TSK · Acts 8:5

Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them as follows:“Do not go on a road that leads to Gentile regions and do not enter any Samaritan town.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts of the earth.”

The proposal pleased the entire group, so they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a Gentile convert to Judaism from Antioch.

Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.

Philip, however, found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through the area, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

Paul went to the Jews in the synagogue, as he customarily did, and on three Sabbath days he addressed them from the scriptures,

but we preach about a crucified Christ, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.

For no one can lay any foundation other than what is being laid, which is Jesus Christ.
