Acts 1:26 And they drew lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.

Was Matthias denied the privileges possessed by the other apostles?

Honestly, I don't know. I've never seen anything that says one way or another. Never really looked into it. Do you know of anything that talks about what happened to him?

Interestingly, I had in my head a notion that Paul was the apostle chosen by Jesus to be the 12th - he was certainly called an apostle, and seemed to have apostolic priveleges. Or, I guess there could have been 13 apostles for a while...
