ISBE 1915

kon'-fer, kon'-ferens: The equivalent of three Greek words of different shades of meaning. In Ga 1:16, prosanatithemi, had been used in classical writers for resorting to oracles (Lightfoot on Ga 2:6; Ellicott on Ga 1:16); hence, "to take counsel with," "to consult." In Ac 4:15, sumballo, "to compare views," "discuss"; and in Ac 25:12, sullaleo, "to talk together." Compare the single passage in the Old Testament (1Ki 1:7).
