00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:30.899
News<00:00:27.379><c> came</c><00:00:27.760><c> to</c><00:00:28.019><c> the</c><00:00:28.219><c> Jerusalem</c><00:00:28.820><c> Ecclesia</c><00:00:29.420><c> that</c><00:00:29.940><c> Gentiles</c><00:00:30.579><c> had</c>

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:39.159
Surely<00:00:34.920><c> the</c><00:00:35.380><c> Ecclesia</c><00:00:35.799><c> would</c><00:00:36.119><c> rejoice</c><00:00:36.719><c> at</c><00:00:36.960><c> the</c><00:00:37.179><c> news,</c><00:00:37.820><c> but</c><00:00:38.079><c> no.</c>

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:42.820
It<00:00:39.679><c> began</c><00:00:39.920><c> the</c><00:00:40.219><c> problem</c><00:00:40.539><c> of</c><00:00:40.859><c> Judaism</c><00:00:41.320><c> in</c><00:00:41.659><c> the</c><00:00:41.859><c> Ecclesias</c><00:00:42.479><c> that</c>

00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.960
until<00:00:46.759><c> eventually</c><00:00:47.399><c> the</c><00:00:47.719><c> Jewish</c><00:00:48.100><c> Ecclesias</c><00:00:48.840><c> were</c><00:00:49.140><c> destroyed.</c>

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.840
The<00:00:51.399><c> problem</c><00:00:51.780><c> was</c><00:00:52.039><c> not</c><00:00:52.299><c> the</c><00:00:52.619><c> apostles,</c><00:00:53.420><c> but</c><00:00:53.619><c> the</c><00:00:54.039><c> circumcision</c><00:00:54.740><c> party,</c>

00:00:55.899 --> 00:00:59.479
who<00:00:56.100><c> became</c><00:00:56.479><c> a</c><00:00:56.899><c> pressure</c><00:00:57.219><c> group</c><00:00:57.560><c> for</c><00:00:57.960><c> circumcision</c><00:00:58.759><c> and</c><00:00:59.259><c> the</c>

00:01:02.219 --> 00:01:05.140
The<00:01:02.500><c> circumcision</c><00:01:03.159><c> party</c><00:01:03.579><c> didn't</c><00:01:03.899><c> object</c><00:01:04.400><c> to</c><00:01:04.640><c> Gentiles</c>

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:06.760
being<00:01:05.519><c> baptized,</c>

00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:11.980
but<00:01:07.359><c> to</c><00:01:07.739><c> Peter's</c><00:01:08.599><c> scandalous</c><00:01:09.359><c> behavior</c><00:01:10.099><c> in</c><00:01:10.739><c> going</c><00:01:11.079><c> into</c><00:01:11.579><c> the</c>

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.799
even<00:01:15.599><c> eating</c><00:01:16.379><c> with</c><00:01:16.859><c> them.</c>

00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:22.280
And<00:01:18.900><c> this</c><00:01:19.200><c> criticism</c><00:01:19.799><c> was</c><00:01:20.159><c> made</c><00:01:20.519><c> despite</c><00:01:21.120><c> Peter</c><00:01:21.540><c> having</c><00:01:21.900><c> been</c>

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.060
appointed<00:01:22.680><c> by</c><00:01:23.060><c> Christ</c><00:01:23.579><c> as</c><00:01:24.299><c> the</c><00:01:24.519><c> leading</c><00:01:24.840><c> apostle.</c>

00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:35.379
It<00:01:27.920><c> is</c><00:01:28.400><c> sin</c><00:01:28.879><c> that</c><00:01:29.359><c> separates</c><00:01:29.760><c> men</c><00:01:30.099><c> from</c><00:01:30.379><c> God,</c><00:01:31.140><c> not</c><00:01:31.500><c> uncircumcision,</c><00:01:33.140><c> not</c><00:01:33.819><c> nationality,</c><00:01:34.980><c> nor</c>

00:01:36.659 --> 00:01:39.780
for<00:01:36.900><c> which</c><00:01:37.140><c> we</c><00:01:37.439><c> cannot</c><00:01:37.700><c> be</c><00:01:38.000><c> held</c><00:01:38.200><c> responsible,</c><00:01:39.019><c> since</c><00:01:39.280><c> it</c><00:01:39.480><c> is</c>

00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:41.519
not<00:01:40.099><c> our</c><00:01:40.540><c> fault.</c>

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.540
Peter<00:01:42.939><c> was</c><00:01:43.159><c> in</c><00:01:43.420><c> trouble,</c><00:01:45.040><c> but</c><00:01:45.140><c> at</c><00:01:45.400><c> least</c><00:01:45.680><c> he</c><00:01:45.819><c> was</c><00:01:46.099><c> given</c><00:01:46.319><c> the</c>

00:01:46.540 --> 00:01:49.060
opportunity<00:01:47.180><c> to</c><00:01:47.560><c> explain,</c>

00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.299
though<00:01:49.680><c> the</c><00:01:50.000><c> circumcision</c><00:01:50.640><c> party</c><00:01:51.060><c> had</c><00:01:51.359><c> already</c><00:01:51.819><c> discussed</c>

00:01:52.299 --> 00:01:56.400
the<00:01:52.480><c> matter</c><00:01:52.680><c> in</c><00:01:52.920><c> his</c><00:01:53.180><c> absence</c><00:01:53.599><c> and</c><00:01:54.400><c> condemned</c><00:01:55.040><c> his</c><00:01:55.340><c> action.</c>

00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.719
So<00:01:57.799><c> Peter</c><00:01:58.099><c> rehearsed</c><00:01:58.719><c> the</c><00:01:58.879><c> matter</c><00:01:59.120><c> from</c><00:01:59.500><c> the</c><00:01:59.780><c> beginning.</c>

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.219
His<00:02:01.939><c> was</c><00:02:02.659><c> no</c><00:02:03.299><c> instant</c><00:02:03.939><c> decision.</c>

00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:12.199
He<00:02:05.760><c> had</c><00:02:06.239><c> said</c><00:02:06.519><c> he</c><00:02:06.780><c> had</c><00:02:07.180><c> considered</c><00:02:07.879><c> the</c><00:02:08.180><c> meaning</c><00:02:08.439><c> of</c><00:02:08.680><c> the</c><00:02:08.840><c> vision</c><00:02:09.099><c> before</c><00:02:09.960><c> refusing</c><00:02:10.639><c> to</c><00:02:11.199><c> eat.</c>

00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.099
It<00:02:13.020><c> was</c><00:02:13.319><c> the</c><00:02:13.740><c> Spirit</c><00:02:14.020><c> that</c><00:02:14.259><c> had</c><00:02:14.539><c> said,</c><00:02:15.520><c> Go</c><00:02:15.560><c> with</c><00:02:15.819><c> them,</c>

00:02:16.139 --> 00:02:18.039
nothing<00:02:16.659><c> doubting.</c>

00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:22.120
And<00:02:18.780><c> how</c><00:02:19.139><c> wise</c><00:02:19.500><c> he</c><00:02:19.740><c> had</c><00:02:19.979><c> been</c><00:02:20.180><c> to</c><00:02:20.439><c> take</c><00:02:20.680><c> six</c><00:02:21.139><c> others</c><00:02:21.599><c> with</c><00:02:21.900><c> him</c>

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.560
as<00:02:22.419><c> witnesses.</c>

00:02:24.419 --> 00:02:28.340
There<00:02:24.719><c> had</c><00:02:24.939><c> been</c><00:02:25.240><c> seven</c><00:02:25.639><c> of</c><00:02:25.919><c> them</c><00:02:26.099><c> in</c><00:02:26.300><c> all</c><00:02:26.639><c> the</c><00:02:26.860><c> number</c><00:02:27.120><c> of</c><00:02:27.300><c> the</c><00:02:27.520><c> covenant.</c>

00:02:28.819 --> 00:02:31.960
These<00:02:29.219><c> had</c><00:02:29.460><c> come</c><00:02:29.719><c> with</c><00:02:29.979><c> Peter</c><00:02:30.360><c> to</c><00:02:30.560><c> Jerusalem</c><00:02:31.240><c> to</c><00:02:31.599><c> present</c>

their<00:02:32.319><c> case.</c>

00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:37.599
Notice<00:02:34.460><c> too</c><00:02:34.840><c> that</c><00:02:35.039><c> Peter</c><00:02:35.360><c> said,</c><00:02:36.580><c> The</c><00:02:36.580><c> man?</c>

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.340
It<00:02:38.659><c> would</c><00:02:39.020><c> surely</c><00:02:39.379><c> have</c><00:02:39.719><c> made</c><00:02:39.960><c> the</c><00:02:40.099><c> matter</c><00:02:40.340><c> worse</c><00:02:40.759><c> if</c><00:02:40.979><c> he</c><00:02:41.159><c> had</c>

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:54.219
Moreover,<00:02:48.240><c> Cornelius</c><00:02:48.840><c> had</c><00:02:49.120><c> seen</c><00:02:49.439><c> an</c><00:02:49.800><c> angel,</c><00:02:50.979><c> and</c><00:02:51.300><c> they</c><00:02:51.620><c> couldn't</c><00:02:52.139><c> criticize</c><00:02:52.919><c> an</c><00:02:53.379><c> angel.</c>

00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:01.560
And<00:02:55.680><c> then</c><00:02:56.159><c> the</c><00:02:56.620><c> angel</c><00:02:56.919><c> had</c><00:02:57.159><c> said</c><00:02:57.419><c> that</c><00:02:57.719><c> Simon</c><00:02:58.199><c> shall</c><00:02:59.240><c> tell</c><00:02:59.680><c> thee</c><00:02:59.939><c> words</c><00:03:00.479><c> whereby</c><00:03:00.900><c> thou</c><00:03:01.300><c> and</c>

00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:09.840
Their<00:03:05.740><c> conversion</c><00:03:06.319><c> had</c><00:03:06.680><c> not</c><00:03:07.000><c> been</c><00:03:07.419><c> an</c><00:03:07.819><c> emotional</c><00:03:08.460><c> outburst,</c>

00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.899
