These passages tell of the Apostles replacing the position of Judas. In verse 25 "that he might go to his own place" has generated various interpretations. The "he" is usually interpreted to be speaking of Judas. I think it may well be that the "he" might be referring to the apostle under consideration to replace Judas. That the newly chosen apostle, Matthias, might go to his own place in the ministry, replacing Judas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Teditis Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I don't see that in reading those verses... it was clearly talking about Judas Iscariot, in context... not Matthias. What happened to Judas is not clear, but from other Scriptures, it was not a good end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This being an impossibility for those that are in Christ Jesus is the best indication we have of Judas's final estate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
