Theme of chapter: Peter returns to Jerusalem where he explains his vision and salvation to the Gentiles.
Most important verse: Acts 11:
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Most prominent word: Joppa (beautiful)
Teaching about Christ: Reiterates that salvation through Jesus Christ is for both the Jew and Gentile
Command to obey: pray often with praise and thanksgiving.
Promise to claim: this is God's universe and he is in control, even when it doesn't look like he is.
New truth learned: The Jews back in Jerusalem were giving Peter a hard time about him going and staying and eating with uncircumcised. Peter told them about his vision, and the people zipped their lip and praised God for granting salvation to the Gentiles.
