this.

That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

and shared in this ministry.
Judas participated in the ministry of Jesus, which included preaching, healing, and performing miracles. This involvement emphasizes the gravity of his betrayal, as he was not an outsider but an integral part of Jesus' mission. The term "ministry" here refers to the service and work of spreading the Gospel, a task entrusted to the apostles. Judas's participation in this ministry serves as a warning about the dangers of hypocrisy and the importance of genuine faith. His actions ultimately fulfilled the Scriptures, as seen inZechariah 11:12-13, which prophesies the betrayal for thirty pieces of silver. Judas's story is a sobering reminder of the need for vigilance and integrity in one's spiritual walk.

Peter speaks plainly about Judas Iscariot: “For he was counted among us…” (Acts 1:17).

• This reminds us that Judas was a real, historical person, not a symbol or myth (Acts 1:16).

• Jesus Himself chose Judas after a night of prayer (Luke 6:12-16).

• The Lord even sent him out with power to heal and cast out demons (Mark 6:7-13).

God’s Word is underscoring that betrayal came from someone who truly walked with Christ, fulfilling Jesus’ earlier warning: “Did I not choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil” (John 6:70-71).

“…one of our number…” (Acts 1:17) stresses belonging.

• Judas shared meals, miracles, conversations, and intimate fellowship with the other apostles (John 13:18;Matthew 10:1-4).

• His place among them fulfillsPsalm 41:9—“Even my close friend…has lifted up his heel against me.”

• The phrase shows the early church’s honesty; they did not hide the shame of betrayal but testified to Scripture’s reliability.

“…and shared in this ministry” (Acts 1:17).

• Judas handled money for the group (John 12:6) and preached the kingdom (Luke 9:1-2).

• Service did not guarantee salvation; Jesus later prayed, “None has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled” (John 17:12).

• God turned even Judas’s treachery into a stage for redemption (Acts 1:20;Romans 8:28).

• The apostles will soon seek Matthias “to take over this apostolic ministry” Judas abandoned (Acts 1:25), showing that God’s work continues despite human failure.

Acts 1:17 reminds us that Judas was genuinely chosen, fully included, and actively serving—yet his heart remained unchanged. Scripture’s candor warns believers to guard their own hearts while assuring us that God’s sovereign plan never falters.

Had obtained part of this ministry.--Better,the portion,orinheritance. The Greek has the article, and the noun (cleros) is one which afterwards acquired a special half-technical sense in the words,clerus, clericus, "clerk," "clergy." In1Peter 5:3, as being "lords over the heritage," we find it in a transition sense. (See Note onActs 1:25.)
