Acts 1:17

1:17 for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.”

Acts 1:25

1:25 to assume the task of this service and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”

tn Or “and was chosen to have a share in this ministry.” The term λαγχάνω (lancanw) here and in 2 Pet 1:1 can be understood as referring to the process of divine choice and thus be translated, “was chosen to have.”

tn Grk “to take the place.”

tn Or “of this ministry.”

tn Or “the task of this service and apostleship which Judas ceased to perform.”

sn To go to his own place. This may well be a euphemism for Judas’ judged fate. He separated himself from them, and thus separated he would remain.
