Acts 15:30-32

Verse 31

They rejoiced for the consolation - It was not a matter of small moment to have a question on which such stress was laid decided by an apostolic council, over which the Spirit of God presided. Verse 32

Judas and Silas, being prophets - That is, being teachers in the Church. This signification of the word prophet we have often already seen. See the notes on Act 11:27; Act 13:1.

Exhorted the brethren - To abide steadily attached to God, and to each other, in peace, love, and unity.

And confirmed them - In the blessed truths they had already received.
