“When the hour was come, Jesus sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said to them...” ^{Luke 22:14-15} ‘Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father had appointed to me, that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.’ ^{Lu. 22:28-30}

In biblical view the number twelve is considered as a perfect number because it is the number of the original apostles of Jesus Christ which will be sat on the 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. Therefore, over than that number is an imperfect such as thirteen. And there are also a miscellaneous saying which came from his last supper, that if there were thirteen people around the table, one of them will die. What a commandment of a man!

“And they prayed, and said, ‘You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two you have chosen, that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.’ And they gave forth their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” ^{Acts 1:24-26}

“Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem, insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, ’The field of blood.’” ^{Acts 1:16-19}

Therefore, Judas was already death which is mentioned as his own place, that's why his ministry needed to be replaced by other.

“Jesus answered them, ‘Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?’ He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon, for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.” ^{John 6:70-71}

But the 13th apostle was not exist in the Bible, because the places of the original apostles of Christ are just twelve only, and Judas' place was taken by Matthias.

“‘Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups, and many other such like things ye do.” ^{Mark 7:7-8}
