Acts 1:25

“That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, etc.] Of the ministry of the apostles, or of the apostolical ministration; which lay in preaching the Gospel, administering ordinances, planting churches, and working miracles; and which part, lot, or inheritance, Judas had; (see <440117> Acts 1:17).
