Matthias (/ m ə ˈ θ aɪ ə s /; Koine Greek: Ματθίας, Matthías [maθˈθi.as], from Hebrew מַתִּתְיָהוּ Mattiṯyāhū; Coptic: ⲙⲁⲑⲓⲁⲥ; died c. AD 80) was, according to the Acts of the Apostles, chosen by God through the apostles to replace Judas Iscariot following the latter's betrayal of Jesus and his subsequent death. [1]
In the Acts of the Apostles, Joseph Barsabbas (also known as Justus of Eleutheropolis) was one of two candidates qualified to be chosen for the office of apostle after Judas Iscariot lost his apostleship when he betrayed Jesus and committed suicide. After the casting of lots he was not chosen, the lot instead favoring St. Matthias to be ...
Matthias, who would later replace Judas Iscariot as one of the twelve apostles, is also often numbered among the seventy. [11] Some accounts of the legendary Saint Mantius of Évora regard him as one of the disciples, having witnessed the Last Supper and Pentecost. [12]
Matthew 27:6 is the sixth verse of the twenty-seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.This verse continues the final story of Judas Iscariot.In the previous verse Judas had cast into the temple the thirty pieces of silver he'd been paid for betraying Jesus.
It is thus possible that Judas' reversal is some time after the initial trial. By Matthew 27:8, the end of this Judas narrative, it is clear that the time being discussed is after the crucifixion. [6] From the words "when he saw that he was condemned", it has been suggested that Judas had not expected this to be the result of his actions. [7]
Like the other verses in this section of Matthew, there is no parallel in the other gospels. This is the only time the term innocent blood occurs in the New Testament, but the Septuagint has many occurrences of it in the Hebrew Bible, to which the author of Matthew may have been referring: Deuteronomy 27:25 curses anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.
The Kiss of Judas by Giotto di Bondone (between 1304 and 1306) depicts Judas's identifying kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane. Judas Iscariot (/ ˈ dʒ uː d ə s ɪ ˈ s k æ r i ə t /; Biblical Greek: Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης, romanized: Ioúdas Iskariṓtēs; died c. 30 – c. 33 AD) was, according to Christianity's four canonical gospels, one of the original Twelve Apostles of ...
Judas was both a disciple of Jesus and one of the original twelve Apostles. Most Apostles originated from Galilee but Judas came from Judea. [5] The gospels of Matthew (26:47–50) and Mark (14:43–45) both use the Greek verb καταφιλέω, kataphiléō, which means to "kiss, caress; distinct from φιλεῖν, philein; especially of an amorous kiss."
