Acts 15:31-33

_ _ they rejoiced for the consolation — As the same word is in Acts 15:31 properly rendered “exhorted,” the meaning probably is “rejoiced for the exhortation” (Margin), or advice; so wise in itself and so contrary to the imposition attempted to be practiced upon them by the Judaizers.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
