Después de mucha discusión, Pedro se levantó y les dijo: 'Hermanos, ustedes saben que hace tiempo Dios me escogió para que los gentiles oyeran de mi boca el mensaje del evangelio y creyeran.'

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the early Christian church, a significant debate arose about whether Gentiles, or non-Jewish people, needed to follow Jewish laws like circumcision to be accepted as believers. This verse is from the Jerusalem Council, a gathering of apostles and elders in the mid-1st century AD to address this issue and decide on the church's direction. Peter is referring to his earlier encounter with Cornelius, as described in Acts 10, where God demonstrated that the Holy Spirit was given to Gentiles without requiring them to adopt Jewish customs.
