What About Matthias? (4 of 41)
Series: Acts
Richard Bradley
Acts 1:15-26
What about Matthias? Well, what about him? After the ascension of Christ he became one of the 12 - taking the place of Judas who betrayed Jesus and hanged himself.

19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 ''For it is written in the Book of Psalms:
'Let his dwelling place be desolate, And let no one live in it'; and, 'Let another take his office.'
