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-twenty, nominate two men to replace Judas. They
chose Joseph called Barsabas (whose surname was Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed,

That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell,

was numbered with the eleven apostles.[2]

name is variable: the Syriac version of Eusebius calls him throughout not Matthias but "Tolmai",
