Acts 1:24 - Adam Clarke

Acts 1:24

22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when ^aHe was taken up from us, one of these must ^bbecome a witness with us of His resurrection.”

23 And they proposed two: Joseph called ^aBarsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

24 And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, ^awho know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen

25 ^ato take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.”

26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Acts 1:24

Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts - , , . The word , the searcher of hearts, seems to be used here as an attribute of God; he knows the hearts, the most secret purposes, intentions, and dispositions of all men; and because he is the knower of hearts, he knew which of these men he had qualified the best, by natural and gracious dispositions and powers, for the important work to which one of them was now to be appointed.
