Acts 11:1
11:1 And {1} the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard
     that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

 (1) Peter, being reprehended without reason by the unskilful
     and ignorant, does not object and say that he should not be
     judged by any, but openly gives an account of his actions.

Acts 11:18
11:18 {2} When they heard these things, they held their peace,
      and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the
      Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

 (2) Those who ask a question of the truth which they do not
     know, ought to be quietly heard, and must also quietly
     yield to the declaration of the truth.

Acts 11:19
11:19 {3} Now they which were scattered abroad upon the
      persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as
      Phenice, and Cyprus, and {a} Antioch, preaching the word
      to none but unto the Jews only.

 (3) The scattering abroad of Jerusalem is the cause of the
     gathering together of many other churches.
     (a) He speaks of Antioch which was in Syria and bordered
         upon Cilicia.

Acts 11:20
11:20 {4} And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which,
      when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians,
      preaching the Lord Jesus.

 (4) The church of Antioch, the new Jerusalem of the Gentiles,
     was extraordinarily called.

Acts 11:22
11:22 {5} Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the
      church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth
      Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

 (5) The apostles do not rashly condemn an extraordinary
     calling, but instead they judge it by the effects.

Acts 11:25
11:25 {6} Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

 (6) There was no contention amongst the apostles, either with
     regard to usurping, or with regard to holding places of
     degree.

Acts 11:27
11:27 {7} And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto
      Antioch.

 (7) God punishes his Church when he punishes the wicked, in his
     scourges and plagues which he sends upon the earth, in such
     a way that he nonetheless conveniently provides for it.

Acts 11:29
11:29 {8} Then the disciples, every man according to his
      ability, determined to send {b} relief unto the brethren
      which dwelt in Judaea:

 (8) All congregations or churches make one body.
     (b) That is, that the deacons might help the poor with it:
         for it was appropriate and helpful to have all these
         things done orderly and decently, and therefore it is
         said that they sent these things to the elders, that
         is, to the governors of the Church.
