Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 1:15-26.


Acts 1:20

_ _ his bishopric — or “charge.” The words are a combination of Psalms 69:25 and Psalms 109:8; in which the apostle discerns a greater than David, and a worse than Ahithophel and his fellow conspirators against David.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 1:15-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 1:20

His bishopric — That is, his apostleship. Psalms 69:25.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 1:20

For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his (s) bishoprick let another take.

(s) His office and ministry: David wrote these words against Doeg the King's herdsman: and these words "shepherd", "sheep", and "flock" are used with reference to the Church office and ministry, so that the Church and the offices are called by these names.
