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

Well done

1. Peter had the authority to choose another apostle
2. Matthias was an apostle

Peter chose Matthias but Jesus chose Paul.

Who had authority?

>>Peter had the authority to choose another apostle<<

Peter chose???

Acts 1:26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

>>Matthias was an apostle<<

You don't say.

Oh>

Then why did...

... they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
