Summary

Peter, one of Jesus's 12 disciples, had a vision one day of God telling him to eat unclean animals. God told Peter not to call what He created unclean. After the vision, Peter went to the home of Cornelius, a Gentile, and told him and his family about the Jesus. Cornelius and his family believed and received the Holy Spirit. When the Jewish followers of Jesus realized the Gospel was for Gentiles too, they glorified God!

The disciples and other believers contintued to spread the Gospel amist persecution. Paul, along with other believers, traveled around the Roman world preaching the truth about Jesus, how to live as a follower of Jesus, and encouraging followers as they faced false teachers, uncertanties and hard times. These missionaries and others started churches in many of the cities they visited while the leaders back in Jerusalem made sure the message of the Gospel stayed true to the teachings of Jesus and the Old Testament.
