And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.When they had ordained them presbyters in every Church — Out of those who were themselves but newly converted. So soon can God enable even a babe in Christ to build up others in the common faith: they commended them to the Lord - An expression implying faith in Christ, as well as love to the brethren. read more
PART THIRD. CHRISTIANITY AMONG THE GENTILES. From Chapter Acts 13:1, to End of Acts. Through the remainder of his work Luke’s subject is the evangelization of the Gentiles, and his hero is Paul. His field is western Asia and Europe; his terminal point is Rome, and the work is the laying the foundation of modern Christendom. At every point, even at Rome, Luke is careful to note the Gospel offer to the Jews, and how the main share reject, and a remnant only is saved. And thus it appears that... read more
21. Taught many At Derbe, as at neither of the last three places, Paul seems to encounter no persecution, but to have won many converts. The simple omission of any mention of persecutions strikingly coincides with Paul’s own account in 2 Timothy 3:11, where Paul reminds Timothy of his persecutions at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, and there stops. Paley draws a striking argument from this plainly undesigned coincidence between the Acts and the Epistle to prove the authenticity and the... read more
22. And that The that depends upon exhorting; or we may supply saying, after and understood. Much tribulation This is true especially of ages of persecution; it is true, in a less degree, even in Christian lands, and in the ordinary state of a world unconverted. Nay, it is even true internally of every Christian, since the depravities of the heart itself are ever prone, unless kept in firm subjection, to rise up in insurrection against the grace of God. But this text cannot be so... read more
23. Ordained The Greek word signifies to elect by the outstretched hand. This election is a different act, expressed by a different word, from the imposition of hands, by which ordination is performed. The election in the present case is expressly said to have been done by the apostles. We may suppose reasonably that they consulted the views of the members of the Church; but there is not the slightest ground for doubt that Luke attributes the authority of the act to the apostles. ... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 14:23
23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. Ver. 23. Ordained them elders ] Giving their votes by lifting up their hands, after the fashion of the Greeks, χειροτονησαντες ; whence that of Cicero, porrexerunt manus, psephisma natum est. Or else laying on their hands, as the apostles used to do in ordaining of ministers. Stephanus saith, that this word when it governeth an accusative case (as... read more
