Following these events, the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch under the preaching of Philip, the vision of Peter at Joppa, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon Cornelius and his household, served to convince the apostles and leading brethren at Jerusalem, that God had granted to the Gentiles repentance unto life. Thus was the way preparing for Paul to enter upon his mission.{LP 39.2}

Herefter kommer disse begivenheder: Omvendelsen af den ætiopiske hofmand under Filips forkyndelse, Peters syn i Jobbe, og udgydelsen af Helligånden over Kornelius og hans hus, der skulle overbevise apostlene og de ledende brødre i Jerusalem, at Gud har givet hedningene anger til liv. Derved blev vejen forberedt til Paulus til at gå ind i hans mission.
