Acts 14:23
And when they had ordained them elders. Observe (1) that elders were
not appointed as soon as the churches were planted; time must be taken
so as to know what men were fitted for the office; (2) that elders were
not appointed to preside over a district, but "in every church"; (3)
that there was a plurality; (4) that they were set apart with fasting,
prayer, and imposition of hands. It is not here stated who selected the
men, but from Acts 6:6 we would infer that they were chosen by the
church under the advice of the apostles.
