Repentance to Life

Name Date

Read and Think

The apostles heard that Gentiles had received the word of God. Some believers argued with Peter for eating with them. Peter explained everything in order: the vision, the voice, the three men, and the Spirit telling him to go without discriminating.

Peter said that as he began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on the apostles at the beginning. He asked who he was to withstand God. The believers held their peace and glorified God. They said, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!"

Those scattered after Stephen preached as far as Antioch. Some spoke to Greeks about the Lord Jesus, and a great number believed. Barnabas came and saw the grace of God. He urged them to remain near to the Lord with purpose of heart. He brought Saul from Tarsus, and they taught for a whole year.

In Antioch the disciples were first called Christians. When Agabus foretold a famine, the disciples gave as each was able. They sent relief to Judea by Barnabas and Saul.
