What apostle did Paul replace?
Acts 1: 26 says this: "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles." Thus quite clearly Matthias was the replacement for Judas who was already dead before Jesus as he hanged himself in despair as recorded.
Matthias who replace Judas the same as Matthew of the 12 disciple?
Yes, Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot as one of the twelve disciples. However, Matthew (also known as Levi) was a different disciple who was already among the original twelve chosen by Jesus.
What was the other name of Thaddeus the disciple?
Thaddeus is usually thought of as the other name for Saint Judas (not Judas Iscariot) the disciple. Many people do not realise that there were two Judas's among the disciples - Judas Iscariot who betryed Jesus, and Saint Judas son of James. The problems of confusion surrounding St Judas meant that he became eventually known as St Jude and often called Thaddeus instead, and became the patrion saint of Lost Causes. It was quite common in those days for people to use more than one name (Jesus/Emmanuel, Simon/Peter, Matthew/Levi, Saul/Paul etc) and so this dual nomenclature is not unusual. However,some scholars do not accept that Jude was the same person as Thaddeus, relegating Thaddeus to one of the 72 'outer' crowd as opposed to the inner group of 12 disciples. Others claim that the '12' and the '72' were approximations, and there might have been 13 or even 14 disciples to take account of different names (e.g. Matthew/Levi) and Thaddeus would have been one of the 'extras', and 70-80 others rather than the 72, but this is rather far-fetched. Jewish culture bestowed great importance on numbers (12 tribes of israel etc) and so the numbers 12 and 72 (12 times half of 12) would have been very significant. So it seems that the likelihood is that Thaddeus was the other name given for Jude.
What is the meaning of Saul's blindness?
Paul, in his own epistles, never speaks of or even hints about having been blinded at the time of his conversion. The only mention of this event is in Acts of the Apostles, which has not one but three accounts, each slightly different to the others. A well disguised theme of The Acts of the Apostles is to minimise the importance of Paul in the early Christian community, which should be considered in deciding whether to accept Paul's own account or that of Acts.The blindness of Paul made him helpless and dependent on the Christians who assisted him and then taught him the gospel. The symbolism of this is that Paul was placed in an inferior position, from which it would take several chapters before he was able to assert his influence in the early Church.
Were any of Jesus' apostles married?
Some of Jesus' apostles were believed to be married, based on historical and biblical accounts. For example, Peter is mentioned to have had a mother-in-law, indicating he was likely married. Paul also wrote about other apostles bringing their wives along on their travels.
