Greek Commentary for Acts 1:20
Luke here returns to the address of Peter interrupted by Acts 1:18, Acts 1:19. Perfect passive indicative, the usual idiom in quoting scripture, stands written. Ps 69 is often quoted as Messianic in Matthew and John. [source]
Only here in the N.T., a country house, cottage, cabin. His office (την επισκοπην αυτου tēn episkopēn autou). Our word bishopric (Authorized Version) is from this word, office of bishop (επισχοπος episcopos). Only that is not the idea here, but over-seership (επι σκοπεω episkopeō) or office as in 1 Peter 2:12. It means to visit and to inspect, to look over. The ecclesiastical sense comes later (1 Timothy 3:1). [source]

Only here in New Testament. The word is used in classical Greek of a place for cattle. So Herodotus (i., 111): “The herdsman took the child in his arms, and went back the way he had come, till he reached the fold” ( ἔπαυλιν )Also of farm-building, a country-house. [source]
See on 1 Peter 2:12. Rev., better, office, with overseership in margin. Compare Luke 19:44. [source]
And different person. See on Acts 2:4. [source]

Imperfect tense of the impersonal δει dei with the infinitive clause (first aorist passive) and the accusative of general reference as a loose subject. Peter here assumes that Jesus is the Messiah and finds scripture illustrative of the treachery of Judas. He applies it to Judas and quotes the two passages in Acts 1:20 (Psalm 69:25; Psalm 109:8). The Holy Spirit has not yet come upon them, but Peter feels moved to interpret the situation. He feels that his mind is opened by Jesus (Luke 24:45). It is a logical, not a moral, necessity that Peter points out. Peter here claims the Holy Spirit as speaking in the scriptures as he does in 2 Peter 1:21. His description of Judas as “guide” (οδηγου hodēgou) to those who seized (συλλαβουσιν sullabousin) Jesus is that of the base traitor that he was. This very verb occurs in Luke 22:54 of the arrest of Jesus. [source]
Note μεν ουν men oun again without a corresponding δε de as in Acts 1:6. Acts 1:18, Acts 1:19 are a long parenthesis of Luke by way of explanation of the fate of Judas. In Acts 1:20 Peter resumes and quotes the scripture to which he referred in Acts 1:16. [source]
Condition of first class, assumed as true. Present middle indicative of ορεγω oregō old verb to reach out after something, governing the genitive. In N.T. only here, 1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 11:16. The office of a bishop (επισκοπης episkopēs). Genitive case after ορεγεται oregetai Late and rare word outside of lxx and N.T. (in a Lycaonian inscription). From επισκοπεω episkopeō and means “over-seership” as in Acts 1:20. [source]
