Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Lot (klhrov). Same idea as "part" (meriv), only as a figure.
Matter (logoi). Literally, word or subject (as in Luke 1:4; Acts 15:6), the power of communicating the Holy Spirit. This use of logov is in the ancient Greek.
Straight (euqeia). Quotation from Psalms 78:37. Originally a mathematically straight line as in Acts 9:11, then moral rectitude as here.
Other Robertson's Word Pictures (NT) entries containing Acts 8:21:
Acts 1:17
Acts 15:6
Colossians 1:12
