Jesus did not replace Judas, as Judas died after Christ , as he committed suicide.

Answer:

The Apostles actually "cast lots" to choose who would replace Judas Iscariot, which is an "appeal to God" for Him to choose his replacement.

"...they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles." (Acts 1:23-26)

They required "twelve" apostles, because Jesus promised that they would each "sit on a throne and be a king over each of the twelve tribes of Israel." There are twelve tribes of Israel.

"...Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit in the throne of His glory, YE ALSO SHALL SIT UPON TWELVE THRONES, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." (Matt.19:28)
