‏ 2 Corinthians 8:19

Verse 19. Chosen of the Churches to travel with us] χειροτονηθεις. Appointed by a show of hands; from χειρ the hand, and τεινω, to extend. This appointment, by the suffrage of the Churches, seems to refer more to St. Luke than any one else; unless we suppose he refers to the transaction, Ac 15:40, 41, and then it would appear that Silas is the person intended.

With this grace] Liberal contribution. See Clarke on 2Co 8:1.

Your ready mind.] Your willingness to relieve them. But, instead of υμων, your, ημων, our, is the reading of almost all the best MSS. and all the versions. This is, doubtless, the reading.
