F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 1:15-26

Filling a Vacant Place Acts 1:15-26 It may be that the Apostles were acting upon Christ’s directions, when they proceeded to the election of a successor to Judas. There was awe in Peter’s voice, as he describes the traitor as the guide of the arresting band, although he had been numbered with the Apostles and had obtained part in their ministry. It was as though Peter felt that it might have been himself. He and the rest had stood at the brink of the precipice over which Judas had flung... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 1:1-26

In the opening verse Luke reveals the nature of his first treatise. It had to do with "all that Jesus began to do and to teach." This is followed by the last glimpse we have of the disciples before Pentecost, together with the account of the Ascension. We then see them during the period between the Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit. It is interesting to study the list of those who are named as being gathered together with them. Their need for that Spirit for guidance is revealed in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 1:12-26

Preparation For Pentecost (1:12-26). In obedience to His command they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives where all this had happened, and entered the upper chamber where they were staying. And from this time on they spent their time in ‘the prayer’, probably mainly in the Temple with a number of other disciples (Luke 24:53), waiting patiently for what Jesus had promised. ‘The prayer’ may signify the prayer that He had taught them Luke 11:2-4, ‘May Your name be sanctified (by the... read more

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 1:18

“Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity; and falling headlong (or ‘prone’), he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.” Among the Jews, when a man had entered into a contract from which he wanted to withdraw for conscience sake, and the other party refused to accept the money back, a means was provided by which he could take whatever was involved to the Temple and officially hand it back there. By that means he was seen as exonerated from guilt for what... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 1:19

“And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood).” The result of this vivid and seemingly ominous death was that the name of the place where it happened became known to the locals as Akeldama, ‘the field of blood’. It would not take long for such a story to get around at festival time and for such a name to be given. The incident had clearly caused great horror, and as it would be seen as defiling... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 1:20

“For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no man dwell in it’, and, ‘His office (episkope) let another take’. Peter then cites two Scriptures which had especially struck him in connection with the incident, one found in Psalms 69:25 and the other in Psalms 109:8. From them he recognised the justice of what had happened to Judas, and that therefore, because of the important ministry to which he had been called, it was necessary that he be replaced.... 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

Numbered with us; being one of the twelve apostles. Had obtained, elace; not as if Judas was made an apostle by lot, as Matthias afterwards; but by the providence of God, by which every lot and casual matter is governed: and to show that the dignity did not befall him, or any of the other apostles, because of their descent, (from Aaron), or from nature, or from any desert whatsoever, but merely from God’s good will and pleasure. Part of this ministry; then the apostles office is ministerial,... read more
