People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 6:3
Look ye out. Be it noted that the church was called upon to choose
these men. The apostles did not assume the right. There is no warrant
here for pope or bishops assuming the right.
Seven men. Why seven is only a matter of conjecture.
Of honest report. Men whose reputation was a guarantee that they
would handle the trust faithfully.
Full of the Holy Ghost. Whose lives indicated the fruit of the
Spirit (see Galatians 5:22 Eph 5:9).
And wisdom. Prudence and judgment would be essential.
Whom we may appoint. Ordain. The people selected under apostolic
direction; the apostle inaugurated into office.
