Matthias was the Apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas. Matthias was not an original Apostle, but was one of seventy disciples who had been with Jesus from his baptism to the Ascension (Acts 1: 21-22). Matthias was then selected by chance over another disciple named Barsabas (St. Joseph of Barsabas) to become the 12th Apostle.
