Acts 11:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

11 Now the apostles (special messengers) and the brethren who were throughout Judea heard [with astonishment] that the Gentiles (heathen) also had received and accepted and welcomed the Word of God [the doctrine concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God].

³ Saying, Why did you go to uncircumcised men and [even] eat with them?
