Gladly ( asōmens ).

JFB: Act 21:17-19 - -- The disciples generally, as distinguished from the official reception recorded in Act 21:18.

The disciples generally, as distinguished from the official reception recorded in Act 21:18.

17.They received us gladly Luke reciteth this, therefore, that he may set forth the equity of the brethren, who did not credit rumors − 467 and false reports. Though many envious and wicked men did daily, one after another, endeavor to bring Paul in contempt, yet, because James and his fellows in office were well persuaded of his uprightness, they were not estranged from him. Therefore, they receive him now courteously and brotherly as a servant of Christ, and declare that he is welcome. This moderation must we observe diligently, that we be not too hasty to believe wicked reports, especially when those who have given some testimony of their honesty, and whom we have tried − 468 to serve God faithfully, are burdened with crimes unknown to us, or else doubtful, because Satan knoweth that nothing is more fit to lay waste the kingdom of Christ, than discord and disagreement among the faithful, he ceaseth not to spread abroad false − 469 speeches, which may cause one to suspect another. Therefore, we must shut our ears against false reports, that we may believe nothing concerning the faithful ministers of the Word, but that which we know to be true. −

Defender: Act 21:17 - -- Evidently Luke was still with Paul as they came to Jerusalem."

Evidently Luke was still with Paul as they came to Jerusalem."

TSK: Act 21:17 - -- the brethren : Act 15:4; Rom 15:7; Heb 13:1, Heb 13:2; 3Jo 1:7, 3Jo 1:8

The brethren - Christians.

Received us gladly - They had been long absent. They had been into distant regions, and had encountered many dangers. It was a matter of joy that they had now returned in safety.

It is thought, that by brethren in this place, and Act 21:7 , they are meant, who, being believers, were formed into a church with its several officers, and that they are called disciples only, Act 21:4 , who, living dispersed, and in smaller numbers, could not constitute such a church; but surely whatsoever there is of privilege and happiness in this spiritual fraternity, that truly catholic charity that was in the apostles and other holy men, would not so confine it, as to exelude any from enjoying of it, who did not exclude themselves by greater crimes than their paucity in number, or the consequences of that, could amount unto.

Gill: Act 21:17 - -- And when we were come to Jerusalem,.... That is, Paul and his companions, attended with the disciples of Caesarea, and Mnason the old disciple with th...

And when we were come to Jerusalem,.... That is, Paul and his companions, attended with the disciples of Caesarea, and Mnason the old disciple with them:

the brethren received us gladly; readily, willingly, and cheerfully; they did not treat them with an air of coldness and indifference, or look shy on them, or show any resentment to them, notwithstanding the various reports which had been brought them, concerning the ministry of the apostle among the Gentiles.
