Apostle Kepha Reminded Multitude at Yerushalayim That He Was Appointed Apostle to the Nations By Yahusha Mashiach, Disputing Pa’al’s Public Claim Over His Position Directly to His Face, While Apostle Ya`aqov, Being Also Present During the Dispute, Spoke in Agreement With Kepha
“And certain men which came down from Yahud taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Mosheh, ye cannot be saved. When therefore Pa’al and Bar-Naviy had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Pa’al and Bar-Naviy, and certain other of them, should go up to Yerushalayim unto the apostles and elders about this question. And being brought on their way by the called out assembly, they passed through Phoenicia and Shomeron, declaring the conversion of the other nations: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. And when they were come to Yerushalayim, they were received of the called out assembly, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that Elohiym had done with them. But there rose up certain of the sect of the Parashiym which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to guard the Law of Mosheh. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. And when there had been much disputing, Kepha rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago Elohiym made choice among us, that the other nations by my mouth should hear the word of the Besorah, and believe. And Elohiym, which knows the hearts, bore them witness, giving them the Ruach Ha’Qodesh, even as he did unto us; And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye Elohiym, to put a yoke upon the neck of the Talmidiym, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Adonai Yahusha Ha’Mashiach we shall be saved, even as they. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Bar-Naviy and Pa’al, declaring what miracles and wonders Elohiym had wrought among the other nations by them. And after they had held their peace, Ya`aqov answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: Shim`on has declared how Elohiym at the first did visit the other nations, to take out of them a people for His name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the Tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the remnant of men might seek after Yahuah, and all the other nations, upon whom My name is called, says Yahuah, who does all these things. Known unto Elohiym are all His works from the beginning of the world.”
- Ma’asiym (Acts) 15:1-18
“In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of Daviyd that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by My name, says Yahuah that does this.”
- Amoc (Amos) 9:11-12
Pa’al, Who Was Not of the Talmidiym of Yahusha Mashiach While He Was Still in the Earth, But a Blasphemous Murderer of Them From the Time Yahusha Was Crucified Up Until the Moment He Claimed Unwitnessed Authority to Teach and Preach the Besorah of Yahusha to the Nations, Strategically Undermining Kepha’s Position, Just as Yahusha Mashiach Prophesied
“And Sha’ul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the Talmidiym of Adonai, went unto the high priest, And desired of him cepheriym to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Yerushalayim.”
- Ma’asiym (Acts) 9:1-2
“Then Chananyahu answered, Adonai, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he has done to your qodeshiym at Yerushalayim: And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on your name. But Yahuah said unto him, Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the other nations, and kings, and the children of Yashar’el: For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
- Ma’asiym (Acts) 9:13-16
“And the next Shabbath came almost the whole city together to hear the Word of Elohiym. But when the Yahudiym saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Pa’al, contradicting and blaspheming. Then Pa’al and Bar-Naviy waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the Word of Elohiym should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the other nations. For so has Yah commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the other nations, that you should be for yeshu`ah unto the ends of the earth.”
- Ma’asiym (Acts) 13:44-47
“And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of Elohiym for the work which they fulfilled. And when they were come, and had gathered את the called out assembly together, they rehearsed all that Elohiym had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the other nations.”
- Ma’asiym (Acts) 14:26-27
“And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to El-Yerushalayim, even while I prayed in the Temple, I was in a trance; And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get quickly out of Yerushalayim: for they will not receive your testimony concerning me. And I said, Adonai, they know that I את imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them את that believed on you: And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him. And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send you far hence unto the other nations.”
- Ma’asiym (Acts) 22:17-21
“My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among my own nation at Yerushalayim, know all the Yahudiym; Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our observances I lived a Parashiy.”
- Ma’asiym (Acts) 26:4-5
“And I thank Mashiach Yahusha our Adonai, who has enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.”
- Timotheus Ri’shon (1 Timothy) 1:12-13
“For I speak to you other nations, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the other people, I magnify my office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation את them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.”
- Romaiym (Romans) 11:13-14
“But contrariwise, when they saw that the Besorah of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the Besorah of the circumcision was unto Kepha; (For he that wrought effectually in Kepha to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the other nations:) And when Ya`aqov, Kepha, and Yochanon, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Bar-Naviy the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.”
- Galatiym (Galatians) 2:7-9
Pa’al Wasted No Time Upgrading His Status as He Began Claiming Himself an Apostle of Yahusha Mashiach, Fully Undermining Kepha’s Appointed Position, Just as Yahusha Prophecied, While the Usurper Contradicted Himself by Simultaneously Acknowledging Yahusha’s Twelve Appointed Apostles

- Qorintiym Ri’shon (1 Corinthians) 9:1-2
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Mashiach died for our sins according to the Scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures: And that he was seen of Kepha, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of Ya`aqov; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.”
