Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

(u) From our company.

PNT:

1:21,22 Wherefore, etc. These verses set forth the necessary qualifications of an apostle. In order to be a witness, he must have (1) been a disciple of John, (2) left him in order to follow Jesus, (3) attended his ministry, and (4) seen him after his resurrection. He must be able to testify of all these as an eye witness.

WES:

1:22 To be a witness with us of his resurrection - And of the circumstances which preceded and followed it.

MHC:

1:15-26 The great thing the apostles were to attest to the world, was, Christ's resurrection; for that was the great proof of his being the Messiah, and the foundation of our hope in him. The apostles were ordained, not to wordly dignity and dominion, but to preach Christ, and the power of his resurrection. An appeal was made to God; Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, which we do not; and better than they know their own. It is fit that God should choose his own servants; and so far as he, by the disposals of his providence, or the gifts of his Spirit, shows whom he was chosen, or what he has chosen for us, we ought to fall in with his will. Let us own his hand in the determining everything which befalls us, especially in those by which any trust may be committed to us.
