ACTS 15:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.”
The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message — the people's joy (chara) at the ruling indicates relief that gentile believers are not burdened with circumcision and full Mosaic observance. The term encouraging message (paraklesis) recalls the earlier synagogue invitation (13:15), suggesting Scripture's comfort function.
