After [[the Ascension]] of [[Jesus]] into [[heaven]], the Disciples and the family of Judas went up to Jerusalem where they prepared to pick a new disciple to take the place once held by Judas. Matthias was not an original Apostle, but was had been with [[Jesus]] from his baptism by [[John the Baptist]] to his ascension and one of the seventy disciples who had been sent out during Jesus' ministry. Matthias and Barsabas ''(St. Joseph of Barsabas)'' were both worthy of the honor as men who had been with Jesus from the start. Through praying together to God and asking Him to guide the process, the Disciples cast lots and the lot fell to Matthias to become the 12th Apostle. (Acts 1:21-26)
Matthias is not mentioned again in the [[New Testament]]. One tradition has him preaching in Ethiopia and there being [[martyr|martyred]].
