1 Timothy 4:14
4:14 a laid their hands on you: The gesture signified recognition, authorization, and blessing (see Acts 13:1-3 b; 6:6 c). This was probably the same event as in 2 Tim 1:6-7 d (see 1 Tim 1:18 e; cp. Rom 12:6-8 f; 1 Cor 12:7-11 g; Eph 4:7-13 h). Paul’s ministry and that of his delegates was under the authority of the church.
