kon´fûr , kon´fẽrens : The equivalent of three Greek words of different shades of meaning. In Galatians 1:16 , προσανατίθημι , prosanatı́thēmi , had been used in classical writers for resorting to oracles (Lightfoot on Galatians 2:6; Ellicott on Galatians 1:16 ); hence, "to take counsel with," "to consult." In Acts 4:15 , συμβάλλω , sumbállō , "to compare views," "discuss"; and in Acts 25:12 , συλλαλέω , sullaléō , "to talk together." Compare the single passage in the Old Testament (1 Kings 1:7 ).
