Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - To edification, and exhortation, and comfort. The "to" should be omitted. His words build up the Christian soul, by rousing its efforts and consoling its sorrows. The "Son of prophecy" (Barnabas) is, as Stanley points out, also "a Son of consolation" (Acts 4:36). "Support" (paraklesis) involves "comfort," i.e. strength and calm.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Edification, and exhortation, and comfort.--They communed with God by the speaking with tongues; they communed with the brethren by prophecy--building up, stirring up, cheering up, as each required.
