COUNSELLOR . This is the spelling in modern editions of the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . In the ed. of 1611 it is ‘counseller,’ except in Ezra 8:25 , Proverbs 12:20; Proverbs 15:22 , where the spelling is ‘counsellour.’ The word is used mostly of a king’s counsellor, or more generally of one who gives counsel. But in Daniel 3:2-3 it means a justice; and in Mark 15:43 , Luke 23:50 , it is used of Joseph of Arimathæa as a member of the Sanhedrin. In Daniel 3:24; Daniel 3:27; Daniel 4:36; Daniel 6:7 the peculiar word rendered ‘counsellor’ in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] is hesitatingly translated by Driver ‘minister’; RV [Note: Revised Version.] retains ‘counsellor.’
