Acts 1:22 - Additional Comments

Those chosen were probably part of the seventy that Jesus sent out in His name (Luke 10:1, 17). And, they were probably with those in the upper room when Jesus revealed Himself after the resurrection (Luke 24:33). They at least were part of the 500 who saw Him resurrected (1 Cor 15:6), and part of the 120 that remained (vs 15).
Wow. These people had followed Jesus all 3 years of His ministry, along with the apostles.
Note the apostles were not so arrogant about their high positions that they wanted to keep it just to themselves. This seems a change of pace from when they were arguing over who was the greatest (Luke 9:46).
