Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Theophilus is put in mind, and we in him, of St. Luke's gospel, which it will be of use for us to cast an eye upon before we enter upon the study of this book, that we may not only see how this begins where that breaks off, but that, as in water face answers to face, so do the acts of the apostles to the acts of their Master, the acts of his grace.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

they appointed--"put up" in nomination; meaning not the Eleven but the whole company, of whom Peter was the spokesman. two--The choice would lie between a very few.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

And they appointed two - So far the faithful could go by consulting together, but no further. Therefore here commenced the proper use of the lot, whereby a matter of importance, which cannot be determined by any ordinary method, is committed to the Divine decision.
