8.     THE QUESTION WAS:

Everyone knows that Peter’s successor was the second pope (second bishop of Rome), but who became the apostle Judas Iscariot’s replacement?

 

A.   Matthias

B.   Judas, Jr.

C.   Elijah

 

 

THE ANSWER IS…. A…Matthias (Acts 1:15)

 

For the Bible says, “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: 'Let his encampment become desolate, and may no one dwell in it.' And: 'May another take his office.'

 

Therefore, it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his resurrection."

 

So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.

Then they prayed, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen

to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."

Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
