Early believers were motivated to leave Jerusalem and spread the gospel to Samaria and Antioch primarily due to persecution, particularly following the martyrdom of Stephen. This scattering of believers led them to share their faith with non-Jewish people, fulfilling Jesus’ command to spread the gospel beyond Jerusalem. Additionally, the Holy Spirit’s guidance played a crucial role in directing their efforts toward diverse communities, ultimately leading to the establishment of early Christian congregations among Gentiles.
