Preview:
It is believed by some Bible scholars that the election to choose a successor for Judas Iscariot was conducted by Peter without the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit, since the Holy Spirit had not yet been given. Matthias (see Acts 1.26) was evidently a good man. He met the requirements of an apostle, which meant he must have been with the Lord from His baptism by John until His ascension; and, more importantly, he must have been a witness of the resurrection, as the others were.
