This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That he may take part (λαβεῖν τὸν κλῆρον)
Lit., to take the lot. But the best texts read τὸν τόπον, the place. Rev., to take the place.
By transgression fell (παρέβη)
See on trespasses, Mat 6:14. The rendering of the A. V. is explanatory. Rev., better, fell away.
His own place
Compare “the place in this ministry.” Τὸν ἴδιον, his own, is stronger than the simple possessive pronoun. It is the place which was peculiarly his, as befitting his awful sin - Gehenna.
