Acts 1:26 - Additional Comments

God sometimes uses the lot to show His decisions - Prov 16:33.
Later Paul also became an apostle (1 Cor 15:9, 2 Cor 11:5, 12:11), after James was martyred (Acts 12:1-2), for Saul was his name until Acts 13:9. Also, it appears James, Jesus' brother, became an apostle (Gal 1:19) - note James is also listed with the apostles in 1 Cor 15:7.
