International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Assent:

a-sent':Twice used in the King James Version as equivalent to "voice," and to "consent," and displaced in both instances in the Revised Version (British and American) by the literal rendering of the Hebrew peh, "mouth" (2Ch 18:12); and the Greek suntithemi, "agree to," i.e. "affirm" (Ac 24:9).

King James Dictionary

Assent: To Agree Upon.

For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. And the Jews also ASSENTED, saying that these things were so. (Acts 24:5-9)
