the book of Acts in the New Testament.

In summary, the statement His office let another take refers to the replacement of Judas Iscariot with Matthias as one of Jesus' twelve disciples. The correct answer to this question is Option B: Judas Iscariot.
