OLBGrk;
Ministry and apostleship, klhron, or every one's station in the world, is ordered by the providence of God, and their part or portion is assigned to them; and so the apostleship was unto the apostles. His own place; hell, or destruction, not intended by Judas, but righteously by God appointed for him: whilst he was in the world (especially after his betraying of our Saviour) he was a usurper in it; and as bad as the world was, it was too good for him. That these words should be understood of Matthias's succeeding to the apostleship of Judas as into his own place, is the less probable, because as yet he was not chosen into it.
