‘And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.'
Arriving in Jerusalem Paul and his companions were ‘received gladly' by the whole church. Their welcome was friendly and genuine as befitted fellow-Christians. It is probable that at this stage these people knew nothing about the Collection. They welcomed them for what they were. There is no hint here of opposition (which, of course, did not come from them). All was well with the church.
