Saint Matthias
Matthias (Hebrew transliteration: ''Mattityahu ''; died c. 80 A.D.) was, according to the Acts of the Apostles, the apostle chosen by the believers to replace Judas Iscariot following Judas' betrayal of Jesus and his subsequent suicide. His calling as an apostle is unique, in that his appointment was not made personally by Jesus, who had already ascended into heaven, and it was also made before the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the early Church.
==Biography==
There is no mention of a Matthias among the lists of disciples or followers of Jesus in the three synoptic gospels, but according to ''Acts'', he had been with Jesus from his baptism by John until his Ascension. In the days following, Peter proposed that the assembled disciples, who numbered about one hundred and twenty, nominate two men to replace Judas. They chose Joseph called Barsabas (whose surname was Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all ''()'', shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was numbered with the eleven apostles.〔Jacque Eugène. (Jacquier, "St. Matthias." ) The Catholic Encyclopedia. Vol. 10. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1911. 10 Aug. 2014〕 Matthias was present with the other apostles at Pentecost.〔Butler, Alban. ("Saint Matthias, Apostle" ), ''The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principal Saints'', D. & J. Sadlier, & Company, 1864〕
No further information about Matthias is to be found in the canonical New Testament. Even his name is variable: the Syriac version of Eusebius calls him throughout not Matthias but "Tolmai", not to be confused with Bartholomew (which means Son of Tolmai), who was one of the twelve original Apostles; Clement of Alexandria says some identified him with Zacchaeus; the ''Clementine Recognitions'' identify him with Barnabas; Hilgenfeld thinks he is the same as Nathanael in the Gospel of John.
