"A dissension about circumcision. The decision and letter of the council of Jerusalem." : from The Holy Catholic Bible:DOUAY-RHEIMS ACTS 15:

"And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. {Acts 10:20} 8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Spirit, as well as to us; {Acts 10:45} 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10 Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also. 12 And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them." The first council of Jerusalem was hereby called.

The twelve apostles played a significant role in the spread of Christianity and the organization of the early church. They were key figures in establishing Christian communities and spreading the teachings of Jesus. However, their influence varied among the different regions and communities, and not all apostles were present at every council meeting.
