Commentary on Acts 14:23
Paul and Barnabas's 'ordaining of elders in every church' established local leadership before departing. The combination of prayer and fasting with this appointment shows the serious spiritual nature of leadership selection. The phrase 'commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed' indicates both the leaders' and churches' ultimate dependence on Christ rather than apostolic presence.
