Acts 1 - Introduction - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Christ, preparing his apostles for the beholding of his ascension, gathereth them together unto the mount Olivet, commandeth them to expect in Jerusalem the sending down of the Holy Ghost, and promiseth after a few days to send it: by virtue whereof they should be witnesses unto him, even to the utmost parts of the earth. After his ascension they are warned by two angels to depart, and to set their minds upon his second coming: they accordingly return, and, giving themselves to prayer, choose Matthias apostle in the place of Judas.
