Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 1:16-17

“Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry (diakonia).” We see in these words clearly expressed Peter’s high view of Scripture. It represented ‘words which the Holy Spirit spoke’ and ‘must be fulfilled’. And it is clear that Peter had been meditating on the Scriptures and that they had... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 1:15-26

Acts 1:15-Ezekiel : . Election of a Twelfth Apostle.—“ In those days” ( cf. Mark 1:9; a vague expression) Peter comes forward as leader. 1 Corinthians 15:6 * speaks of 500 brethren at once. The first to whom the risen Lord appeared was naturally their leader; though Ac. does not mention this, Lk. does ( Luke 24:24-Nahum :). We have here the first example in Ac. of the application of OT passages to Christian things. Two passages from Ps. are applied to Judas, whose place is now to be filled.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 1:16

Men and brethren, an ordinary compellation; speaker and auditors were Hebrews of the Hebrews. This Scripture, viz. Psalms 41:9, must need, have been fulfilled; yet God’s foreknowledge and prediction excused not Judas’s sin. Which was guide to them that took Jesus; not only leading them in the way when they took our Saviour, but being director of their counsels against him. This the apostle premises to abate the offence that the horrible fall of Judas might have occasioned. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Acts 1:15-26

CRITICAL REMARKSActs 1:15. Those days lay between the Ascension and Pentecost. For disciples, μαθητῶν, the R.V. reads brethren, ἀδελφῶν, as in Matthew 25:40; Acts 9:30; Acts 11:29; 1 Corinthians 5:11. Names = persons, as in Revelation 3:4; Revelation 11:13. Unclassical. Together, ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ, has always a local signification. (See Acts 3:1; Luke 17:35.)Acts 1:16. Scripture … which the Holy Ghost spake.—A testimony to the Inspiration of the Old Testament. Compare 2 Peter 1:21. By the mouth of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Acts 1:16-17

Acts 1:16-17 The Subserviency of Crime to the Purposes of God We are so accustomed to view the traitor Judas with indignation and denounce him for his crime and treachery, that we are apt to overlook the important ends which, as overruled by God, are eventually subserved. I. As an attestation of the miracles of Christ, we think the treachery of Judas overruled for the lasting benefit of the Church. The traitor shall witness to the Master he betrayed. For had there been anything of luck or... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 1:1-26

Shall we turn to the book of Acts, chapter one, as we begin our study of the early church.Luke, the author of the book of Acts, a companion of Paul the apostle, who was author also of the Gospel According to Luke, wrote these two treatises to a friend, Theophilus. Theophilus is a Greek name. It's a name that has a beautiful meaning. The name means lover of God. There are some who believe that it was not a man at all, but that the gospel and the book of Acts were addressed to the lovers of God,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Acts 1:1-26

Acts 1:1 . The former treatise have I made of all that Jesus began to do and teach. St. Luke, a companion of St. Paul, here continues his history. It comprises a display of providence and grace in the first planting of christianity, and a striking comment on the ancient prophecies concerning the early call of the gentiles to the kingdom and fellowship of Christ. The evangelist kept a journal of all his labours and travels, which he published after the two years of Paul’s imprisonment at... read more

Acts 1:16-20Men and brethren, this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled … concerning Judas.The subserviency of crime to the purposes of GodWe know not a more remarkable expression than “The wrath of man shall praise Thee, the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.” The manner in which God overrules wickedness, and by which crime is as much an instrument in His hands as obedience, evidences our Maker’s greatness as well as His unlimited dominion. God is able to reckon with thorough... read more
