Kepha and Ya‛aqoḇ Affirm Kepha as Appointed Emissary to Nations

Emissary Kepha Reminded Multitude at Jerusalem That He Was Yahusha Mashiach Appointed Emissary to the Nations, Disputing Sha’ul’s Public Claim Over His Position Directly to His Face, While Emissary Ya’aqob, Being Also Present During the Dispute, Spoke in Agreement With Kepha

‘And certain men came down from Yehuḏah and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised, according to the practice of Mosheh, you are unable to be saved.” So when Sha’ul and Barnaḇa had no small dissension and dispute with them, they arranged for Sha’ul and Barnaḇa and certain others of them to go up to Yerushalayim, to the emissaries and elders, about this question. So, being sent on their way by the assembly, they passed through Phoenicia and Shomeron, relating the conversion of the nations. And they were causing great joy to all the brothers. And having arrived in Yerushalayim, they were received by the assembly and the emissaries and the elders. And they reported all that Elohim had done with them. And some of the believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Torah of Mosheh.” And the emissaries and elders came together to look into this matter. And when there had been much dispute, Kĕpha rose up and said to them, “Men, brothers, you know that a good while ago Elohim chose among us, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe. “And Elohim, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Set-apart Spirit, as also to us, and made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by belief. Now then, why do you try Elohim by putting a yoke on the neck of the taught ones which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?” But through the favour of the Master יהושע Messiah we trust to be saved, in the same way as they. And all the crowd was silent and were listening to Barnaḇa and Sha’ul declaring how many miracles and wonders Elohim did among the nations, through them. And after they were silent, Ya‛aqoḇ answered, saying, “Men, brothers, listen to me: “Shim‛on has declared how Elohim first visited the nations to take out of them a people for His Name. And the words of the prophets agree with this, as it has been written.” ‘After this I shall return and rebuild the Booth of Dawiḏ which has fallen down. And I shall rebuild its ruins, and I shall set it up, so that the remnant of mankind shall seek יהוה, even all the nations on whom My Name has been called, says יהוה who is doing all this,’ who has made this known from of old.’

‘“In that day I shall raise up the Booth of Dawiḏ which has fallen down. And I shall repair its breaches and raise up its ruins. And I shall build it as in the days of old, so that they possess the remnant of Eḏom, and all the nations on whom My Name is called,” declares יהוה who does this.’

Sha’ul, Who Was Not of the Taught Ones of יהושע Messiah While He Was Still in the Earth, But a Blasphemous Murderer of Them From the Time יהושע Was Crucified Up Until the Moment He Claimed Unwitnessed Authority to Teach and Preach the Good News of יהושע to the Nations, Strategically Undermining Kepha’s Position, Just as יהושע Messiah Prophesied

‘But Sha’ul, still breathing threats and murder against the taught ones of the Master, having come to the high priest, asked from him letters to the congregations of Dammeseq, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, to bring them bound to Yerushalayim.’

For I shall show him how much he has to suffer for My Name.’

‘And on the next Sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the Word of Elohim. But when the Yehuḏim saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. And contradicting and speaking evil, they opposed what Sha’ul was saying. But speaking boldly, Sha’ul and Barnaḇa said, “It was necessary that the word of Elohim should be spoken to you first, but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the nations. For so the Master has commanded us, ‘I have set you to be a light to the nations, that you should be for deliverance to the ends of the earth.’’

And when the blood of Your witness Stephanos was shed, I also was standing by giving my approval to his death, and keeping the garments of those who were killing him.’ “And He said to me, ‘Go, because I shall send you far from here to the nations.’ ”’

And last of all He was seen by me also, as if to one born prematurely.’
