Acts 11

Acts 11

When Peter returns to Jerusalem, the Jewish believers criticize him for eating with uncircumcised Gentiles. Peter patiently explains the visions he received and how the Holy Spirit fell upon Cornelius's household. The critics are silenced and praise God, declaring, "So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life." The gospel then spreads to Antioch, where the disciples are first called Christians. Barnabas and Saul begin teaching there.
