St. Matthias
The Greek Matthias (or, in some manuscripts, Maththias), is
a name derived from Mattathias, Heb. Mattithiah, signifying
"gift of Yahweh." Matthias was one of the seventy disciples of Jesus,
and had been with Him from His baptism by John to the Ascension (Acts i, 21,
22). It is related (Acts, i, 15-26) that in the days following the Ascension,
Peter proposed to the assembled brethren, who numbered one hundred and twenty,
that they choose one to fill the place of the traitor Judas in the Apostolate.
Two disciples, Joseph, called Barsabas, and Matthias were selected, and lots
were drawn, with the result in favour of Matthias, who thus became associated
with the eleven Apostles. Zeller has declared this narrative unhistoric, on the
plea that the Apostles were in Galilee after the death of Jesus. As a matter of
fact they did return to Galilee, but the Acts of the Apostles clearly state that
about the feast of Pentecost they went back to Jerusalem. -- above
