On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): We will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. See here, [1.] What are the two great gospel ordinances-- the word, and prayer; by these two communion between God and his people is kept up and maintained; by the word he speaks to them, and by prayer they speak to him; and these have a mutual reference to each other.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

the multitude--the general body of the disciples. It is not reason--The word expresses dislike; that is, "We cannot submit." to leave the word of God--to have our time and attention withdrawn from preaching; which, it thus appears, they regarded as their primary duty. to serve tables--oversee the distribution of provisions.

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

we will give ourselves to prayer--public prayer, as along with preaching their great work.

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

We will constantly attend to prayer, and to the ministry of the word - This is doubtless the proper business of a Christian bishop: to speak to God in prayer; to men in preaching his word, as an ambassador for Christ.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
