Acts Chapter 11
The word that Gentiles also received salvation spread throughout Judea. The Jewish believers took issue with that. Thus, Peter explained all he had done explaining this was the work of the God, for they also received the gift of the Holy Spirit. After hearing this the Jewish believers glorified God, seeing this was God's work. Then, those who scattered because of what happened to Stephen went to Antioch. The Church there grew so rapidly, Barnabas was sent there, along with Saul of Tarsus. Prophets came as well, one being Agabus, who declared a great famine was coming. Therefore, the disciples in Judea sent a contribution to help them.

Cornelius, a Roman Centurion, and follower of the Jewish faith, had a vision of an angel who told him to find Simon Peter and bring him back. Since Peter believed Gentiles were unclean, he should not go. He thought this was a test. But after a discussion with God, Peter realized neither people or food are inherently unclean, so he went to Cornelius and many gentiles were saved and baptized both in water and the Holy Spirit.

In this chapter, Paul sails to Rome. On the way, a serious storm comes up and creates so many problems, they need to jettison the cargo that was being shipped. Ultimately, they end up leaving the ship and swimming or floating to the nearby island because the ship was wrecked of the coast. Eventually, all the people made it to shore, with no deaths.

Some Jews began teaching that Gentiles could not be saved unless they were circumcised. Paul and Barnabas challenged them, and ultimately this dispute
was brought before the Church in Jerusalem where the decision was made stating circumcision was not required due to references in the Old Testament, which
presentated by James. Paul, who was in Antioch, spoke with Barnabas regarding meeting with the bretheren in all the cities the ministered in, to see how
they were doing. Barnabas wanted to take John Mark with them, but Paul said no, so Mark went with Barnabas and Silas went with Paul.
