About the passage
Acts 11: The welcome must be explained in Jerusalem
News of Gentiles receiving God's word reaches Jerusalem together with a more practical objection: Peter entered the home of uncircumcised people and ate with them. Peter does not answer by appealing to rank. He recounts the sequence, the repeated vision, the Spirit's direction, the six witnesses, Cornelius's message, and the Holy Ghost falling as at the beginning. The argument ends with a question about whether he could withstand God, and the critics move from contention to glorifying God for granting Gentiles repentance unto life. The chapter then returns to the earlier scattering after Stephen and follows unnamed believers as the message reaches Antioch. Barnabas arrives, recognizes grace, and strengthens what he finds rather than claiming it. He seeks Saul in Tarsus, and the two spend a year teaching there, where the disciples are first called Christians. The chapter closes with prophecy becoming relief, as Antioch sends practical aid toward Judaea through Barnabas and Saul.
