Acts 11:18

Peter's Explanation To The Church In Jerusalem

¹⁷ If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God? ¹⁸ And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life. ¹⁹ Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.
