prénoms celtiques et bretons d'Albert Deshayes :
Mazheas
Forme courte du grec Mattathias, au sens de "don de Dieu".
Choisi par les fidèles comme successeur de Judas Iscariote, l'apôtre Matthias aurait évangélisé la Judée avant de passer en Macédoine. Revenu près de Jérusalem, il est mis à mort par les juifs vers 61 ou 64
Catholiques en France :
Saint Matthias
Apôtre (1er s.)
Judas vient de se pendre. Il lui faut un successeur pour compléter le chiffre de 12 apôtres choisis par le Maître pour marquer les 12 tribus d'Israël. Parmi les témoins de la vie, de la mort et de la résurrection de Jésus, le conseil présente deux candicats possibles. Saint Matthias est choisi par Dieu lui-même, le maître du sort et de l'existence. Il suivait Jésus depuis le baptême du Jourdain. On en fait l'évangélisateur de l'Ethiopie, d'autres le font mourir martyr en Judée.

Biography
There is no mention of a Matthias among the lists of disciples in the three synoptic gospels. According to Acts 1, in the days following the Ascension of Jesus, Peter proposed to the assembled disciples, who numbered about one hundred and twenty, that they choose one to fill the place of the traitor Judas in the apostolate:
23.So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24.Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen 25.to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs." 26.Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
Eduard Zeller declared this narrative is inconsistent with the history of the Apostles' movements, in that the Apostles were in Galilee after the Crucifixion. However, the Acts of the Apostles clearly states (i.12) that they returned to Jerusalem.
No further information about Matthias is to be found in the canonical New Testament. Even his name is variable: the Syriac version of Eusebius calls him throughout not Matthias but "Tolmai", i.e. Bartholomew, without confusing him with the Bartholomew who was originally one of the twelve Apostles; Clement of Alexandria says some identified him with Zacchaeus; the Clementine Recognitions identify him with Barnabas; Hilgenfeld thinks he is the same as Nathanael in the Gospel of John.
