  1. Matthias is chosen

    Peter told about 120 disciples that one of the men who had accompanied them from John’s baptism until Jesus was taken up must replace Judas as a witness of the resurrection. They put forward Joseph called Barsabbas and Matthias, prayed and drew lots; the lot fell on Matthias, who was counted with the eleven apostles.
