ACTS 15:32 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.”
Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the believers — the prophetic gifts (prophētai) of the council's representatives enabled them to minister orally beyond the letter's content. The verb encourage and strengthen (parakaleo, to exhort) suggests pastoral and charismatic ministry complementing the letter's authority.
