What happened in Acts 15:12 after Peter spoke?
In Acts 15:12, after Peter spoke, the entire multitude kept silence and listened to Barnabas and Paul. They declared the miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them. This marked a shift from uproar to attentive hearing of the Gentile mission.
Les explains that after Peter spoke in Acts 15:12, the whole multitude kept silence and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, who were declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. Les notes there had been an uproar because the Jews were jealous of their relationship with Jehovah and could not reconcile taking the message to Gentiles. But once Peter shared his testimony, the assembly quieted and listened to Barnabas and Paul. Les often says God does everything sovereignly; had Peter not had that eye-opening experience at the house of Cornelius, Paul would never have gotten off the hook, and Christianity would never have gotten off the ground. God opened Peter's eyes twelve years earlier to the fact that Gentiles could be saved by simply believing.
