While Paul and Barnabas were at Antioch on their missionary journey, certain Jews came to them, raising the question of the acceptance of I the Gentiles into the new religion. Under Mosaic law, one must be circumcised, and the Jews demart.ed that this rite be performed upon the Gentiles. The discussion rose to such a pitch that it was decided to refer it to the mother church in Jerusalem,

— Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? The Council at Jerusalem QUESTIONS 1. What was the cause of the first council at Jerusalem? 2. Why was it decided to take the matter to the mother church?, 3. Who went from Antioch to i Jerusalem? 4 How did they reach Jerusa-j lem? 5. What was first done after' their arrival? 6. Wlio presided at the council?, 7. Who were some of those who attended it? 8. Why was the meeting an I important one? 9. What became of Titus in later years? ANSWERS 10. When was the council held? 1. Paul and Barnabas had accepted Gentiles into the Christian j church without'obliging them to conform to the rite of circumcision. The Jews who were stric* observers of the Mosaic laws took exception to this, and a split was imminent, especially in Corinth. 2. To settle the question finally, it was decided to take it to the | mother church in Jerusalem, over I which the twelve apostles presidI ed. Paul also received a revela- ; iton directiitg him to do this. 3. Paul and Barnabas and with ' them Titus. an uncircumcised I Greek who had been converted , from heathenism. 4. The little party Journeyed along the Phoenician coast through Tyre and Sidon, inland through Samaria and Judaea until they reached Jerusalem, a distance of about 300 miles. 5. When they first arrived, i th” *hree messengers went about j holding preliminary conferences as to how the question should be I settled. Such a discussion was I raised that a general council was I ordered. 6. James, the brother of Jesus, our Lord. 7. Among those who were present were Peter and John, and. of course. James. Others who probably attended were Mark and his j mother Mary; Marv. the mother of i Jesus; Mary and Martha and their i brother. Lazarus; Nicodemus and , Joseph of Arimathea. 8. Because it settled, then and I there, the future of Christianity. Had the Jewish religionists bad their way, the religion probably would have been restricted to that race instead of becoming worldwide. 9. In later years. Titus became' one of Paul's helpers and was

Paul and Barnabas reported the flourishing state of Christianity among the Gentiles of Antioch, the es'ablishment of the faith in Cyprus and throughout the cities of central Asia Minor. They had not proceeded far in their discussion, however, before some of the stricter of the Jewish members began to criticise Paul, insisting that Gentiles should be admitted only after complying with the Mosaic law.
