People's Commentary (NT)
1 Timothy 4:14
Neglect not the gift that is in thee. The allusion is to special
spiritual gifts given to him to fit him for the duties of an
evangelist. These were given, and were essential, in that first age.
Which was given thee by prophecy. As the Spirit at Antioch said to
the prophets, "Separate for me Paul and Barnabas" (Acts 13:2), I
suppose a revelation was given that Timothy was to be set apart, and
that he would be spiritually endowed for his work.
With the laying on of the hands by the presbytery. He was ordained
in the usual way, and at the ordination the Spirit conferred upon him
new gifts. It must be borne in mind that the ancient evangelists had no
New Testament to guide them, and hence needed special qualifications.
