Judas replacement a literal crap shoot.

Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs." Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles. Acts 1: 24-26

After urging God for help, Peter was heard saying, "OK Bartholomew, roll them bones!"

 

No guts, no glory.

(With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. Acts 1:18

Little known fact; as Judas lay prone with his guts pulsating around his dying body, a slight snicker could be heard from just behind a near tree. The source of that snicker was a man wearing a red and black sweater. It all makes sense if you bother to research the details.

Jesus reiterates why it was unnecessary for Judas to betray him.

"Am I leading a rebellion," said Jesus, "that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled." Mark 14: 48-49

We mentioned this peculiarity in commentary after this entry regarding Judas' alleged betrayal.

Shouldn't I get a reward?

Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me. Mark 14:18 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born. Mark 14:21

Judas was heard murmuring, "this is bullshit, you need me to rat you out to fulfill your destiny." (Of course, one might wonder why a FAMOUS man that cured the sick, raised the dead, chased away demons, and performed all sorts of wondrous public parlor tricks would need to be identified to the men that sought to have him killed. But let's not concern ourselves with such trivia.)

That's him! The guy on the right.
