'Encouraged' in the Bible

Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message.

They went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.

And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace,

All of them were encouraged and they themselves also took food.
