Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 1:2

2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen.

That is, the day of his Ascension. This is a Translation from the former Book (his Gospel) unto this, shewing how far he had proceeded in setting down the Doctrine of our Salvation.

Which words may be referred, either to the commandments he gave, or the choice he made of the Apostles; both being by the Holy Ghost. The Apostles had their Doctrine from God, and were appointed to publish it by God. Especially to publish the Gospel to the whole World, Matth. 28.19. And to continue at Ierusalem till the coming of the Holy Ghost, Luke 24.49.
