MATTHIAS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 899 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MATTHIAS , the
disciple
  elected by the primitive
Christian
  community to fill the
place
  in the Twelve vacated by Judas Iscariot (Acts i. 21-26). Nothing further is recorded of him in the New Testament.
Eusebius
  (Hist. Eccl., I. xii.) says he was, like his competitor, Barsabas Justus, one of the seventy, and the Syriac version of
Eusebius
  calls him throughout not Matthias but Tolmai, i.e. Bartholomew, without confusing him with the Bartholomew who was originally one of the Twelve, and is often identified with the
Nathanael
  mentioned in the Fourth Gospel (Expository Times, ix. 566). Clement of
Alexandria
  says some identified him with Zacchaeus, the Clementine Recognitions identify him with Barnabas, Hilgenfeld thinks he is the same as
Nathanael
 .
Various worksa Gospel, Traditions and Apocryphal Wordswere ascribed to him; and there is also extant The Acts of Andrew and Matthias, which places his activity in " the city of the cannibals " in Ethiopia. Clement of
Alexandria
  quotes two sayings from the Traditions: (I) Wonder at the things before you (suggesting, like Plato, that wonder is the first step to new knowledge) ; (2) If an elect man's
neighbour
  sin, the elect man has sinned.
