Peter was a man of action. When he thought something needed to be said or done he did it. When he was a disciple during Jesus' ministry his words and actions were often the wrong ones: like at the Transfiguration when he spoke when he should have been listening, or his brash claim that he would die for Jesus before he would deny Him, and when he cut off the ear of Malchus while trying to defend Jesus from being arrested. However, the Apostle Peter was a very different man. He was still a man of action but now his actions were the right ones because now, after the Resurrection, he understood who Jesus really was. The Peter we see in the book of Acts no longer thought of himself, his only purpose was to proclaim the Gospel to the world. Peter's first act was to compel the eleven disciples to name a replacement for the betrayer Judas Iscariot. His next "act" was to preach the greatest sermon ever. At Pentecost people from all over the world were gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate, and even though they all spoke different languages they could all understand what he was saying. On that day 3,000 people became Christians. And just imagine how many more would hear the Gospel when all of these people returned home and told their friends and family about what happened that day in Jerusalem.

What was chapter10 in the book acts about?
This section begins in Acts 9:32 and ends in Acts 11:18 and tells us about Peter preaching the gospel to gentiles. Acts 10 is about a Roman centurion Cornelius, receiving the gospel. In a vision Cornelius is told to send for Peter who was at that time in Joppa. Peter also has a vision and God shows him the gospel is for all people not just Israel. Peter goes to Joppa with Cornelius's servants and tells Cornelius and others the gospel.
