Actes 1:17 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 1:17

For he was numbered with us
He was chosen an apostle with: the rest, and was ordained into that office when they were, and was always reckoned one of the twelve, and stands in the catalogue when they are mentioned:

and had obtained part of this ministry;
by lot, as the word signifies; the providence of God so ordering it, according to his eternal purpose and decree, that he was not only called an apostle, and enrolled among them, but he really had a part in that ministry; he preached, and baptized, and wrought miracles; and besides all this, carried the bag, was the treasurer, and a sort of a steward in Christ's family, and provided for it.

Actes 1:17 In-Context

15 En ces jours-là, Pierre se levant au milieu des disciples, assemblés au nombre d'environ cent vingt personnes, leur dit:
16 Hommes frères, il fallait que la prophétie que le Saint-Esprit a prononcée par la bouche de David, touchant Judas, qui a été le conducteur de ceux qui ont pris Jésus, fût accomplie.
17 Car il était de notre nombre, et il a eu sa part de ce ministère.
18 Mais il a acquis un champ avec le salaire du crime, et s'étant précipité, il a crevé par le milieu, et toutes ses entrailles se sont répandues,
19 Ce qui a été connu de tous les habitants de Jérusalem, de sorte que ce champ a été appelé, dans leur propre langue, Akeldama, c'est-à-dire le Champ du sang.
