Following Peter’s recommendation that a replacement for Judas be made, he proposed that the person must have been an eyewitness to all of the events of Jesus’ ministry, including His death and resurrection. Two names were nominated. The group prayed for God’s direction and by a process of Purim (casting of lots) God was asked to select the replacement. Matthias was the person that was identified.
