Commentary

Or ministry, let us wait on--"be occupied with." our ministering--The word here used imports any kind of service, from the dispensing of the word of life (Act 6:4) to the administering of the temporal affairs of the Church (Act 6:1-3). The latter seems intended here, being distinguished from "prophesying," "teaching," and "exhorting." or he that teacheth--Teachers are expressly distinguished from prophets, and put after them, as exercising a lower function (Act 13:1; Co1 12:28-29). Probably it consisted mainly in opening up the evangelical bearings of Old Testament Scripture; and it was in this department apparently that Apollos showed his power and eloquence (Act 18:24).
