Two men, Barsabbas and Matthias, were proposed, but only one was selected. A companion of Christ during his publicf ministry, Matthias was among the seventy-two disciples whom Jesus sent our to preach. He was also a witness to Christ's Resurrection. Tradition says that he preached the Gospel in Judea, Cappadocia, and near the the Caspian Sea. He suffered martyrdom by crucifixion at Colchis. Lord God, make us disciples of your Son, hearers and doers of his word, witnesses for him in this world.
