Acts 21:17 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 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 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.

Acts 21:17 In-Context

15 So at the end of our stay, we packed and went up to Yerushalayim;

16 and with us went some of the talmidim from Caesarea. They brought us to the home of the man with whom we were to stay, Mnason from Cyprus, who had been a talmid since the early days.

17 In Yerushalayim, the brothers received us warmly.

18 The next day Sha'ul and the rest of us went in to Ya'akov, and all the elders were present.

19 After greeting them, Sha'ul described in detail each of the things God had done among the Gentiles through his efforts.
