Um that didn't do it. There were 12 apostles as there are 12 tribes in Israel. The replacement for Judas was prophesied.

Acts 1:20 for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take.

Nothing in the passage you posted shows succession beyond those twelve.

There’s nothing ANYWHERE in Scripture that provides for apostolic succession.

Which also debunks the current New Apostolic Reformation that is popular today.

Well done

I thought you might be among the Protesters who deny
1. Peter had the authority to choose another apostle
2. Matthias was an apostle
