This election was held at Jerusalem, and the meeting was presided over by Peter. The conditions demanded of the candidates were that they should "have companied with us all the time that the Lord [[Jesus]] went in and went out among us, beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us," and that the one chosen should "become a witness with us of his resurrection" ( Acts 1:21 , Acts 1:22 ).

No trace of it is left. The Gnostic [[Basilides]] (circa 133 AD) and his son Isidor claimed to ground their doctrine in the "Gospel of Basilides" on the teaching Matthias received directly from the [[Saviour]] (Hippol., vii. 20) (compare Hennecke, <i> Neutestamentliche Apokryphen </i> , 167). Various parts of the apocryphal "Contendings of the Apostles" deal with the imprisonment and blinding of Matthias by the [[Ethiopian]] cannibals, and his rescue by [[Andrew]] (compare Budge, <i> Contendings of the [[Apostles]] </i> , II, 163,164, 267-88; see also [[Andrew]] ). According to the <i> [[Martyrdom]] of Matthias </i> (Budge, II, 289-94) he was sent to Damascus, and died at Phalaeon, a city of [[Judea.]] Other sources mention [[Jerusalem]] as the place of Matthias' ministry and burial. </p>

Matthias [1]

is likewise the name of one person mentioned in the Apocrypha ( Ματταθίας ) and of several in Josephus ( Ματθιας ), especially as Jewish highpriests.

1. Given ( 1 Esdras 9:33) in place of the Heb. MATTATHIAH ( Ezra 10:33).

2. A son of Ananus, made high-priest by Agrippa (soon after the appointment of Petronius as president of Syria), in place of Simon Cantheras, after that honor had been declined by Jonathan as a second term (Josephus, Ant. 1 9:6, 4).

3. Son of Theophilus of Jerusalem, made high-priest by Herod in place of Simon, son of Boethius ( Ant. 17:4, 2); removed again by Herod to make room for Joaza (Ib. 6, 4, where Josephus relates his temporary disqualification on the day of annual atonement), and again reinstated by Agrippa in place of Jesus, son of Gamaliel (Ib. 20:9, 7).

Josephus likewise mentions Matthias, son of Boethius, as "one of the high- priests" betrayed by Simon during the last siege of Jerusalem (War, v. 3, 1), but it does not appear whether he was one of the above. (See High- Priest).
