Continuing Ministry in Syria

30 So when they were sent off, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement.

32 Now Judas and Silas, themselves being ^aprophets also, ^bexhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words.

33 And after they had stayed there for a time, they were ^asent back with greetings from the brethren to¹ the apostles.

34 ¹However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there.

35 ^aPaul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

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.
