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.

Felix, along with Drusilla listened to Paul's message for several years before Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus.

After the death of Stephen, Saul brought great persecution upon the Church chasing its’ leaders throughout Samaria and Gentile cities as they spread the gospel. Saul’s plan to eradicate Christianity didn’t work the way he had desired as Christianity only gained more followers. One of these church leaders was Philip. In Acts 8, Luke tells two stories about Philip, the first is his encounter with a sorcerer who tries to buy the power of the Holy Spirit, and the other involves teleportation and an Ethiopian Eunuch.
