The days of his ministration. — The word used for “ministration” conveys, like the ministering spirits” of Hebrews 1:14, the idea of liturgical service. The “days” were, according to the usual order of the Temple, from Sabbath to Sabbath (2 Kings 11:5).

Luke 1:23

23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
