No.
No, Paul did not take the place of Judas as one of the original twelve apostles. Matthias was chosen by the other apostles to replace Judas, as described in Acts 1:15-26. Paul, originally known as Saul, became an apostle later through a direct encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.
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.
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.
Judas, also known as Thaddeus, is one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. In the Gospel of Matthew and Mark, he is referred to as Thaddeus, while in the Gospel of Luke and Acts, he is referred to as "Judas, the son of James."
Saul's blindness is seen as a symbol of his spiritual blindness and ignorance before his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. It represents the transformation and enlightenment he undergoes as he transitions from persecuting Christians to becoming an influential apostle.
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.
Matthias was picked by the Apostles to take the place of Judas. Not much else is said about him.
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.
Saint Peter and the other apostles prayed for guidance and cast lots to choose Judas' replacement, following the Old Testament tradition. Matthias was then chosen by lot to replace Judas as one of the Twelve Apostles.
They chose somebody to take Judas Iscariot's place amongst the 12, & they prayed non-stop, for 9 days.
there are 14 apostles mentioned in the bible. the original 12 apostles and the other 2 apostles which is mentioned in Acts 14:14 "But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting".What about the one who replaced Judas? Acts 1:23-2623 So they put up two, Joseph called Bar′sab·bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Mat·thi′as. 24 And they prayed and said: "You, O Jehovah, who know the hearts of all, designate which one of these two men you have chosen, 25 to take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas deviated to go to his own place." 26 So they cast lots over them, and the lot fell upon Mat·thi′as; and he was reckoned along with the eleven apostles.
The bishops are the apostles of today.
No Jesus did not appoint another person to take Judas place. The disciples did it.
Matthias became the apostle who was selected to replace Judas
NKJV Acts 1:23-26 23 And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen 25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." 26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Paul clearlydid not take the place of ant disciple, as he came much later in the picture.
The apostles were 12 men chosen by Jesus Christ (c. 6 b.c.-c. a.d. 30) to be his close followers. The apostles helped spread the word that they believed Jesus to be the Son of God. Matthew 10:1 explains that Jesus gave the 12 authority to drive out unclean spirits and to cure every kind of illness.In Matthew 10:2-4, the names of the 12 apostles are given as Simon Peter (who is later simply called Peter), Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot. But the lists of apostles found in Luke 6:13-16 and in Acts 1:13 differ from that found in Matthew. While both Luke and Acts cite (Simon) Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, they do not name Thaddaeus, but rather Judas the son of James. In other words, the lists agree on 11 of the 12 names.After Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ, Matthias was chosen by the apostles to take his place (this is described in Acts 1: 21-26). He was considered eligible since, like the 11 remaining apostles, he accompanied Jesus from the time of Jesus's baptism until "the day he was taken up from us."there were 12 apostles and the names were Judas Iscariot, Judas (also called Thaddaeus), Simon, James ( sone of Alphaeus), Thomas, Matthew, Nathanael, Philip, John, James ( brother of John), Andrew, Peter.
At Peter's insistence (since he was the leader of the Apostles in Christ's absence), they replaced Judas by casting lots. This is recorded in Acts 1:26 "And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles."
