Let's see who the twelve apostles were scripturally. The term is principally applied, however, to those disciples whom Jesus personally selected as a body of 12 appointed representatives. Names of the original 12 that is.
Matthew 10:2: "The names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, the one called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the [son] of Zeb′e·dee and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bar·thol′o·mew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the [son] of Al·phae′us, and Thad·dae′us; 4 Simon the Ca·na·nae′an, and Judas Is·car′i·ot, who later betrayed him."
One of the original 12, Judas Iscariot, proved to be a traitor, thereby fulfilling earlier prophecies, which can be read in Psalm 41:9 and 109:8. So, the remaining 11 apostles are as follows: "So, when they had entered, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were staying, Peter as well as John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bar·thol′o·mew and Matthew, James [the son] of Al·phae′us and Simon the zealous one, and Judas [the son] of James." (Acts 1:13)
Who replaced Judas Iscariot as a twelfth apostle?
Because of the defection of Judas Iscariot, who died unfaithful, there were only 11 apostles remaining, and during the 40 days from Jesus’ resurrection until his ascension to heaven he made no appointment of a replacement. Sometime during the ten days between Jesus’ ascension and the day of Pentecost it was viewed as necessary that another be selected to fill the vacancy left by Judas, not simply on the basis of his death but, rather, on the basis of his wicked defection, as the Scriptures quoted by Peter indicate. (Read Acts 1:15-22; Psalm 69:25; 109:8; compare Revelation 3:11.) Thus, by contrast, when the faithful apostle James was put to death, there is no record of any concern to appoint anyone to succeed him in his position of apostle. (Acts 12:2)
Therefore, that painting should not have the 12 apostles chosen by Jesus because Judas was dimissed because of his act of betrayal. 11 apostles should only be in that famous painting plus Jesus of course.
