These paragraphs were removed from the main article as they were not in the correct form for an he would become worthy. Jesus chooses all of us in the same way. What does Jesus want you to become?
- In His Footsteps:----
I found the original quote from Clement at www.ccel.org/fathers2/, and am going to put that text back in without commentary, and with the citation. Hope that's sufficiently NPOV. (And no, I didn't insert the original text quoted above, and fully agree with its removal.) Wesley
In my tweaks and tightening, substituting another quote for paraphrase, etc, I've removed the following, which is factually incorrect:
- According to Acts i:21 - 22), Matthias was one of the seventy disciples of Jesus, and had been with him from his baptism by John to the Ascension The author does subtly imply that the 120 gathered about had been with Jesus since his baptism in the River Jordan, which is stretching a point. Matthias is not individually singled out. Does this point, made to strengthen the authenticity of the newly-chosen apostle, need to be discussed in the article? --Wetman 20:11, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Restoring/removing interwiki
Of the Interwiki links made by a bot a few days ago, all that were in languages which I could make any sence out of (sv:, pl:, it:, fr:, nl:) pointed at S:t Matthew. I changed sv: and removed the rest (don't speak those languages). I also removed zh:, ko:, and ru:, assuming that they too, added by the same bot at the same time, were likely to be false. /Dcastor 02:16, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Codex Barroccianus
I can find no information about this whatsoever. Can anyone elaborate on attribution? User:michaelkvance
matthias is an apostle and we didnt even know it!§
[edit] Colchis
Going along with the tradition that Matthias died in Colchis, I recently witnessed a grave marker for him placed in the Roman ruin at Gonio in Georgia (unfortunately the marker gave little information about the source(s) of this tradition). I added this information to the article. --68.162.157.62 17:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)JDWS
[edit] Image
Are you sure that this image represents Saint Matthias? The Greek caption says Ο Αγιος Ματθαίος -> Saint Mattheos = Matthew and not Matthias (Saint Matthias would be: Ο Αγιος Ματθίας). Slovene User:Marino —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.212.1.189 (talk) 10:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
You are right, the picture depicts Saint Matthew and not Saint Matthias--K kokkinos (talk) 07:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Anglican Commemoration date
This years Anglican Common Worship lectionary (ISBN 0-7151-2110-3) describes the commemoration of St Matthias on May 14th, not February 24th. I don't know enough to suggest when this changed or whether either date is 'traditional' Gw russell 20:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
