Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 11:1

AND the apostles , and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

The rest of the Believers, who had not only one God to their Father, but one Church to their Mother, and were born of the same Spirit, and were fed by the same Milk of the Word of God.

This was a most incredible thing unto them who were of the Seed of Abraham according to the Flesh, and were not acquainted with that Mystery that Abraham should have a Seed of his Faith, upon whom all the Promises were entailed. These looked upon the Gentiles as most execrable persons, such as the Apostle describes Ephes. 2.12. that had no hope, and were without God, and therefore no less than a Miracle, and that well attested, as this was, could make them change their Opinion.
