A Divine Appointment
Acts 1:23-26
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.…


The validity of the appointment, which has been questioned, is incidentally recognised in Acts 2:14; Acts 6:2; the Twelve must have included Matthias. The appointment being directly Divine superseded the laying on of hands.
