Acts 11 describes Peter's defence of his visit to Cornelius’s house in Caesarea and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit which took place during their meeting. The chapter also discusses the development of the church in Antioch, which became the epicentre of the Gentile Church, and the spread of the Gospel to the Gentiles. In this chapter we also get a glimpse of what the spiritual gifts of apostleship and prophecy looked like in the early Church.
